Gettleman's/Saca's "All-Stars" Thread

A catch-all for the horrible picks, signees, and investments Gettleman made leaving our team completely bereft of talent outside of core players Hurney left him, all while he dumped true game changers in the process and got our QB beaten to a pulp.  Also, a counter thread to the fluff, twitter-snippet-video analysis pieces Saca makes to hype up bums that keep losing us games. 

Russell Shepard.  Sucks.  Sucks on ST, sucks on offense.  Sucks.  Should've kept Ginn.

Matt Kalil.  Sucks.  Leads the league in penalties for tackles.  Should be out of the league after he is done here.

Devin Funchess - average, serviceable receiver.  Not a #1, but sadly all we currently have.  Inconsistent hands, lacks field awareness, needs a breather every two or three plays.  Closer to LaFell than Muhammad in comparing him to past Panther receivers.

Christian McCafferey...  a reach, as many Gettleman picks are.  Questionable productivity qhen considering volume, but there's possibly 3 or 4 rookie RBs clearly better than him.  College explosiveness did not translate to pros and he isn't even very effective as just a gadget back.  #8 picks should be game changers...  not Danny Woodhead.

Daryl Worley.  Trash.  Will always be trash.

Shaq Thompson.  Trash.  Will always be trash.

Vernon Butler.  On a milk carton when he's not getting penalties.

Bradberry.  Regressed.

Trai Turner.  Overrated.  Not worth the money.

And speaking of that...  I hate to throw him in here, but KK Short has not been worth the money.  His accumulated stats to this point have been fairly inconsequential and he all but disappears in the biggest games.  He has not been worth the money he signed for.

You don't need twitter videos to tell you whether a guy can play or not, nor do you need in-depth, meticulous analysis like "There was an overthrow because the receiver was covered" or "watch thomas davis get beat on this angle route by a great receiving back one time.  He has lost a step," to be able to use your eyes and determine whether a player is playing up to expectations.  Cam has no weapons.  Luke is playing with an incompetent supporting cast.  We are hard to watch, and it all begins and ends with Gettleman's decisions.  Hurney has made franchise-changing picks in the first round, but he is a complete dolt when it comes to in-season roster management.  Regardless, the roster needs an overhaul around Cam and Luke.  Hurney, Rivera, and Shula need to go.

Our 8 wins are hollow.

I'm struggling to find a ton there to disagree with if I'm being honest. 

I think you were a little harsh on Shaq. I don't think he's trash, but he's definitely not what you're hoping for out of a first round pick. He's not an impact player. Basically an average-ish starting caliber LB and that's benefitting in playing behind a solid DL and in a very LB friendly system. Probably wouldn't look this "good" elsewhere.

Man Saca is really in your head lol

I don't even know why lmao. It's hilarious how much attention I'm getting around here just because I'm usually the only one providing content.

Feel free to do that if you want. I really could care less if I'm right or wrong.

Sorry, he is excellent in plays that require  no reads or decisions after the snap... as in, edge rushing.  If he has to cover a man or zone, he is getting beat.  If he has to make a play on a ball he somehow mistakenly happens to be in position for, he misses it.  He may not be trash then, but he certainly is not starting material.

Fugged up being a hard ass when it came to Norman. He shut down a whole side of the field, and made KurtCo. Bradberry is good, but QBs aren't scared to throw at him. Only reason they don't is why throw his way when I've got Worley/Seymour on the other side that'll allow this easy completion.

Kalil is trash, and is not worth his contract. Should've went after Whitworth and had him play while we develop our LT of the future

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
