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.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
