It has happened! Gettleman has tamed the Huddle beast!

[Jangler]

I'm so glad I don't get all caught up in it. Gettleman gonna gettle and Huddle gonna huddle.

Many may disagree, as they clutch to the Huddle's old ways out of some perverse homage to the contention of yesteryears' draft seasons,  but I do believe that Dave Gettleman's approach to drafting has finally taken the "fight" out of the Huddle in regards to arguing over prospects.  Gettledaddy's word is his bond,  and law of the land.  Why fuss and fight when Getty basically tells you to sit down and shut up? 

Don't  get me wrong,  there are still the players that are major points of contention,  and we do have our little skirmishes here and there,  but they seem to be markedly less frequent,  pretentious, and downright ugly. 

I guess what looks to be the relative beginning of sustained success, authored in large part by Gettleman, makes _{^{fans listen more and speak less}}. Moreover,  when you have arguably 10 to 12 players who could start on other teams out of three drafts,  that's a pretty good indicator that it's time to trust the GM.  And then,  lastly,  you may just realize that arguing over these late first round picks (which you may as well get accustomed to having) is even more silly because it is much harder for you as a layman to judge anything other than those consensus,  top prospects at their positions. And we've all heard the saying that a late first is a glorified second anyway.

Now before someone gets all warm and fuzzy and fools them self into thinking that it's all sweet,  warm potions and pixie dust,  I am just referring to pre-draft mania.  Who knows what will ensue after the picks are in? But I dare say that the Huddle has succumbed to the calming effect of Gettlemagic, much like a snake charmer subdues a Cobra. This draft season (and free agent period, really) has been comparatively enjoyable. 

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

I think it has more to do with where we're picking in the draft this year than anything. Top half of the draft, you have your pick of the litter essentially, and you can fall in love with a prospect more easily. Pick 30, you get what you get. I think people just kind of realize that the best prospects will be off the board by the time we pick, and then it's up to the Don to decide who has the highest ceiling of those that remain.

Reading the Luke draft thread was entertaining.

I did say that i was speaking to pre-draft mania only.  All bets are off one the picks are in.

Not so fast my friend.  We shall see.  Depending on the pick at #30, there's a good chance at least a few posters go full retard.

dude, you never go full...but I ain't heard no one say never go about 90%

He spends that first on a RB and you know what imma gon say

[davos]

I mean let's be real, Derrick Henry is the prospect of controversy this year and this place will be cray if we pick him R1.

Wait until the first loss of the season mate, you'll get all the fights you can handle.

Nothing like a loss to bring out the true nature of the Huddle, God forbid it's Week 1 this place will be filled with "we're not going to the SuperBowl threads"....

[TheWiz]

It's a ruse guys... nothing here is tamed. I fully expect us to proceed with the annual meltdown.

[motocross_cat]

Instead of cry about a pick, ill just cheer for them.

well if Henry is there at 30 someone is going to flip out:

we pass on him- random huddler x calls our Jeremy, not realizing that the player drafted probably was higher on our big board and that doesn't exclude us from having a 1st round grade on Henry

we draft him- random huddler y laments the pick

those cobras have had their venom sacks removed.

 

come to think of it, that further validates your point on the effect Getts has had on the hyperbole and vitriol as of late.
