Why did Gettleman go away from the free agency plan that worked last year?

Last year, he seemed to primarily go for young guys with elite physical talent who just hadn't put it all toget her yet. This year? Old, over the hill retread who are just happy someone in the NFL is willing to cut them a check. We lost every bit of speed we had at WR and DB from last year. This has to be the slowest overall NFL team I've ever seen. This game is clearly highlighting our lack of team speed.

There will be a lot of cap-related responses but the fact that we signed these older and inconsistent types (Cason, Harper, DeCoud, etc.) with decent contracts is inexcusable.  DG carved out money and brought in crap through the FA this offseason.

He came in preaching improving the bottom of the roster and building from the inside out, but let the bottom drop out and ignored the oline.

This is my problem with Gettleman. He's not even practicing what he's preaching, and we're getting fuged in the trenches because of "my predecessor spent lots of money! Wah!"

Cry me a fuging river.

This thread will be littered with the usual canned "blame Hurney" responses.

Gettleman shouldn't be fired or any nonsense like that, but he definitely should be taking at least a little heat.

 

he should be taking a lot of heat. anyone who thought the players he brought in would form a competitive team was dreaming.

      We didn’t need a 50/50 ball receiver. We need guys who can create separation for Bryce to pinpoint the ball to at all levels of the defense. Tet may figure it out a few years from now but he will struggle to beat man coverage due to his lack of acceleration and what seems to be relatively slim frame.    The offense functioned much better with Theilen last season because of his ability to create separation from defenders. I don’t know why but that is Bryce’s go-to rather than a 50/50 ball which, in the NFL, is a throw you may make two times per game.    i wanted Tyle Warren because I feel he can end up being very much like Kelci and how he operates in space and how that chemistry between he and Mahomes doesn’t need a playbook. Then you’ve got Matthew Golden who is apparently burning everyone at Packers camp right now. He is very much like Antonio Brown.    We clearly made the pick we made so I should get over it. I think everyone is hoping for Mike Evans here but at best I think we may get a smaller DK Metcalf? Given what we know about his inability to break coverage at UA-Tuscon, it’s going to be even harder in THA LEAGUE.

      For those thinking Renfrow isn't making the team...Ha!

      By Zaximus · Posted

      With how WR starved we've been over the years I'll gladly take 7 on the roster.  There will no doubt be injuries so it gives flexibility and also makes it easier when someone needs to rest for a week for a nagging injury if someone else can step up.   The Renfrow story has been great.  Dude was on the couch dealing with some real stuff the last year and probably misses playing and is going all out.  And basically his hometown team, near his family, it's like a perfect storm.  We already knew he ran amazing routes and is a third down machine.  AT isn't going to be around forever but Renfrow could slide into that vet leadership role in the future.

      Deion Sanders health issues

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I hope Deion will be well now, he's been battling a lot of health issues, as do almost every person of his or our age. Even one of the greatest athletes of his time has had to battle with health issues and thankfully it seems like he's been on top of things. Learn from him and stay on top of things, especially after 40. You really, really aren't as young as you feel.
