What are the theories for why Barr took a step back? Could it simply be he was banged up? Or does he not care anymore? He clearly had talent. That doesn't just go away. Well I don't know if you recall, but leading up to his draft, he was on my "do not draft" list. I watched him play Stanford, and a few other games, and he just looked soft. He doesn't play with the aggression and physicality that a stud LB should (must actually). His rookie year I thought he was going to prove me wrong. But since then he seemed to revert back to the same garbage I saw out of him at UCLA and why I had him on my "do not draft" list prior to the draft. I think injuries certainly have played a part though. He's one of those really frustrating players. Seems to be a good dude that you want to root for. Seems to have all the talent in the world. He just doesn't seem to have the passion, drive, aggression, toughness and durability required to put it all to use.

Not what I wanted to see Jayme. I hope you are wrong on this one... Do you think I'm wrong? I hope I'm wrong too! But the vast majority of what I've seen out of him, in college and the NFL both, is what gave me that impression. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited about his potential once the Vikes drafted him, because I thought Zimmer was the kind of coach to get guys like him to play at full potential. But so far he's regressed since his rookie year and I wonder if Zimmer was losing the players last season as well.

I guess that's why they play the games though....

Would love to see another safety added. Backup QB. More Big 10 lineman.
