Meaning can Gettelmen be like those GM'S. Make the playoffs every year but still able to get players out of later round picks..

His last draft he got KB at 28th picked and was still able to get 4 starters and 1 contributor with later picks in each round..

Is he good enough as a talent evaluators to be a Ted Thompson Ozzie Newsome type??

In my opinion, GMs start to mess up when they make trades up and try to grab shiny talents. You see how well that worked out for RGIII and others.

It gets them behind, and in a hole, and causes lots of problems.

Teams like Green Bay, Baltimore, and Pittsburg very rarely blow their money on attractive free agents. In my opinion, a lot of those guys are just looking for money and now worried about putting up too many stats after they have been paid. I know they are still very young for life standards too, but most free agents are over 25 and it seems like 30 is a glass ceiling for a lot of players.

Hard to argue that he can't.

 

1) Has almost tamed the salary cap by not overpaying for free agents and letting other teams over-pay ours

 

2) Wisely traded Beason to let Luke become the defense's unquestioned MLB and leader

 

3) Has drafted 6 starters and 2 key back-ups with his 12 available picks, with greater success in his second year cuz our scouts were more knowledgable about what he wanted them to look for. Could be 7 starters if KK is starting, and Ealy will prolly be starting by mid-season next year 

 

4) has brought in more quality UDFAs than any of us had any right to expect

 

5) cut ties with Smitty, which let Cam be the unquestioned leader on offense and prolly did wonders for our young DBs confidence

 

6) cut vets so that Ron would be forced to play the rookies he drafted (pure speculation, but I could see Gettleman doing it)

      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.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      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.
