Fua Has Been Moved To O-line!

[Proudiddy]

I'm proud of all the progress Ron has made, but this is the stuff I'm talking about.  Ron has a soft spot for Fua which is why he is still here.  So, instead of cutting him and bringing in a REAL OL with experience playing it in college and/or the pros, we move Fua to OL so he can suck there?

 

Well, let's just hope he takes to it like Chandler, but I don't see that happening when he makes the shift mid-season.

Gettleman has made his fair share of mistakes since arriving here and the fact that we are even in this position is one of them. There is no amnesty period for making poor decisions. No honeymoon. If there is, then we will end up in the same boat-and, in case it wasn't apparent, my comment to mr. scot wasn't reference to an isolated incident.

 

lol i'm glad you have the foresight to point out his mistakes half of a season into his career. plug your ears so what's left of your brain doesn't keep draining out and wait for it to congeal. your unmitigated fury would be justified if fua were starting at guard on sunday, but the fact is he's emergency 3rd-string depth and will very likely be wearing sweats on the sideline.

In unrelated news, Cam Newton now refuses to play this weekend, claiming he feels threatened by his head coach and general manager.

Why is he still on the roster? If you can find a comment in this thread I made indicting Gettleman other than the response I just made to you, have at it.

 

 

Why. Is. He. Still. Here.

[Growl]

If he isn't good enough to play DT, and we're willing to concede that we need OL depth-Why is he still here?

 

There is a reason, and the evidence that it isn't strictly football related is mounting.

[Mr. Scot]

Gettleman could whip his dick out in front of the media, and Mr. Scot would be here trying to find some sort of rationale for it.

I have criticisms of Gettleman, but I'm a realist. And I know better than to just throw a tantrum because of some O-Line drills in practice.

idk, but it doesn't make your spittle-flecked responses any less maudlin for it

This

DG only real investments were toward a D geared toward his vision.

He ignored this O and opted not to upgrade some drastically weak areas. He had the ability to upgrade. He didn't.

If our season derails and it is clear it is merely the OL imploding us.....DG will have been responsible and put us back into another rebuild we could of avoided

[Kuech the Sneak]

He's on the roster right now people, accept it and move on. It's not like they came out and said he was starting, probably won't even get a jersey

This fan base, or at least those represented in this forum, has the strangest obsession with the bottom of the depth chart.

[TheRed]

there's a fine line between towing a company line because "they know better than us" and making criticisms without full knowledge of a situation. obviously there are cases where a front office makes terrible decisions and even fans can see it; there are also cases where fans gripe about a situation and then get a pass when they turn out to be wrong.

 

to that end, griping about hurney decisions had a little more oomph behind them because they were built upon a decade worth of awful football decisions made by a guy with zero background in anything but typing sports prose. gettleman, quite differently, has been battle-tested and found worthy of praise as a member of an esteemed football operation, and in his very limited time here he's inverted our cap doom and brought in players that have us vying for the division and being talking about as the sixth-favorite team with win the superbowl.

 

i'm not saying to close your mind and criticize nothing, but try tempering it in light of the above context.

 

We've won 5 games against teams with not only losing records, but a combined current win-loss total of 8-33.

 

Now look at the remainder of our schedule.

Look at the schedules of all the teams with the best records.

Exactly what are you implying?
