Is anyone else frustrated?

[MBronson]

I get your frustration. But I also feel like some of these game changing players that you desire more than likely want more money/longer contracts than what DG is willing to give them. For example: Eric Berry or even Brandon Marshall. He has shown already he will not overpay a player for his services (josh norman). Unfortunately for you though, we're stuck with Gettleman for the duration. That is until we decide to light our heads on fire and clean house.
Gettleman hasnt proved anything to me. Personally, I think this is the offseason we judge most. Everyone saw what happened when we basically retained the same 15-1 Roster from the previous year and expected to easily run the table again. We got embarassed the entire season. No winning season this year means no DG next year. Too soon?

KB is good but limited, needs a complementary piece.

What physical tools? He's slow with bad hands. I don't care if he's 19 and he still sucks. We have to upgrade.

 

People have been telling me Funchess would prove me wrong since we drafted him and I said Diggs was better.

At the start of last year almost everyone had us winning 10 games or so, and making a playoff run. Then the wheels fell off. And man, are the natives restless.

 

IMO, this place very well could teeter on the verge of a total meltdown until the season actually starts. And boy howdy, if we don't win some games early in the season? This place may just go nuclear.

Yes, but only because I bought some scissors and now I need some scissors to open the package.

You must be new here.

There were a few of us level headed ones, trying to caution y'all about getting your hopes up, as we watched y'all drool and dream of every free agent that became available, and many who were rumored to, but would never happen. . . Y'all set yourselves up for severe  disappointment, thinking we were going to suddenly spend wildly.

Forgive us for seeing cap room and hearing false reports all along about being more aggressive etc. 

We have been a huge disappointment so far. Have more holes now than we did before free agency started.

i mean Bersin is currently our PR.

There is really not a great reason to pay big money for DB's because the draft options are so good this year. If you can get a decent to good option for a good price, sure. Otherwise, this is a good draft for DB's.

WR's are a little different but the FA market options are pretty weak as a whole. No reason to overpay for a guy that is pretty close to the backside of his career or make an inflated offer to a marginal player. It is probably more intelligent to build through the draft given the options available.

 

But, eventually you do have to address the needs or you end up signing a massive contract to an injury plagued OT that hasn't played well since about 2013. If you want to start with head scratching decisions, you can start there. Especially when there were better options available in the same price range(IMO and according to PFF ratings). That move was the one that made me question Gettleman seriously. I understand desperate and I know he loves to dumpster dive, but you don't pay Ruth Chris prices to dig through someone's garbage can in the hopes of finding a perfectly done fillet. You pay McDonald's prices to do that.

At the beginning of last season, everyone wondered how we were gonna get all our great receivers playing time, now, we have nothing.

What a difference a year makes

[kungfoodude]

I don't think our WR need is as dire as our OL need. We have Kelvin and Olsen as dependable targets(INB4 BENJAMIN SUCKS HE REGRESSED) the rest are pretty ho-hum but we can plug in some draft pieces and dumpster dive for some depth. The biggest thing is keeping Cam upright long enough to be able to get these guys the ball or the OL giving enough time for them to get open.

I understand being upset because we had a losing season, but do we need to exaggerate so much on how "bad" Funchess is?

Ted Ginn he is not but he isn't slow, and bad hands? Seriously?

Dude was open all year. His issue was that KB and Olsen were the first two looks, and then Cam either already threw the ball, or got buried by a"legal" helmet to helmet.

Besides, Cam already proved that if you give him some time to throw, it doesn't matter who the receivers are (2015). It's all going to be ok.




And fug Diggs, dude was a tease in fantasy after a hot start. Product of a dink and dunk offense. Seriously, I do like him though, but even Diggs would have struggled here last year. Our whole team basically lost a year.

KB didn't regress but he's still not a #1.   His rookie year was filled with garbage time stats and last year the guy was soft and made mental mistakes all season.   I don't blame KB, he's what he was in college and what all the scouts knew, a big guy who uses his size in the wrong way that sometimes uses it the right way and makes some nice mismatch catches.  He's just not a #1 and isn't the target Cam desperately needs.   Ironically after never having a true #2 for Smith all those years we now have a couple great #2's but no #1.     Funchess is also what he was in college, a TE playing WR.    Except I doubt he can block.

Look, I'm not sure who we should have signed, if anyone, but this "get them in the draft" argument is silly because this TEAM, under any GM, has never developed a WR into a true #1.    Smith was lightning in a bottle and past that, nothing.    DG also hasn't been good at running back choices either.     There are still some WR's out there that could help us though, just not top tier ones.    Patterson would be great here for return and to open up the field, for instance.   So let's just chill out for a bit and see what happens.

If anything, I'd rather have a TRUE #2 TE to pair with Olsen out there.
