Did they give up on Yetor Gross-Metos to soon?

[Jmac]

He is having a decent season with the Niners and is still young. Should they have tried to keep him and see what shakes out?

Could have used him this season definitely. Had promise as a pass rushing DE. Don't know much about his ability to set the edge. At 250, he was pretty light in the drawers. Sort of a Burns type built.

Worth a contract?

[Ricky Spanish]

He has only played in 7 games and has 15 tackles and 4 sacks on the season, 3 coming last week. He signed a 2 year 18 million dollar contract costing them 10 million this year alone.

DJ Wonnum has played in 3 games has 19 tackles and 3 sacks on the season. We signed him for a 2 year 12 million dollar contract costing us 5.4 million this year alone.

It took him time to see the field but Wonnum is already better than Gross-Matos ever was with us. And he's cheaper.

I am not losing sleep about losing him even if he had a good game last week.

Probably more that YGM has a better supporting cast around him. 

[frankw]

I liked his potential but the 49ers have much more talent on the whole than we do. Even still our defense has come up big in some situations the last few weeks despite how depleted the roster has been at times this season.

He's had 1 good game and the lowest production of his career for the most part outside of that 

[Gapanthersfan]

He would always have a flash game here and there, get our hopes up, then go back to the same baseline. New management usually cleans house except for just a few employees who fit the mold they want. It’s part of the culture change. 

Dan is trying to recreate an old school panthers defense as he once knew it, attitude and all… only better. Dave is in charge of the offense. 

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they trade back and go LB in the first round after changing back over to a 4/3. They are GOING to go hard on DE. 

Complete culture change. 

[Khyber53]

Better supporting cast and I really felt like we spent a lot of time scheming to get Brian Burns to take off.

Good luck to the young fellow, though. 

[rayzor]

no.

wonnum>>gross-metos

wonnum = cheaper than gross-metos

[LinvilleGorge]

He's a rotational level player who has a random great game. At least Kony Ealy ha his random great game in the Super Bowl.

[csx]

Do we know it wasn't him who just wanted out? It's not like he was cut.

[ImfromClayton]

I'm pretty sure he has 4 sacks and 3 of them came in one game. 

 

I didn't hate him as a primary run defending Edge, but I'm not mad about letting him walk. He had one good game. 

 

The seahawks paid Matt Flynn because he had two good games. 

[NAS]

No he had plenty of time to prove himself and one grat game doesn’t change that

[Candler Cat]

too

I hated him as a run defending Edge. WRs and TEs took his lunch money way too often with crack blocks and reaches. He wasn't good/consistent at setting the Edge. If that has improved, then he'd be much better. Same could be said for Burns.
