"There is a real interesting crop of defensive line, which doesn't upset me" Regarding the draft
 
"My philosophy of unrestricted free agency is you use it to setup the draft." 
 
"Both groups are strong (OL and WR)." 
 
"I'm not going to discuss what we are going to do with Byron. We are going to draft the best guy. If we have 5 studs at one position and the best guy is at that position, we are going to take him."
 
"We're slowly but surely digging out. We are at a better position now than last year"
 
"I spoke to Deangelo, we had a great conversation. Its private."
 
"Deangelo had a tough season, he lost his mom, dedicated the season to her and couldn't stay healthy."
 
"As far as the college kids are concerned, I haven't really gotten into the film yet" regarding left tackle draft prospects. 
 
He went on to say last season they liked a left tackle prospect early, but the prospect was chosen before the Panthers pick. That prospect went on to play left tackle, so Gettleman feels good about their process. 
 
"Right now Greg (Hardy) is on the exempt list, until that changes I have nothing to say."
 
"I've been around running backs... I don't see anything terrible with having 2 or 3 running backs at times." 
 
 
"Stah had the injury at the end of the year, and KK has really come along. KK played significant minutes last year. He came on and got stronger and stronger. Very pleased with those two young guys." 
 
"This game is too hahd.... who wants a ticking timebomb?" in regards to character issues in draft picks.
 
"I just don't start on the college kids until I leave here, this is my first taste."
 
"I love the interview process because its strictly football oriented. Its about football. We don't try to get in his head. We treat it just football, its a crazy idea. We did a couple haug mollies last night. We want to see what he knows and what he doesn't know, and what he can spit back to us"
 
"You gotta know how quickly you can get this guy on the field. If you can't get him on the field, then whats the point"

That's what I was thinking. Couldn't have realistically been looking at Lewan or Matthews. That's interesting that we liked James though, because people said it was a reach for the Dolphins to take him at 19, but it ended up being a good pick in hindsight. Shows that Gettleman really knows his talent evaluation.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
