  1. 1. Should Gettleman be fired?



Recommended Posts

I say fire him. The Steve Smith decision showed Gettleman isn't professional. You can have asshats on the football field but in the front office you need businessmen who put the team above their own egos.

What wasn't professional about it? If anything it shows he is willing to make tough decisions.

I would prefer that then overpaying players.

By Steve account, the decision wasn't tough at all for Dave. It was a pretty easy and clear see ya later

 

Voth detailed that Smith was taken to the Principal's Office several times last year and told, among other things, to stop being hard on his teammates,  His response was basically "I'm Steve Smith and I do what I want."

 

Had he produced better numbers last year, that might have been worth putting up with.  He didn't, so it wasn't.

That's cool that Bill said that. I need to hear words to come out of the horses mouth however to believe it. Steve said what he said, Dave hasn't cause he wanted to let his decisions talk for itself, which it hasn't

 

But that reason, being too hard on team mates is interesting. If true, I can see clearly why this team is sitting at a shameful 3 wins

I think by being "hard" on teammates....implies quit being a pointless pain in people's ass and driving everyone nuts. Counterproductive type behavior

I don't think 89 was constructively hard on people. I think he made bad....worse

Steve Smith was also on record, saying he would not help a young WR that could end up taking his job.When you are an asshole,what goes around often comes around.

Whatever it does or doesn't imply, we won more games with him than without him and that's all that matters. Its cause nobody pushes anybody on this team especially scarecrow Rivera

Do you honestly believe we would have won more this season with him?  I'm not arguing either way, because I don't care either way, but I don't see him making much of a difference this season... considering the mess as a whole.

Smith being some sort of inspirational leader is as big a myth as the idea that he's have produced big numbers this season with us.

 

Smitty this season played hard until after he played us, then his production dropped off.  It picked up again for one game - the Saints, a team he hates - and then last week he was good for all of one catch for two yards.

 

He was coasting through his final years here, and everyone knew it.  That made him no longer worth the headache.

Yes in fact I do, if not more games the offense would atleast be better. When Lafell made his comments about Pats practice harder, the huddle laughed and brushed him and you see its obviously true by games performances. Jeremy in training camp talk about the team lackadaisical attitude and that's cause nobody pushes anybody to be better especially the head coach. Steve shouldn't have to be hard on players, thats something Rivera should be doing.

Was 89 making guys better? Our front office didn't think so.

But I do agree, I don't think we have the right leasership. Coaching or talent. I don't 89 was ever that guy though

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
