Does this even things out?

Comparing Gettis to the Wide receivers taken in the first two rounds of the draft.

Round 1. pick: Dez Bryant

18 rec. 211yds. Avg. 11.7 1TD

The Cowboys give up their 3rd round pick to trade up from 27 to 24. In addition to New England's 24th overall pick, Dallas also received New England's 4th round pick.

Round 1. (22 overall) pick: Demaryius Thomas

15 rec. 184yds. Avg. 12.3 2TD

Round 2. (60th overall) pick: Golden taint... I mean Tate

8rec. 115yds Avg.14.4 0 TD

Round 2. (39th overall) pick: Arrelious Benn

7rec. 76yds. Avg.10.9 0 TD

compared to

David Gettis

18rec. 244yds Avg. 13.6 2TD

Selected by Carolina in the sixth round (198th overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft

If he (Gettis) stays on this productive track will this even out the AE trade?

Bryant is behind two good WRs. Gettis is behind 1. Me thinks if Dez was their #2 his stats would be better.

hasn't gettis only had 3 starts? and doesn't Dez have one game on Gettis (bye week?)? i wanted to put each players starts or snaps, but i didn't think about it until after i submitted the thread. so in anyone has that info it would be appreciated.

I don't see why we're expecting immediate results from a D2 QB transitioning to NFL wide receiver. AE may not play until week 15 or so.

No i'm not expecting AE to do anything this year. I was just saying Dallas gave up a pick for a Wr too, and our sixth round pick has produced better numbers so far. so does that take any sting off the AE selection?

AE trade was a trade that didn't need to happen. I think it was really dumb to trade up for a project that might not be here under a new regime. That was Hurney blunder.

Gettis had a great game. Kerry Colbert had some great games as a rookie as well. That being said, Gettis doesn't look like a Kerry Colbert. He seems to have that fire inside.

Nothing is even yet IMO.

Gettis is god. For those who say Keary had great games too...well yeah, he did, but when Gettis dropped that 4th down td pass, he didn't smile and jovially skip back to the sideline, he got hungry for redemption. That's why he's already leaps and bounds above that disgrace to Panther Football, Keary F*cling Colbert.

      Kind of where I'm at on this also. I think he has the potential to be an all pro caliber guard if he can come back 100%. He's more mauler than quick. Hunt is making 20m per, Moton is making 22m. Moton is a better RT than Icky is a LT so I think the pay comp would probably be about the same there. I don't see Icky as a 28m per season LT. He'll be low 20s and as an elite guard, i think he'd be within a couple mill of that.

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.
