Historically we have one of the smallest in the league. I know gettleman mad a switch but I think we need a larger staff period.

Approx 20 teams at UW Pro Day including: HOU, JAX, OAK, CLE, KC, NYJ, DEN, NO, ATL, WA, PHI, TB, NYG, SD, DAL, PIT, AZ and of course SEA.

Things like this I dont understand and this is just on example. Everyone in our conference is at uw pro day but we aren't? I dont know if its a lack of personnel or what. I know we had guys at like Fresno state's pro day but come on. I don't see us working out alot of guy or at many prodays. What's the deal?

We have no lack of scouting staff. Just look at the staff and compare it to other teams. Where did this misconception come from?

Cos he wants us to be present at every school's pro-day is what I can gather. You know, our name should be listed as one of those teams that attended...

I do wish we had more, but I'd open up pro scouting. Two guys and a director isn't enough - I'd give 4 guys - and three would concentrate, to a point, year round on the division, helping out the other games as well but staying where each had a specialty interdivisionally.  I also wish there was more of a sabermetric presence outside Rodgers/Beane, who were both supposedly involved (which concerns me that it might be only for the finance side). 

 

That said I don't care about whether the team name shows up at stuff like this anymore than I care whether we've worked someone out or talked to them at combine.  They scout everyone.

    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season? 
    • Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in. 
    • JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
