Gman won't have ownership telling him to keep older players around because "family"

I suppose it was that meddling Jerry Richardson that forced him to give up a 4th rounder for a 35 year old punter?

Last year when he was playing out of his normal position, then?

Lost cause, dude.  Just surrender and make him happy.

You do realize that Rivera's football philosophy is run the ball, control the clock, and play field position, right?

Rivera struggles enough with the "run the ball" part, to absent the "field position" part on top of that would have been disastrous.  Good punters help you keep the field position advantage.  And Andy Lee was and still is one of the best at swapping the field.

And thanks for the laugh at the "old" punter joke, as if that even flippin' matters at that position.

Even if you can get on board with the trade, you would have to be a nincompoop to not be able to see these splash moves Gettleman has been making of late directly conflict with the bluster and bravado we've heard from him over the years about not being one player away yada yada.

This is the man that let our speed threat walk out the door for 700k. Yet here he is eagerly giving up multiple picks for overpaid LB's.

Time will tell how things play out for him in NYG, I think he's adequate enough that they should compete, but his continued splash moves are going to have cap ramifications down the line. You know how long we heard about how the Panthers were in "cap hell".

Again, he isn't overpaid yet.

And when he IS (possibly) overpaid, in 2020, he can be cut for significant cap savings.

There was no risk in this trade (outside of the typical risk of *any* trade, that is).

So basically blame Rivera?

Yawn.

I must have missed some "splash moves".  Trading a 4th for a former all-pro LB might be a splash move in some circles.  What other splash moves has he made?

And I'll never get past the argument that not re-signing Ginn was a mistake.  The man had so much trouble catching Cam Newton thrown balls we called him dick-fingers.

[Mr. Scot]

First Ogletree was a scrub; now he's a splash?

Oy...

I was referring to signing Norwell.

Are you seriously reduced to arguing semantics about the term splash?

Pitiful.

when did he sign Norwell?

If you're too lazy to even google, I don't know why you're attempting to throw yourself in the convo.

No. Just pointing out inconsistent arguments.

One guy says "bad move because he's a scrub".  Another goes "bad move because he's a splash". Which is it?
