What's taking Gettis so long?

[tukafan21]

Now I don't know if his injury was more severe than TD's, but how in the world does the guy coming off his 3rd ACL tear, many years older, and what, 2 months less time since the injury, get back on the field before Gettis?

It's just frustrating to me because I really thought he'd not only be our #2 this year, but take over for Smitty as our #1 outside WR at some point during the season to allow Smitty to move inside and wreak havoc like Welker does against nickle backs.

His size and speed combination would be absolutely killer with Cam throwing him the ball, I really see him as a faster version of Colston

[Guest Bwood]

He pulled a hammy so I think they just wanna make sure he doesn't get injured whatsoever.

He needs to be practicing right now though or Murphy/Tutu will take his spot.

[PantherPhann89]

Interesting concept...I'm not sure if it's injury or skills/grasp of the playbook.

[Smithers]

Players at different positions come back at different speeds...A WR changes directions and cuts much more frequently and suddenly than a linebacker

Rule #15 appendix A paragraph III... You can't rush greatness

it will all work out in time.

[Pantherman]

The guy is on PUP right now because he pulled his hamstring. He will be back soon enough. No need to rush the guy back right now.

[PhillyB]

not worried. worst case Murphy takes his place.

[megadeth078]

You should get informed before you rage. He's suffering from a different injury right now. It's no big deal. They're just being cautious.

tall, fast, made a couple nice catches and dropped some easy passes, and people swear gettis is the fuging man around here....

[beastson]

I'm worried. I said months ago, wtf is up with all the leg issues

yeah, optimism sucks. noticing potential is the first step towards disappointment.

[brandon_87]

yeah, optimism sucks.

no, homer-ism sucks, we have been so desperate for a second WR for so long, anybody that lines up opposite no.89 our fans think he is heir to the throne, when in reality, they couldn't make any other team but ours...Adams might have a chance as a slot guy, but Gettis, Pilares and Edwards shouldn't be more then practice squad players

You're right. Your "This guy sucks, that guy sucks. You're all stupid." mentality is so much less annoying.
