Waste of 1st and 2nd round draft picks

Gettleman knew Shula was the OC when he made the selections of CMC and Samuel

 

Did Gettleman think Shula was going to get fired, because I saw no indication he would be;  it's Gettleman's fault, because as bad as Shula may be, Gettleman knew Shula couldn't use these players

I don't see how Dave is let off the hook;  you draft for your coaches

Jesus it's two and a half games and you're calling 2017 draft picks "a waste." I understand the doom and gloom in the middle of a loss. But please for our sanity stfu.

I didnt call them a waste. I said they're looking like their going to be a waste which they are. As long as we have Shula and a tackle that can't protect Cam blind side they will be.

If we can't score a TD against the Saints at home then we surely have to reconsider our offensive philosophy and game planning. 

If you notice, I didn't say anything about personnel. If Sean Peyton, Andy Reid, Josh McDaniel,etc were calling plays for this bunch I think we'd have one of the top offenses in the league (even with our weaknesses at the Tackle positions)

Every time Samuel touches the ball he looks electric.  GET THE MAN THE DAMN BALL

At the minimum Samuel should be our starting slot receiver. I'm not so sure he shouldn't be getting some snaps at the #1 or 2 positions. He shouldn't be losing snaps to Shepard.

    • 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.
    • 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
