Tried out last week but signed just now

 

Correct.

 

Here's the link to their source story (Tampa Bay Times)

 

I had forgotten that Gettis was teammates with RG3 and Josh Gordon, which consequently means I had forgotten that RG3 and Gordon were teammates :unsure:

 

Had also forgotten that Gettis joins another former (temporary) Panther on the Tampa receiving corps, specifically Louis Murphy.

We may find out something about our organization, good or bad with this one.

 

Naw, he might be ok but he's not gonna blast off or anything man. The dude doesnt have great coordination, thats the bottom line. Great athlete, great guy it seems, but serviceable in the 1 or 2 he will never be.

That's not what I meant really.  I just meant if he does well, we still need to work on our evaluation techniques but if he flounders we can feel more confident in the front office.

 

Either way, I wish him luck.

Per the story, the top three receiver spots on their roster are likely set (Vincent Jackson, Mike Evans, Robert Herron) and there are already nine other guys competing for the remaining two or three jobs.  Obviously, some of those guys were on the Bucs roster last season, but even those who weren't have a head start on Gettis because he's signing relatively late in the process. 

 

Honestly, I wouldn't bet on him even making the team.

I dont get what you mean about evaluation then. He had a shot, did ok as a 3 and then got injured. Then he got another shot and we were on board but he got injured again. He was going to make the team last year. I dont think evaluation was a problem.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
