I loved and still love Bobby, but the truth is in developing a new core having Bobby here would have very likely limited the team in growth. He knew too much and would be able to put people where they needed to be. At some point you need to let the kids scrape their knee or fail a test. Learning the hard way is often the best way and possibly the only way.I don't know if Barton has an injury or something but he's going to cost us some more games this season. It seems like he is uninterested. Not a good trait for a linebacker. Pete has brought in Irvin for leadership but I'm wondering why they just didn't hold on to Bobby. They had the cap space. Not trying to be negative but this team really needs better linebacker play. Not sure if Austin Ekeler is a superstar but he sure looked like one. If this season derailes it's going to be because of missed tackles that Bobby would have made.
Letting Bobby go created a leadership void as well as a communication void that played out on the field. These voids are being filled and by the end of the season the team will likely be much better for it than if we had Bobby all year even with Barton on the field at times.
