[Mr. Scot]

Per PFT.

Look out? :unsure:

I thought that was a few weeks ago

[Happy Panther]

Tried out last week but signed just now

[PantherWake]

Good for him

[Mr. Scot]

Tried out last week but signed just now

 

Correct.

 

Here's the link to their source story (Tampa Bay Times)

 

I had forgotten that Gettis was teammates with RG3 and Josh Gordon, which consequently means I had forgotten that RG3 and Gordon were teammates :unsure:

 

Had also forgotten that Gettis joins another former (temporary) Panther on the Tampa receiving corps, specifically Louis Murphy.

We may find out something about our organization, good or bad with this one.

Naw, he might be ok but he's not gonna blast off or anything man. The dude doesnt have great coordination, thats the bottom line. Great athlete, great guy it seems, but serviceable in the 1 or 2 he will never be.

That's not what I meant really.  I just meant if he does well, we still need to work on our evaluation techniques but if he flounders we can feel more confident in the front office.

 

Either way, I wish him luck.

Camp body.

Per the story, the top three receiver spots on their roster are likely set (Vincent Jackson, Mike Evans, Robert Herron) and there are already nine other guys competing for the remaining two or three jobs.  Obviously, some of those guys were on the Bucs roster last season, but even those who weren't have a head start on Gettis because he's signing relatively late in the process. 

 

Honestly, I wouldn't bet on him even making the team.

They signed him directly to the PUP list!

I dont get what you mean about evaluation then. He had a shot, did ok as a 3 and then got injured. Then he got another shot and we were on board but he got injured again. He was going to make the team last year. I dont think evaluation was a problem.

Goodluck Gettis,I'm pulling for you!!

[Mr. Scot]

The debate when he was cut went for something like 20 pages plus and got pretty contentious.

 

Some day I'm gonna make a list of our "you'll regret it" team, i.e. all the people someone screamed we'd be sorry for letting go.
