Marques Colston is a better comparison

Rivera isn't that high on him, because he struggled a bit in camp.

WTF??? Where do some of you come up with this poo?

DAVID GETTIS UPDATE AFTER EVENING PRACTICE: Unfortunately, David had the MRI, and it looks like he tore the ACL. They are going to go ahead and finish up the evaluation process in about a week once the swelling is all gone and everything like that, so we'll go from there.

On how disappointing it is to lose Gettis, who ranked second on the Panthers with 508 yards receiving on 37 catches as a rookie last season: It's disappointing because the young man really showed. He had a good last few days. He's got a bright future. Whatever it entails, he'll get it right and we'll have him ready to go when he's ready.

On how the injury occurred: It was down in the red zone. He was releasing and he got jammed, and his foot caught and slipped in a bad direction. So it was disappointing. The young man, like I said, was having a really good camp.

Gettis has not been in Rivera's doghouse, unless that is what you call IR. In fact, IIRC, Gettis was listed #2 on the depth chart all the way up until his injury.

sometimes its just fun to make up stuff and base it as fact so that the stupid people believe you.

Also, from what I call Gettis was the one making most of the big time catches until Lafell seemed to get it together at the end of the season in 2010, he was also much more consistent than Lafell.

This thread is pickles.

Is it just me or did some of us forget that Gettis can actually catch.

Drew Carter had the weakest hands since Armanti.

hopefully he can get back to full speed, and some seem to forget that Gettis was struggling in in TC that is why LA was brought in to compete and push him and Lafell.

It's not that he was struggling. He wasn't on the field because of a hammy injury.

I always envision Gettis making a Victor Cruz like impact.

he was struggling as well(playbook). plus when speed is your thing, coming off an acl injury is not good in and out of breaks.

Gettis was performing well in camp and Rivera wasn't happy with Lafell at first. Lafell made great improvement with has hands as the season went on and worked his way into the lineup. We will see how Gettis performs next year.

With injuries yes. And look how this year turned out to be injury wise

So....
