"Since then, we – both media and fans – have taken that line and run with it. What we too quickly forgot was Gettleman’s next line: “I said we’re going to move up in class. I didn’t say we’re going to go out and spend big money on a player.”

So, everybody sit back and relax.

I was as critical of Gettleman as anyone last offseason and I don't see a big problem here. Last year cap space forced us to let loose many of our key players and replace them with rookies and scrubs - this year, we have all of our free agents of value back and we have fewer holes thanks to an impressive rookie class. We are improving.

Right now, we're waiting for the initial insanity of free agency to wear off so we don't overpay on players. We'll go for some mid-level free agents, we won't overpay, and we'll have a better team than last year while everyone else in our division is backsliding. There is no need for cliff-jumping.

I don't know why all these fans think a superb owl is won in free agency anyway. You use free agency for fill gaps and use the draft to build your team. I'm glad we don't go out and hand QB money to DT's.

 

Gettleman knows what the f*ck he is doing. After back to back beasty drafts and back to back NFC South titles, you would think people would STFU about Gettleman.

I have no problem with the level of players he's targeting. Oher and Ginn are exactly the sort I'd want him bringing in. Not too many of these FAs this year are going to be worth what they're getting. Last year one of the few I thought were worth what they got was out of our price range, but you have to believe we'd go for him if last year were this year-Veldaheer. This year, the only thing Gettleman is doing that's pissing me off is not giving Hardy a chance. I would understand if the market for him is just too high, but to not even talk about it is beyond ludicrous.

Yes, Ted "Unreliable hands and punt returner" Ginn, Jr. and Brenton Bersin are "moving up in class."

 

Michael Oher is better than Bell, but is he better than anyone else on the line at this point?

 

Cliff-jumping? Statements of fact are statements of fact.

We need to spend all of our money!  We needs all da FAz?!!!!

 

We haz n0 F@Z so we de worste!

 

Sorry, most of the negative folks have broken my language centers in my brain.  It's a long off season which just started.  I'll put my trust in Dave because since he's gotten here, we've gotten better.  Tell me, in Seattle's SB season, how many marque FAs did they bring in?  Bennett?  And he came super cheap I believe.

 

Trust in Dave since we're not NFL decision makers.

    • Bryce just didn't maximize Hunter Renfrow's skills. ***rant incoming*** But this isn't just about Bryce Young mistiming passes to Renfrow so bad that he's going to get Renfrow killed or hurt, this is also about incompetentence by Dave Canales. Renfrow can still play. He's putting DBs in a blender out there---making them play twister at the top of routes to keep up with him, and dumb Dave has the nerve to cut him. How about putting Hunter in the best position to help the damned offense by appreciating his skill set, DC? You're letting Bryce's apparent inability to make an accurate throw, or at least his timidity to push the ball down the damned field cloud your judgment and miscalculate talent---or maybe just miss on talent just as much as Bryce misses passes due to playing pussified football. It's fúcking unacceptable.  Speaking of misjudgment, I don't know if it's Dan Morgan or Canales, but Eijiro Evero is not the business at DC. I have said a few times that his scheme is not conducive to run-stopping efficiency. Hell, and after watching some clips of plays, now I absolutely know why. The gaps are at least half open before the play even fúcking starts. You are setting the opposition's RBs up for success with too much damned space at the line and in the second level. If our guys are taken out in these areas---at the line and in the second level---then the defense is screwed because it must rely on the safeties to cover too much ground to make the tackle. At least put Ransom in who is motivated to seek and destroy if you're going to effectively leave the safeties on an island.  And speaking of rookies, get our two new defensive ends more snaps to see if we can't generate more of a pass rush. For all the good the continued sorry display of defense that you're putting out for fan's to see (Ejiro, Dave and Dan), you may as well get the rookies generously involved. Fúck that money we gave second-rate (maybe second-rate) vets, we need a damned spark getting after the QB. Watch it, it's just another breakdown of the sh¡t we were subjected to last week. I say this with all respect: Fúck you, Dave! Fúck you, Dan! Learn how to run a fúcking franchise. Maximize the players, regardless of what you think you're supposed to do by the book. Cut the dead weight before another season is lost and fans lose interest in September. EE is "Ew!" Or for emphasis "EEw!" /end rant
    • But nobody is saying he is a good deep ball passer.  But the facts are since he's returned from his benching, he has been throwing downfield.  Whether you want to credit the scheme, Bryce himself, or whatever, he has been pushing it deep.  Not to any positive results mind you, but it has been happening.
