Goodbye David Gettis

[TheRed]

I also laughed when Edwards was walk down by a Punter. When we were told how quick and elusive he was.

So a Panther makes a big positive play that puts our offense in excellent field position, and you make fun of him?

I think you should just stop right there and make your exit.

LOL when Gettis goes to New England and has 1,200yd & 8td...

Meanwhile in Carolina, AE snags 3 catches for 18yd

[rodeo]

At this point Jarret has more production then Edwards in the same time span.

 

Ouch. Damn.

 

Jarrett 35 catches vs. Edwards 5.

That could very well be the reason he was let go, but if it was me making the decisions, which I'm obviously not, then I would keep a talented guy with ability who has to learn the plays over a solid or not all that talented guy who already has it down.

Nakamura is an example of why the philosophy in favor of the latter fails in the face of the former.

 

Funny part about that is Martin was having a better TC by all observers and they just gave Naka the starting job.

Preseason 2013: Gettis - 11 catches for 164 yards > Edwards - 2 catches for 38 yards

 

Career: Gettis - 37 catches for 508 yards > Edwards - 5 catches 121 yards

That's just it. He had two years to learn the plays. And he didn't.

Gettis had as many catches this preseason as *insert name of guy who actually made the team* has made in his entire career. Like I said earlier in the thread, Ginn fills Gettis' role better than Gettis and I don't particularly care that he was cut. But I can definitely see why people would be upset that he was cut and others were kept.

 

It would be like cutting Cole and keeping Fua. Someone who has shown he can be a good player but has had injury trouble cut for someone who has not shown in any way that they can perform at the NFL level, but "well maybe in another year."

 

upset? understandable.

 

raging? lol too funny.

Yet despite not actually knowing the plays has been more productive than Edwards.

[fieryprophet]

Lets wait....lets say a few months then let's wait a few more. Then we can talk sweet heart. Gettis was on this team 3 years. Rivera 3rd season is coming up. But this is pointless.

 

Sweetheart? And if this is pointless, why mention it?

Right here example. I'm stating my opinion and people telling me to leave..

 

 

Also it showed a lack of talent that a player with no Angle was able to walk down a player who was billed as elusive and quick.

[rodeo]

upset? understandable.

 

raging? lol too funny.

 

Yeah comes with getting irrational emotional attachments to longshot back-ups. Barnidge Syndrome.

 

I say cut them both.

[VIP]

cant believe people give this much of a damn about David Gettis. Apparently it was blatantly obvious that AE is better and more versatile than him at this point. You know, the guys who watch them both play every day

[CRA]

< insert Boyz II Men song >

It's so hard, to say good bye...to 2010

Really simple, Ginn took the only role Gettis had a shot in. Don't need 2 for such small work.

[Proudiddy]

That's just not how this coaching staff works. Remember Legedu Naanee? Boy he sure did know the system.

Another awesome example Rodeo! Thank you. Thats why I don't get all these semi-celebratory posts about him getting cut, rubbing it in the face of people that were pulling for him.

There was a reason I didn't have a lot of confidence in Ron and Co. before this, and the long list of inept coach's pets are a huge reason. Let any other team in the league have Nakamura do what he did last season and at the very least he would be inactive if he was still on the roster. Naanee, Ajirotutu, Armanti, Bell, and possibly now Hixon. All guys who have either gained their spot or held onto it despite justified criticism due to favortism for whatever reason.
