4 Million Dollars Per Year

The difference in what we reportedly offered and what Josh ended up getting paid.  A lot of ya'll get pissed off at me for my "I told you so"'s, but for as much poo as I took during the whole Norman debacle, I got to give it back.  So, here it is...  I TOLD YOU.  The system didn't make Josh.  He was worth the money, and I said we would regret it.  I said Gettleman far too often appeared to get caught up in emotions and personal ego battles, and that in Josh's case, that appeared to rear its ugly head again.  

I was lambasted for not toeing the company line and not blindly accepting every single move Gettleman made as the right one.  Now you see why I don't?  Just because they are professionals doesn't make them perfect or infallible.  Those same people who were mad at me for angrily speaking out about how the situation was handled were the same ones who hung onto and swore by Gettleman's every word.  He said he doesn't panic.  He said he doesn't draft for need.  

BUT, He was anxious about KK leaving so he drafted ANOTHER FIRST ROUND DT, then he knew we had nothing behind Norman so he drafted Bradberry and then proceeded to waste three more picks (one included in a trade for Worley) on a couple of bums at CB in a desperate effort to replace Norman, one of which didn't even make the team and the other shouldn't be on the team.  That's four picks used to compensate for the loss of Norman and only one of them looks like a viable NFL prospect (Bradberry).  Oh, and if you didn't catch that, he wasn't exactly honest in his statements of not drafting for need or not panicking.  But hey, at least he got to swang some dick around in the media about what a badass he is.

"You know, they were willing to give Josh that kind of a deal. God bless them. For us, it was a matter of resource allocation. Everybody has to make decisions for their club.”

"What happens is you end up paying for other people's decisions," Gettleman said. "When I say paying, I'm not talking about a dollar amount."

"I'd like to think agents have figured out they can't scare me; they can't squeeze me. I'm not going to panic. I'm not going to give money away. It's a waste of time," Gettleman said. "But if that's the attack they want to take, that's their business. I'm too old. I've been around too long to be scared."

"I've seen too many mistakes made because people were afraid and people panicked."

Sounds like we have a regular damn Scarface on our hands here...

So here we are company yes men...  The boss isn't always right.  Now all we can do is sit back and enjoy the shitshow.  I don't remember ever seeing our secondary ever look so bad in the history of our franchise.  It's embarrassing.  So, in summary...  We are sitting here today, following a 15-1 season, an NFC Championship, a Superbowl run, at 1-3, with our FRANCHISE QB injured after getting the poo beat out of him for 4 weeks, KK Short unsigned, those "resources" we saved by not signing Josh to what he deserved still unallocated in any meaningful way, and a secondary that likely would be cut from arena league teams.

If you were set on keeping that money, you should've at least invested it in protecting our QB, shoring up the secondary with actual NFL-level talent, or any other number of things that weren't the lateral moves that you made in their stead.

FOUR MILLION DOLLARS.  Gettleman...

Dude it's not like people even felt the need to give him a longterm contract

 

he was already on the roster for this season. all we had to do was let him play out the year while Bradberry actually got a chance to learn the position.

 

He is not here because Gettleman wanted to send a message. Its literally nothing beyond that.

Not saying josh wouldn't perform at a high level.  But we have ZERO pass rush in the first half. Matt had all damn day to throw it was embarrassing.

they've been eating us up with the slant the entire second half

True, trust me I know we would be better with josh this year. But the pass rush needs to improve for us to have a chance going forward.

we are seriously a horrible team right now

please tell us how le'raven clark and shon coleman are doing at OT this year. is germain ifedi even playing OT? how is emmanuel ogbah doing right now? how about kendall fuller and xavien howard?

what were the right picks this year? should we have drafted hunter henry who singlehandedly ended the game for the chargers last week?

we traded up for worley, not bradberry. get over yourself with the i told you so's. it would be good to have josh right now but you're basically saying lets trade out one bad year this year instead of one bad year next year. we're making talent choices every year that will impact the next. josh gets the redskin's contract here, we lose talent next year and we're wishing we could keep them all again.

congrats on hanging your hat on this blowout game. we've been in a position to be 3-0 coming into today. we didn't execute on the field. cam is playing slow and the league has basically made it clear that hitting him in the head will be allowed. now the headshots will be coming all year and our players are reined in be the 2 penalty ejection rule.

An "I told you so" thread from a freaking moderator?  Good grief....Igo needs a minimum age limit older than 12 to be a mod in this joint.  

This guy does this poo all the time. He also loves petty pissing matches with anyone who will oblige. I stopped reading his posts months ago.

      Jalen Ramsey

      By frankw · Posted

      On the surface all variables to be considered aside obviously I would love to have him. Situationally though this compares to when we acquired Stephon Gilmore. Ramsey will be 31 this fall and Gilmore was 31 when we acquired him. Ultimately it was a moot point because we weren't ready to compete for anything of note and Gilmore went elsewhere. Ultimately I see this playing out the same. As such I cannot envision any scenario where he does not go to a legit playoff contender.

      Below average? Seriously?? That is wild AF My man we ain't watching the same game... And I'm hard-pressed to believe you're watching the same film coaches are either if that is the take you honestly believe... I've been to almost every home game at BOA over the past 20 years... I've seen a lot of bad QB play over the past 7 years. Anybody that wasn't truly impressed by what Bryce did what the cast-offs he had to work with at the end of last year is delusional. His top 3 weapons were a 34 undrafted guy, a 7th round journeyman, and an UDFA rookie... seriously, what are we doing here??!! Some of these takes are beyond outlandish... You admitted yourself you're comparing Bryce to a guy you didn't even watch but are cherry picking stats for... So go back to your eyeballs and make it simple... how much NFL football have you watched my man?? Bc to me and my eyeball test, Bryce blew it out of the effing water down the stretch. What QBs are you watching playing so much better than him that you feel confident in saying "below average?" If you watched that and came away with anything else, we ain't watching the same thing... But beyond the eyeball test, every advanced metric in the book backs it up also... so again, what are you seeing that no one else is?? You think just anybody is going out there and dueling with Mahomes & Hurts with an almost comical inferior supporting cast and doing that? Whatever, to each their own, but it is wild to pull for a team where so many people feel compelled to crap on your QB after he just pulled maybe the greatest in-season turn around in league history and was playing by any eyeball test (for anyone that has watched an appreciable amount of NFL football) or even the advanced metrics for that matter.
