Give it up to Gettleman

[Sloth]

Yeah, the loss fuging sucks and the refs were horrible.

 

Anyways, wanted to make a post to recognize what a fuging turnaround Gettleman made here, especially considering the cap situation we had and the holes he had to fill just to give us a full roster.

 

Love this guy so far and hope this is just the beginning.

I agree.. Dave will make the right calls and build this team into an annual SB contender.. fans just need to be patient

That's the one bright side.  DG has proven to have the ability to find guys via the draft or free agency who can contribute beyond their cap number.  He's going to need to do that again if we are to have any chance to get back to the playoffs and choke again next year.

I trust Gentleman. He took overrated Eli to 2 Super Bowls. He'll take us there. He simply needs to cut off Hurney's cancerous contracts.

Hear, Hear!

Getts FTW, he'll make more quality off season choices this year as well.

Next step- winning season in 2014.

Gettlemen needs to address our O.....something he didn't this year.

And no, Hixon and Ginn aren't examples. Those were just depth ticky tack roster moves. Our roster was so weak....guys like Ginn became huge parts.

Glad he is our GM, now Im excited to see how he will proceed for this years Draft.

Gettleman is smart.  I'm sure he will look closely at all the players and make the right moves not made on emotions or playing favorites.  We made some offensive play calls today that did not make sense.  Cam played poorly the last three games.  Smitty's chances are slipping away and I feel sorry for him. He always gives 100%.

Offensive calls always look bad when not executed.... For example Wharton tackling Tolbert on the goaline.

They also frequently look bad when you have to traditional rush threat and Ted Ginn Jr and Brandon LaFell are your only WRs legitimately playing.

Talent in the NFL > coaching. Most coaches at this level are good enough if you have talent.

Cam looked like a juggernaut and great today......as everyone noted at halftime.

Then his one real WR was forced to run decoy routes with a bum knee.

Yep. I started to get angry near the end of the game before it hit me how far we went year one with stop-gaps and one defensive draft. Focus on offense this year, get Newton a #1 WR, get a complementary TE, and get someone to compete with Bell at RT. Add some talent at CB and we're looking really good.

 

Hate to be one and done, but I think we're going to be fun to watch going forward.
