If this is Gettlemans worse mistake I'll take it 100x over Hurney's.

Regardless, year after year you guys bitch about GMs and coaches as if they make a difference. JR puts them in place and handcuffing them with his meddling. We need a new owner, bad.

Tell me what mistake could possibly be worse than inheriting a MVP winning, franchise level QB, and surrounding him with the worst tackles in NFL history through his career (after forcing Jordan Gross to retire early), and subsequently causing him to suffer so many concussions and hits to the head, the MVP QB loses his ability to play football in his 20s

I can't think of a worse mistake by any general manager in the NFL, let alone Hurney

Byron Bell, Nate Chandler, Matt Kalil, are the type of decisions that ruin a franchise QB for good;  Gettleman inherited a hall of fame QB and destroyed his career with lack of protection.

Having your qb take the beating of a rb because your OC can't come up with a decent game plan other than beat your qb into the ground. Cam has consistently held onto the ball too long instead of throwing it away, or he tries to run over people instead of sliding to protect his body. The NFL has allowed open season on Cam and he is not treated as a qb by the refs. Getting decent tackles is 100% on Gettleman but let's not pretend it's all his fault.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
