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

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
