Lol. Salty as hell. Yeah, it was handled very badly but it was a good and necessary decision to cut him. I would imagine most players wouldn't love a GM that placed trying to win over their feelings and past accomplishments.

I have met Smith a few  times.  He is an asshole. Once, he was rude to my son when signing his 89 jersey. My son was wearing the jersey, so he had his back to Smith.   SS was asking my son for his name--my  son (8 at the time) thought Smith was going to write his own name on it, so he was confused.  I had told my  son that Smith would sign his name on the numbers, so I understood why he was confused. Smith started repeating himself slowly  and louder---as if my son was slow.   My son said, "I am Garrett--I was thinking you would write your name on it."  Smith wanted to make it out  to him personally so he could not re-sell  it, I assume.  Smith then said something to him I could not understand, but it was delivered with a short, angry tone.   He took the jersey and walked away with it--as if he was going to keep it.  Then  he signed it and threw the pen and the jersey to him at once, about 10 feet away--Garrett had to pick them up off the ground.  I quietly told Smith that if I had known he was going to be a dick about it, I would never have bought him the jersey. Smith said something I could not  understand  and shrugged  his shoulders and walked  off.

You could argue that he did not have to sign the jersey at all,  but he was my son's  favorite player until that day.  I was taking a picture of Smith signing it, so he  probably thought I  was an Ebay hack.   I do not have an Ebay account--we had a frame for the jersey to put up in Garrett's room.

TBF, you're one in a million with most of those millions trying to resell it. I wouldn't even bother with it. They've been told to avoid people without kids and most of those people now just use their kids to get the signature. Maybe he had a bad day, who knows. Can't go out just calling someone an asshole.

It's definitely not like there's a lack of evidence that Smitty is an asshole. Look, I love Smitty too. Part of what made him the player that he was is that massive chip on his shoulder. But let's not pretend like he's a nice, easy going guy.

Well. It was Marty’s team that went to the Super Bowl, except for the fact that Marty didn’t pick those DT’s that helped us get there. I love Hurney to death, but without Dave picking Star and KK we don’t get there. If we don’t sure up the 1 or 0 (depending on the set we run) somehow through draft or FA we won’t get to the playoffs or make a run. Poe ain’t it

Gettleman looked brilliant early on. Nailed that Star/KK double dip and all of his bargain basement free agents worked out perfectly. Then it all unraveled. He reached on luxury picks (Shaq and Butler) while ignoring other massive needs, then capped it all off with a disastrous free agent class. That's not to even get into the Norman debacle.

I was gonna say inb4 this turns into another Smitty bashing thread, but apparently I'm too late.

    • Watching those throws Drake Maye was making on a dead run threading lasers into tight coverage on the sidelines over and over in that game against the Bills... these people need to go watch that and be honest with themselves.
    • why rig the scenario with the "as a passer" tag.   I mean, I assume you do that because Bryce needs help in the argument.  If we are just talking players and no contacts?   I mean, give me Young over Russell Wilson.   That's it.   I'd put him on par w/ Penix, Fields, McCarthy and Rattler,  so that's a wash.  Give me everyone else over Bryce.  And I'm not handicapping the other players as passing only because when you start doing that it's really meaningless.   
    • McCarthy to date, for sure. That's a very early sample size, however. Russell Wilson is a backup. Not sure Wilson wouldn't be better suited to our offense specifically, but at the bare minimum it's basically a wash. Hurts I would generally disagree with. I do think Hurts is likely to be less than stellar in our offense. Justin Fields - Agree. Fields is a significant threat on the ground but he sees the field as badly or worse than Bryce. And that's with significantly more reps. Spencer Rattler - I honestly thought this would be an easier call that it is. TBH, right now Rattler looks a lot better. Really almost across the board. Kyler - Murray is better. Basically across the board. Not significantly better, mind you. Trevor Lawrence is more debatable than it seems. Low completion percentages, tons of TO's.....he really has been quite bad this year in Jax. He is considerably more talented than Bryce but the results have been marginally better. Tua - Tua is a little more dynamic of a player but he is a TO machine. Tend to agree. Caleb Williams. Not sure on this. Williams is still struggling to be consistent but his upper end is WAY higher than Bryce. He shows it fairlu frequently, as well. Probably would rather be working through Caleb's issues than Bryce. Penix - 100%. This guy stinks. Cam Ward. This is a little tough. Again, far higher ceiling on Ward and he shows flashes but it's been a mess there in Tenn. Probably lean towards Bryce here.
