In Hindsight....

Brought on by this player winning AFC defensive player of the week for this past week....

 

Eric Weddle would've been a massive signing and probably the biggest addition our team could've used last year and this year. We don't know exactly what happened but there was supposedly mutual interest at the time. He wound up getting 4 years $26M. Would've been well worth it for a guy who has 12 takeaways last year and this year so far... We have 11 all year. Not sure there's a player we missed out on that would've been a more important addition than Weddle. Playing at a first team all pro level in Baltimore and would've been huge to have back there helping out the young corners, and Rivera coached him before as well. For that value missing out on him is even way worse than letting Josh go. Damn I wish we signed him.

One word.....Gettleman....that's why we're stuck with geriatrics at safety this year. 

yeah, this dude had a tedency to go for certain types of positions or players multiple times in one draft and not draft at a good enough variety of positions. If you do that multiple years, its going to make certain position groups on your roster old and not as talented as others and leave you with glaring weaknesses if you have bad luck with your free agents.

Hell , in hindsight we could have had Hunter Henry, Kareem Hunt, Tarik Cohen all on the same team. 

In terms of free agents , you should know better than this organization pretty much never gives lucrative contracts to high profile free agents. Either we go bargain bin or we shell out for players that haven't even been good in the last several seasons (M.Kalil) . There's a lot of things this organization has done that don't make much sense.

Isn't everything in hindsight really? 

Now if anybody has some foresight that'd be great. Tag a head coach if you're able.

I've got foresight... Sign Josh back when the Skins release him this offseason.

and for what it's worth, since I've been on here I've shut down pretty much all potential FA's that people wanted here, some that turned out well some that didn't. I'm kind of like DG and the Packers in that I don't believe much in shelling out a lot of money for big name FAs. However, Weddle was one of the guys I was extremely behind going after even at the price he got from the Ravens or more even. I was a huge proponent of signing Weddle. Not really for any other possible FA signings, although I did like Whitworth this year---none of the other OTs though that many here wanted and some have worked out well for the teams that signed them.

Safety is one of the few positions that usually aren't directly affected by the type of system that gets the player production. In other words, safety is a position you can safely assume the player won't struggle going to and from different systems or a different system won't directly affect production.

We're old at saftey and they've tried using bargain bin free agents for too long . We really could use a safety and a DE in the 2018 draft 

GMs don't dictate defensive or offensive philosophy. Coaches do.

The only exceptions to that are teams with established systems like the Steelers.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By CRA · Posted

      I think they took him for that.  He projected to fit the role we saw in Tampa and Seattle.  But Bryce doesn’t throw those balls.   Bryce basically throws to the sideline or endzone…..not really ever putting them up and in play between the 20s.

      By TimeTravelerTep · Posted

      Honestly, it wasn't on him last game. There are many other reasons that come before Bryce. Dave Canales is really starting to worry me. I mean there are glaring issues that can't be excused. I said back when the whole Rico/Chubba thing happened. I said right then that you cannot have a coach that handled those 4 or 5 games the way he did. I get it, most thought that he was trying to throw games, which was not wrong thinking because of how bad it was. The decisions right before half. The strict "Chubba gets this drive and Rico gets the next." It's seeming like a lot of our backups are the better talent, so he cant evaluate talent. Not calling a quarterback sneak because of size. Small quarterback have a different type of advantage, just not as good as a large quarterback, but still doable. Then he doesn't even explain why he didn't put Dalton in there (saying it would give away a quarterback sneak is...just stop). I honestly think he forgot about putting in Dalton. There are so many others that I'd have to re-watch the games to remember.  I could make a whole other post on that defensive game plan...absolutely awful. And a quick petition...see the quote above, can we please ban these weirdos and try to clean this place up. This is peak reddit right here and these losers will destroy the board. I couldn't make it though 3 pages because these morons post more than anyone else. These are the perpetual online freaking weirdos banned from getting too close to schools reddit mod types. Get these losers out of here. You got these freaks posting a ton and not answering the question OP posted ABOUT THE PANTHERS. This is supposed to be about football and this dork constantly tries to attack OP's question. Could you imagine someone in your real life group acting like this? You'd kick his butt out immediately. And you have this reddit loser trying to stop people for posting about the Panthers. Any normal person would just skip the post, but you have to remember these morons base their whole personality on their online persona. They would be banned almost everywhere else. Send him back to reddit, they will be a cancer to this place, trust me. I guarantee you he has more comments than 95% of accounts. These guys are the lowest in society so they live online. Its everything to them. You dont want that. Just read his responses. Do background check on that guy, there are younger people on this too and he probably isn't allowed to be talking to them, or be on here at all.

      Neither of them are getting in. Cam had HOF potential but was squandered by Ron, Shula, and Gettlemen.
