I don't see how this is a bad thing at this point. 

Agree 

Why all the pessimism?  For anyone that's played ball they know the roster can change quick, especially at the 2nd and third level of the depth chart. 

He's a mean SOB, test him out and see what happens.

Amphibious?

Sorry, may be an obscure reference:

Charles Shackleford is sometimes remembered for telling a reporter after an NC
State basketball game that "I can shoot with my left hand, I can shoot
with my right hand, I'm amphibious

thinking outside the box isn't the strong suit around here.

DG is the one who brought this guy back again in the first place after everyone else here thought we had finally moved on. It's hilarious seeing people talk about how bad our OT situation is after the last week of mourning for "best GM in muh lifetime *sniffle*" Gettleman. We were trying to put Nate Chandler and Sione Fua on the OL long after Hurney was already gone. The revolving door at OT is on Gettleman, and Rivera.

I have no words.   The new evolved Hurndog gonna Hurndog.  Throw enough shyte at the wall eventually something will stick.

You don't think coaches had input in this? Haters always gonna hate.

Hahaha, we didn't have options. Don't make this about Gettleman. I seem to remember we were in horrific condition everywhere except QB, LB and RB when Dave came to town. Oh how fickle our memories get with Gettleman Haters, eh?

Now that Dave has provided a team with cap room to ol' Marty, I'm expecting him to fix the LT position toot-sweet.

NO EXCUSES!  Marty must be held to a minimum the same standard to which a Gettleman managing a team under cap distress was held to, right?

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
