Gettis done for the season

Are we really flipping out about an injury to a likely 3rd string receiver? I mean, I love Gettis and think he's going to be great in the long term, but we have equal talent behind him in Lafell and Edwards.

If a starter is injured, it's one thing, but please don't start breaking down when a backup gets hurt or this will be a very long season.

When did Edwards and Gettis become equal?

I dont think anyone is overreacting. It just sucks.

It really is weird that this happens every year. Can't really explain why teams like New Orleans or Atlanta go full TCs without losing a major player, and are already "rich..."

We're just trying to get established and lose players on a weekly basis... Man, I'm tired of this.

Well seeing as this is already the second person to miss the year who would have made difference, yes we are flipping out. Not to mention others who are injured. It happens every year to us and it's very frustrating.

Define "Flipping out"?

It's upsetting because of our rookie receivers from last year, Gettis was the most promising.

Does this spell 2-14 again? No.

But any sort of chemistry him and Clausen or Newton might have had going is useless.

Why can't we get our WR Corp's poo together is what I want to know.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
