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


Proudiddy

Recommended Posts

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

    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
