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

    • 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
