Prove you're worth it

[Mr. Scot]

A bit of Gettleman philosophy learned from the great Bill Walsh, screenshotted by Voth on his Twitter...

Helps to understand why he prefers 1-2 year deals for free agents.  Basically, it's 'prove you're worthy of staying longer'.

On the flipside, it displays patience with draft picks.  Nobody's gonna be kicked out the door for one bad play or one bad game.

Makes sense

Does that mean we can get rid of hill?

Earning something before you get it? That's weird, you're weird.

That's the voice of experience right there.  We trolled the NFL getting Gettleman as our GM.  The Giants fell apart after he left.

The nature of free agent deals is such that you're being paid for how good you've been somewhere else with the assumption that you're going to be good here too.

I think Gettleman wants to know you'll be good here first.
