My final prediction and takeaway from Gman's presser.. Shaq T will be the guy.

I watched every second of Gettleman's pre draft presser yesterday and in my mind, what I took away from it was..

A. He likes the WR group but not quite as much as last year and is willing to wait until day 2 to draft one.

B. I get the sense he really likes our O line as is and just his overall tone and how he talked about the O line group in this draft, he doesn't care for this crop of O lineman, hell he even said only a few he would even consider as true LTs and the rest are RTs (which we don't have urgent need for) what struck me is how defiantly Gettleman made a comment that "I know I got railed for not drafting a tackle last year but I stand my by choices, I'm not going to reach."

C. He views the majority of DEs as 3-4 guys, didn't seem too gung ho on this draft groups of DEs either.

D. Without using the word he basically said it was bullshiz the notion that "The RB position is no longer important." He seemed to really like this crop of RB prospects, if Gurley is there he will be the pick (I'm saying Shaq because Gurley is long gone.)

So using the process of elimination.. He doesn't like the OTs, he likes but not loves the WR group, he doesn't seem as excited about drafting a pass rusher like he has in year's past, yes Gurley will be the pick if he is there but that's not happening. We don't need a QB, not a DT, these corners this draft suck so scratch a CB off the list at 25. Plus the fact that Thomas Davis really REALLY likes Shaq Thompson (and his opinion does matter.)..

It's pretty obvious, Shaq T will be a Panther. I'm so sure I almost guarantee it infact.

Make a promise then.

If he isn't how about I take your thread starting ability away?

I have no idea how anyone who listened to that presser can have any real indication on which way Gettleman will go at #25.

 

The only things I really took from that presser were that we aren't taking any undersized pass rushers and if a guy has any hint of domestic violence issues, he's not even on our draft board.

I understand the sentiment, but please don't. haha. Shaq Thompson would be a great addition to this team. I'd be willing to put up with PU threads just to have Shaq Thompson.

besides... don't you already have plenty of reason to remove his thread starting ability? lol

      Didn’t watch today but….

      By strato · Posted

      I’ll get killed for this but he always sounded gay to me. Not necessarily not gay, but feminine.  I tried to say it in a more subtle way and still got killed for it last year. fug it I don’t care it’s an honest opinion. I didn’t let that disqualify him and have been very patient and non critical. I just wondered how the big tough guys in the locker room would respond to that.  But whatever, I think he thinks too much from the emotional side. The rah rah positive deal, what must it sound like if he gets mad? Where is the tough hard ass side? The no empathy, get the job done or get gone. I wonder about that. It mean I doubt there is a lot of fear of failure going on.    So anyway to other comments about he sucks and all that, I said I needed a better reason to change my stance on him, which has been give him time. Continuity is super important.  This thing with the running backs is eroding the goodwill.

      Please DM, do not see Dalton failing as BY doing well enough for a big contract

      Sure if you just blindly look at stats, you can pinpoint a couple areas that look similar. But come on man that's lazy analysis. Instead of throwing lower percentage throws, Dalton held onto the ball unconscionably long, leading to several of those sacks including that unthinkable one at the end of the first half, inflating his completion percentage. Bryce for all his flaws, does a pretty good job of escaping pressure and scrambling for 5 yards or throwing it away. Dalton's pocket presence was just so incredibly bad today, which led to both of his lost fumbles. If Bryce would just hold onto the ball and get sacked every 3rd play instead of throw it away or try a contested pass, his completion percentage would be 15 points higher than Dalton's today. And Bryce only had more yardage in 3 of 7 games? You mean when we played run heavy schemes in our wins, instead of Dalton being forced to throw all game cause we're getting blown out?  Look anyone is more than justified in arguing Bryce Young doesn't have the tools to lead this team to a super bowl. But he has been head and shoulders better this year than what Dalton showed today. That was just an abysmal perfomance.
