Tre Boston Has Been Waived

What makes Boston good depth?  When given the opportunity to play, we had to sign Michael Griffin fresh off the couch to immediately play and take snaps away from Tre.  In the NFL, more games are lost than won.

Truth to this.  I'm not really arguing for Tre.  Maybe I'm just nervous about Mike Adams age...  I know he's been healthy and durable.  But we had enough position disasters last year that I'd been wanting some experienced backup at safety as insurance.

But yeah, better a more-talented guy with little experience than a bad veteran, I guess.

A sober and realistic look at Gettleman's draft record is pretty dismal

 

2016

Vernon Butler - Didn't show much as a rookie beyond special teams;  with KK resigned, unlikely to be a starter;  not worth a 1st rounder

Bradberry - Great pick

Worley - Struggled as a rookie, but jury is still out

Sanchez - Was cut from the team before resigned due to injuries;  unlikely to make the 53

Sandland - Cut

2015

Thompson -  Overdrafted in the 1st round, will continue to get snaps until TD retires, at which point he will be a free agent

Funchess - Complete bust, will likely be cut next year or traded for scraps like Ealy

D. Williams - Moton was likely drafted to replace him, so not much confidence in him;  grades poorly

Mayo - Just a depth guy

Payne - Unlikely to make the 53, will likely be cut

2014

Benjamin - Time was hesitant to even pick up his 5th year option;  lacks the worth ethic to excel in this league;  missed out on Landry and Robinson to draft him

Ealy - Traded for a mere 8 positions in the draft;  huge bust

Turner - great pick

Boston - cut

Bene - cut

Gaffney - cut

Was just about to point out what 15 just said.. These trolls gotta go

gonna just ignore the Star/KK draft to get your shitty point across?

Star Lotulelei grades as a barely above average tackle, which did not warrant being selected 13th in the draft;  has never made the pro bowl.  He's by no means a bust, but if I have the 13th pick in that draft, I don't take him that early

Here are some pro bowl players drafted directly AFTER Star in the 1st round

Eric Reid, Kyle Long, Tyler Eifert, Desmond Trufant, Xavier Rhodes, Deandre Hopkins, Travis Frederick, etc

 

Not to mention Kubbila and Barner;  people will say that all GMs miss on their late round picks, but this was precisely the criticism leveled at Hurney.  At least Hurney hit on his 1st round picks, unlike Dave, who misses on both early and late picks.

Oh God... Here we go again

go ahead and post a draft where a GM nailed every single pick with pro bowl players, I'll wait. 

 

I'm not expecting him to nail every single pick;  as the record I pointed out shows, he busts on 80% of his picks, both early and late.

I also know that Hurney drafted dozens of elite pro bowl bowlers, and Gettleman has very little to show for himself in his five years here besides KK and Trai.  It will look even worse when McC gets 5-10 snaps a game as a gadget player.

If you look at the core of the Panthers team

Cam Newton, Stewart, Olsen, Kalil, Kuechly, Thomas Davis, etc - all Hurney guys.  Take away those players from the team, and do we win 3 games next year?

5 years in, when is Gettleman going to start building his own foundation and not relying on guys drafted by a GM that was here a decade ago?  Difficult to do considering how often he busts on draft picks.

Who da fug is this^

[uncfan888]

@15 this guy sounds just like CPantherKing. It's probably his alias. I'd ignore it

[Raskle]

I'm just amazed that someone still believes that the Pro-Bowl has any sort of relevant meaning to a player's worth. Even if this is just a troll job, it's still a terrible viewpoint, and I'd give their effort a 1/10.

[CPcavedweller]

Thank god. Tre has been a liability on all but one play that I remember.

waving Tre Boston feels like I won the lottery.  guy was awful to watch.

[Chief Keek]

See ya Tre' you had a good run but I'm not going to miss your blown assignments, bad angles, and missed tackles.

[TheSpecialJuan]

Tre's play was so inconsistent last year that he became a major liability in the secondary. Michael Griffin was signed and if you recall, started immediately over Boston, the very next game !
