While we continue to suck, and make no moves. Packers suck, and trade for Knile Davis.

I don't see it as panicked because the draft wasn't only about this one season.

Per his own statements, Gettleman was tired of patchworking the secondary and wanted to try and  build a unit for the future.

They expected early struggles, but mistakenly thought the pass rush would be good enough to mitigate that while they were learning. So far, it hasn't, but the rookies are legitimately improving when they're healthy.

The notion that this draft is somehow awful because the rookies aren't pro ready from week one is both silly and short-sighted.

We escaped last year with weak DE play because of a good units everywhere else...that included having a vet secondary featuring an All Pro DB. 

So I simply never have bought into this defense of Gettlemen's draft. 

pretty sure no one argues rookies aren't expected to be pro ready...that is just a  Gettlemen defense.  Going into this season, I expected our secondary to be awful and our DE to stick out as not good enough (that is a reciprocal relationship). Most people believed that....and I disagree with heading into a season with that off a Super Bowl year.

Yeah, I don't get how anyone genuinely thought, much less Gettleman, that the pressure of the line was somehow going to make a couple of rookies---possibly even three---good enough to sustain success in a division with Jones, Evans, and all of Brees' men. When you look back on it, it was asking for trouble, especially when there were valid questions as to whether our ends would even create the desired pressure even if we had some quality vets in the secondary. It was a gamble to say the least. 

I just don't like the results (then and now) of the past draft because I believe we  reached and paid a premium on players we could have gotten at a spot more in line with their perceived value. By doing it Dave's way, we lost out on a player or two that really could have helped us this season.

This is from the same guy that trades his best fantasy player because he had a bad week.

I hate trading fantasy players.  Unless it's a can't miss trade, I never trade fantasy players.  Too many injuries happen over the course of a season to trade away great players.

Yeah, Morgan Moses is actually really solid.  

i don't care about that because he was fuging useless 2 years ago and everybody was clamoring about how he would've helped us then when he really couldn't, because if only Gettleman does this or that. The same debate is going on now with Knile Davis except Davis doesn't even have an upside.

      Ekwonu doesn’t get dog walked under 2 minutes in the 4th, we drive, kick a FG and win

      How do you expect him to step up in the pocket when Ickey is being pushed to the spot you want him to be. Stills don’t tell the entire picture.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
