It’s not like his numbers are really that much different from the past few years.  People though, or were hoping, something would be different.  I’m usually not a fan of overpaying free agents but I was hoping we would offer Whiteorth enough for him to consider us.

For those that want to point out Ramcyzk I would guess a lot of them would have picked Robinson.   

The worst part was that Whitworth got paid less with a shorter contract.

Whenever a list has Remmers ranked 5th at anything the list is s h i t.

Isn't it interesting how on the huddle Gettleman so effortlessly goes from being worshipped for his ruthlessness to just being a helpless JR puppet depending on the resulting ramifications from one of his moves.

Yeah, that is kind of what I mean. I believe the first part about him being ruthless because it seems to make more sense based on what former and current players seemed to indicate about him. That is why I don't buy into a sudden turn to doing what JR said. IMO, Gettleman just made an awful move. I think he didn't particularly value offensive linemen and that ended up biting him.

The list is some of the free agents from last year and some available players that could have been drafted.

they actually have him ranked at the #30 tackle.

He has been substantially better than Kalil. Although I do realize that is like comparing a sprinter's 40 time to a quadriplegic's 40 time.

I honestly think JR is why we signed him. I don't fault Gettleman much for the Kalil thing cuz I just have a feeling his hands were tied

Bullshit, so now all of a sudden gettleman is not responsible for his fug ups? 

This is why i take all the hurney bashing with a grain of salt.

Don't be naive. I've said that he screwed up and don't support him ever coming back. But it's a well known fact that Kalil is one of JR's guys

I never once said he wasn't responsible for his fug ups. If I did, please quote me so I can admit to it.  He messed up plenty

Yeah but do you honestly believe he caved on something like that but wouldn't on Olsen or TD's contracts? That doesn't seem likely. Now, is it possible JR was in favor of signing Matt? Sure. I just don't buy this theory that JR held that much sway over Gettlemen, which is probably part of the reason he was fired.

I could possibly begin to consider giving Gettleman a bit of a pass for Matt Kalil if he didn't also let Ted Ginn walk in favor of Charles Johnson and Russell Shepard after seeing how signing Tiquan Underwood worked out for us.

I don't know.. It doesn't really matter though. Gettleman is gone and not coming back. Hopefully hurney follows shortly and we move on to a better GM than both of rhem
