These two guys have some similarities that are making people pass over them in my opinion and have a pretty good shot at making the team and doing rather well in the long run...

-They were both under-utilized due to the teams they were on and their style of play. Baylor just isn't a great passing school, or a solid all around team, with only 2900 yds passing and 13 TDs last year. Gettis managed 52/672/3td and returned punts. Hardy played 18-games over the last 2 seasons (with injury problems) had 34 tackles/13.5 sacks/16 tfls/1 int. He was not a major part of the Rebels team but was still a huge force and big prospect at multiple points of his college career.

-They both are over-sized for their positions yet surprisingly versatile, STRONG, & quick

In review:

Our WR core after Smith, LaFell, & Edwads imo is pretty much up for grabs. This leaves 1-2 (maybe 3) wideouts to be added. Gettis has all the tools and if he can adjust to the NFL well, we may have found something special.

And for DEs imo, Brayton, Brown, & Johnson should be making the team, leaving Hardy to fight really hard in camp. If he gets his injury problem in control, he may be the most utilized DE on the team other than Johnson by the year's end. We could be really set on D if both Norwood & Hardy do well in camp.

edit: I was mistaken Norwood = LB ;)

Anyone share the same sentiment?

personally, i don't think gettis has a chance in hell of making the roster. practice squad maybe. it's just numbers. smitty, lafell, and edwards are locks for the roster. jarrett's there unless he gets cut. kenny moore is probably ahead of him at this point even though he hasn't proven much (umm...neither has gettis). then throw wright, jackson, and martin in the mix. if jarrett doesn't get released, gettis basically has to beat out moore, wright, jackson, and martin to even be considered for a spot on the roster. i doubt that's going to happen. that doesn't even acknowledge the other UDFAs and floaters that will come in as camp fodder. the odds are heavily stacked against the guy.

      It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that.  On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting).  The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt.

      That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering.  While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive.  Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however.  The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?
