maybe gettleman should sign post-cardinals game jake delhomme for 42 million. then davethepanther would be singing his praises...

Who needs hypotheticals when he already threw away 50 million and our salary cap for Matt Kalil?

Jonathan stewart doesn’t have any known character flaws. He is a mature adult. Beason is the only one I can think of that doesn’t either and Gettleman did him a favor by trading instead of cutting.

What was Jordan Gross, Landon Collins,  Greg Olsen, and Thomas Davis character "flaws"? Since they've all had difficulty with his negotiation tactics..

Let's see how this New York things plays out.. Now he has to build a team from scratch that he tore down..

i'll bet he's gonna keep tearing.  i think he has to for his weird ego.  never seen a guy have to flex so much on nfl players.  seems really stupid too, because he'd get his ass whooped if he wasn't in the position he's in.  if he was some regular person i don't think he'd be flexing on giant men.   but, we will see.   i don't have a burning desire for him to fail.  he's not with the falcons, bucs, or saints, or pats.

There is, nor was there, any valid defense of pulling the tag off of Norman and immediately making a huge hole in the process. Now you are shopping hungry, as Dave Gettleman so often called drafting solely out of need.

Almost every defense I have seen uses not paying Norman long term big money as justification. Which is not a true characterization of the situation. Whether out of ignorance or willful misrepresentation of the facts, who knows, but it does not fly.

It really appears to have been ego driven. And it really set us back.

norman never came close to his 2015 performance, and his tenure in washington is largely considered a big disappointment. ppl are just adding his perceived value on top of the team and acting like it was a bad decision on that virtue alone.

I don’t remember any of those players you listed bad mouthing Gettleman. In fact gross stated in his retirement that he thought Gettleman was doing a great job with the team. 

I didn’t agree with every move DG made, specifically pulling the tag from Norman. And signing MK, even though I know why he did it. But it was always the players with massive character issues being the most vocal about it.

I do.. I remember Gross retirement press conferences having a underline jabs at Gman.. And Olsen and TD negotiation were getting to a point where they weren't going to show up to camp.. So we have a different view of the situation..

Beason nor Norman had character flaws.. 

Funny Part is the person he put the highest tag on was the player who did have character flaws.. That didn't work out well..

I heard the press conference, those "jabs" were mostly in people's imagination, ie people hearing what they wanted to hear instead of listening to what was actually said.  Gross did say that he didn't like Gettleman much at first, but came to like him more later.

Amazing what a team can do with a franchise QB.  Thanks Marty

Your opinion.. I think Gross is just a really nice guy not looking for confrontation.. So he just moved on.. But he has said a few times since then  that he had a few more years in him to make a run at a title..

Which probably would have been better than putting Cam on the field with "left feet" Byron Bell and a DT turn RT protecting him..

      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.

      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
