Getty's presser today at the combine

45 minutes ago, Mr. Scot said:

Someone predicting that this is the year the Lion's finally turn the corner and become a great team is an annual media ritual. Usually coincides with a prediction that Matt Stafford is finally going to take the next step as a quarterback.

Expect the same thing this time next year.

Stafford's a solid QB under the right coaching. I would take him over most other "young" QBs.

Plus he talks about other things too. Video just over a minute, won't embed because BBR doesn't want it to play here.

Sounds like CJ may get future endeavored

Gettleman: We've won 22 out of 25 games with Remmers at RT. I'm not a knee-jerk guy

Kind of an odd stat to know off the top of his head, although they're actually 22 for 26 - lost to Minnesota and Seattle in 2014 (7 starts incl. playoffs), Atlanta and Denver in 2015 (19 starts incl. playoffs).

"It's certainly an exciting thing to imagine." - Gettleman on getting Funchess and Benjamin out there at same time.

I get hard over the idea of KB, Funchess and Olsen on the field at the same time.

No doubt he was ready for the question after what happened in the Super Bowl. You can give researched answers to predictable questions.

Is there anywhere where I can actually watch the full press conference?

Even winning teams still try to get better though. 

Don't worry too much.  Dave said pretty much exactly this.  He's not down on Remmers, but"of course you always try to improve every position."  Just didn't want everyone automatically assuming we will jump for a RT.

Here's the video at BBR of Dave talking informally following his formal presser:

From that article, here's Getts' exact quote re: Remmers...

Quote

"We feel fine," Gettleman said. "Here’s what I’ll say: We’ve won 22 of our last 25 games with Mike Remmers starting at right tackle. We’ve done that. And you know I’m not a knee-jerk guy – I’m not going to do it. I will not do it. I believe in our ability to evaluate our players."

"It’s like anything else. You always want to get better. I don’t know what position it is – you’re always going to look to get better," Gettleman said. "But he’s young in his career. Give the guy a chance. Don’t take one snapshot and then decide we need a right tackle."

And this re: Norwood:

Quote

5. HOUSEKEEPING ON KEVIN NORWOOD TRADE: Gettleman confirmed that the Panthers will send their seventh-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft to the Seahawks after acquiring wide receiver Kevin Norwood from Seattle in the preseason. Norwood played in just one game but was on the 53-man roster all season.

"We thought very highly of him in the draft, so our thought process was, for a seventh-round pick?" Gettleman said. "We feel like this guy is going to be a player. Who doesn’t want a player for a seventh-round pick?"
