I was not a huge Gettleman fan, but unlike a lot of our fan base, I was not too upset when he didn't gift Norman a huge deal.  Why?  Norman was a system guy.  He fit this system well...and need I remind you all even struggled (benched on occasion) as he was trying to grasp our zone concept.  The problem, as it always has been, this front office is slow to replace key pieces until it'a SO obvious that there is a deficiency.

Gettleman should not have rescinded the franchise tag. That was foolish managing.

Yet, he's a healthy scratch today?  Josh has not lived up to his deal in Washington.  He's flashed here and there, but in no way has shown he deserved #1 corner money.

That was 2016. Norman has now passed his prime. We should have kept him for one year (2016) and made another Super Bowl run.

He balled out for about a season and a half and got a mega deal.  Not bad for a dude from a school that's basically an open date for App State every year.

As with many NFL players--He balled out in a contract year.  You have to be leery of player that only show up in contract years.  Heck all of a sudden Vernon Butler doesn't suck after four years of warming the bench. Oh! Contract year...

Agreed, at a minimum we should have kept him that year so we could develop our young CBs instead of throwing all rookies on the field and expecting it to play out well.

Imagine Bradberry and Norman in 2016 instead of a secondary made up of rookies.

The refs letting Cam get murdered on the field, Kelvin Benjamin not giving a fug, and Michael Oher suffering a career-ending concussion are the main factors that undid that season.  Just adding Josh Norman to that doesn't get us to playoffs, let alone the Super Bowl.

No way he was worth that contract, but I don’t know if he was ever a good fit with the defense they play in Washington. He was the 69th ranked cb last year alone and is still one of the highest paid in the league. It makes me wonder what type of contract Bradberry will get this offseason.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
