Why Gettleman is a GM... and you aren't.

Recommended Posts

If you guys hate the team and it's decisions so much then why in the hell do you still follow this team? Seriously? All I see is you two constantly bitching and moaning about things you know absolutely nothing about. If you were such a great talent evaluator why are you not employed in the profession? I think I speak for 98 percent of this board when I say give it a rest, we get it, you're a genius and the FO is bumbling idiots.

I'm not their competition, they have to be smarter than the other 31 teams not me. You can be a fan and not agree with their decisions. We're all fans here. I defend this team when talking to other fans, but I come here and tell it like it is.

That's all I want, I'm not saying go out there and blindly throw money around, you can be smart about it. Just don't try to sell players on me like they're the answer and then come out and say after the season you knew it was a temporary fix. You can omit the truth without lying to fans.

Boom knowledge bomb..

Don't try to sell me on a player knowing he is a hope situation. ..

"I hope he can do this with coaching" "I hope him being left handed will make him a left tackle"

Then come back at the end of the season saying

"Well it was a economic move or signing" or "these guys were dollar store signing"..

Glad you are not the GM. Shorts will be overpaid by the Jets or someone else and really isnt that good. He had 53 catches on 110 targets in 2014. His drop rate was 11.67 in 2014. Plus he had soft tissue issues and injuries and ran a 4.5 40 which would be fine of he were like Benjamin but at 6ft tall and 200 lbs he really is not worth that much. I would take Ginn over him in a heartbeat. He is a slow Ginn who can't return punts or kickoffs. When the Jaguars dont even want you, there are issues.

Crabtree had achilles surgery after 2013 and has never returned to form. How many wide receivers have achilles surgery and gain back all of their speed and acceleration?

The only one out of those I would consider is NIcks because he will be relatively cheap and will be worth taking a flier given he wont be asking a lot of guaranteed money. Even then he isn't someone who you count on for a number 2 receiver with his injury history.

All are better than Bersin and Philly Brown. I'd take all of them over Cotchery at this point.

You dudes act like fuging robots. .

Must like this beep bop beep Must love that bop beep bop..

You miss the reality :lol:

Zod posted this thread to troll some of the dimmer light bulbs on the forum. They've responded pretty much as expected, and others like me have gotten a chuckle out of it, and even got in a poke or two ourselves.

They show themselves for who they are, yet still walk away thinking they're smarter than those with an optimistic outlook.

In other words, they don't get it.

Look at me I'm smart because I agree with the 7-9 Panthers!

Scot I respect your opinion and usually agree with your view point.. But sometimes you take the cheerleading to far.. You're not even reading ACe's post before you get on the attack for Gettlemen. .

He is making valid points and I can understand some apprehension to fully follow everything any FO or team does..

I love Coach K and Duke but I don't agree with every choice he makes or game time decisions. . And he has 4 titles 1,000 + wins and more basketball knowledge on his toe nail than I do..

It's called being a fan..

Brown is still an unknown.  He really didn't play enough for us to know how he will do long-term.  I hope he is fine and continues to improve but I wouldnt bet the farm he will develop into a number 2 for us.  Anyone who has been around long enough have seen folks like Brown (Ryne Robinson, Joe Adams, etc.) to not get too overly excited.  Lets be real here, you keep bashing Bersin as if he is a top receiver on the team and that he will even make the roster this year.  Unless he seriously improves he will likely be a camp casualty.  And Cotchery was really an add on when our initial free agency plan blew up last year.  The guy he replaced is back with us in Ginn. The best think Cotchery gives us is veteran leadership and a good third down option when we send out 3 or 4 receivers and they double Olsen and KB.

The thing for me is not going after pricey mediocre talent instead of drafting someone like we did with Benjamin.  I would like to see another free agent WR signed next week and then draft another one in the first 3 rounds. But Crabtree and Shorts would not be my top choices.  One due to injury and the other price.   Then again what do I know, I am just a fan.....

Ace isn't making valid points. He pretty much never does. He's just pulling his usual whine and bitch fest.

I have no problem debating someone capable of an intellectual discussion, but that's not his forte.

The problem is WR need some serious talent at WR, I go at Bersin only because we don't have the talent to put him on the bench. I'm down for drafting a WR high, but you can't keep going after the same positions. There is nothing wrong with signing a guy like Nicks to come in and be your #2. Then you can look elsewhere in the draft. It's not Bersin's fault. Same way they talked up King and Mcnutt last year. The Victor Cruz story is great and all, but at some point you need to take risks.
