"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.

    • Velocity MPH. Okay, that’s a number in isolation. what if CJ has a nice 85% effort motion that does what he is looking for? And Young has to step into things to get even 2 mph behind him?  I don’t KNOW that about either it is just an example of numbers don’t always tell all, but when I look at Young throw it reminds me of someone like Fran Tarkenton. A throwback non athletic weak armed scrambler for those of you who don’t remember. Had a great career in the old smaller slower but much meaner NFL. Would not today, IMO.  I think the arm strength questions, are plenty fair. And the eyeball test, it does mean something. Who would take Bryce Young over CJ Stroud or Richardson based on his arm? It is obvious to the naked eye where they stack up.
    • Jarvis gets the first and the game winner!
    • Somehow win tonight and this series has a good chance to go 7 where anything can happen. will be an extremely tough test tonight though, probably the toughest game of the entire Rod era. Personally I'd go with Koochie but it'll prob be Freddie. Expecting a loss tonight so I don't get upset if it happens, but if we did somehow do the impossible and reverse sweep these fugers it'll be the happiest I've been about sports maybe ever (wasn't following the canes closely for our cup win otherwise that's obviously #1). Making the SB in '15 is up there right now but this could surpass that, especially if we can continue the run into the cup finals
