David Gettis? He was better than Lafell his rookie season and we get him back this year. He could be a solid player for years to come.

Just.. figured.. the forum could.. use a happy.. thread.. since well.. you know.. all the others suck.

It will be nice to have him in the mix but he and Lafell were very close in production in a situation where defenses really didn't have to be concerned about the pass at all. In a more complex and featured passing game we will see how he stacks up.

I like Gettis and hope he becomes a baller at WR, but his biggest game as a rookie where he accumulated half of his stats came against SF (which had probably the worst secondary in the league two years ago), and had Matt Moore throwing to him, not Jimmy Clausen. So you can't really use the "he was awesome even with Jimmy throwing him the ball" argument, because he was wildly mediocre the rest of the games.

ahh i dont wanna be a troll, in all seriousness gettis is what 6'4"? i sure hope he explodes this year cause we could def use a big wr to fit our offense... and we all know Cam makes everyone around him better, so heres to hoping he becomes another big playmaker for us

    • Funny, because I think it's monumentally stupid to go in as a WR and not CB for him for two main reasons. First is that he's very slender, he has a much better chance at having a longer career as a CB than a WR because of that, and if he can't stay healthy as a WR, he's never going to get the huge contracts and play 10 years in the league like he could on the other side of the ball. The second and more important, is that CB is so much more difficult of a position to play at an elite level, you can't keep dipping your toe in and out of the water on that end and expect to be great. So if he's a full time WR, it will be really hard for him to play any CB part time and be successful at it and make it worth their while to let him to continue doing.  But if he's a full time CB, it's much easier for them to have a few select packages on offense to where he gets maybe 10 snaps a game, half as a decoy, half getting the ball in creative ways to get him space to work in and make a big play here or there. Because also if that works while being an all pro caliber CB, he'll get paid so much more than any CB due to what else he offers, which then would probably rival top WR money, but have the chance at a much longer career while doing so. He's also just a better CB than he is WR, so why go full time at your weaker position that is easier to do part time and still have success?
    • Why sign him for him to play 2-3 games before another trip to IR  
    • This game would be 4-1 at worst with Freddie
