I sense a lot of doubt

Hurney obviously deserved to be fired, largely for his terrible drafting outside the first round.

Gettleman inherited some damn fine pieces roster wise though. Cam, Luke, CJ, Hardy, Kalil, Olsen, Davis.

Every year it's the same thing, I've done it myself, we sit here and complain about the previous season and doom the next. We don't know what will happen. It's okay to express your displeasure with the previous season. But my God let all the offseason (ie: draft and fee agency) happen before we call the next season a Bust. C'mon man!

Again I not saying DG is a bad gm. I am just saying let's give him more than a year before we bow down to him. Most in the NFL will tell you one year may not necessarily carry over to the next. So what worked magically for him last year may not work as well this year.

Nobody's bowing down to him.

 

What we are saying is essentially four things...

 

- Late March / early April is way too soon for panic, doom and gloom, regardless of who the GM is. 

 

- Gettleman did a good job last year, so he's earned the benefit of a doubt going into this season. 

 

- There are limitations and constraints placed on him because of Hurney's mismanagement that he'll have to fight through

 

- Until the bad contracts written by Hurney are off the books, you can't put all the blame for anything on Gettleman

 

Bottom Line: Free agency will be continuing for a few months yet and we haven't even gotten close to the draft.  There's still plenty of offseason left.  For that reason alone, the people screaming and throwing tantrums about the state of the roster right now are being utterly ridiculous.

 

No 'bowing down to Gettleman'.  it's just a matter of being at least a halfway rational adult.

I didn't say you were. But some have given all credit to DG. If you are looking for rational discussion on a message board you just might be out of luck!

Definitely have been this offseason :(

I am really curious to see what he does in the draft. Cam has been the least built around #1 pick that I can remember

Good points, OP, but do you know where I can find cheap and high quality jerseys?

I haven't seen so many people blindly follow one man since Jim Jones

I'm neither for or against Obama, but he's had obstacles Gettleman wouldn't find in his worst nightmares.

The same can be argued for all who become US Prez, no?

Blindly follow? Maybe I'm mistaken but i think DG had a fairly impressive draft last year...
