Gettis on the PUP list

I just feel like we are not at full strength on the offense without this guy. LaFell is decent, but he is not a true number 2.

I don't get the love-affair with Gettis. I hope the dude makes it back, and all of his fans are correct. I would love for him to return and be a force. But, thus far, I've seen nothing that would guarantee this happens.

I didn't see anything spectacular. Did he make good plays? Yes. Did he make plays that said he should be a starter? No, not really. LaFell would definitely be a number three receiver on a lot of teams around the league.

You must have missed the one or two clutch catches every week near the end of each game. Not to mention the good catches throughout each game. He is legit, I don't understand the doubts people have.

I am not sure we can really gauge the years LaFell and Gettis had with Clausen. I didn't think either was clearly better than each other. I personally liked Gettis better that year.

But all that matters is LaFell is on the field. LaFell might not be as explosive as Gettis (and that gap may have closed because of Gettis's nagging injuries) but he is better all around WR. He, like Murphy, likes to block when his number isn't called.

I am just worried this has more to do than just his hamstring. I don't know why you'd be on the PUP list just for a hamstring. He continues to say it has nothing to do with the ACL but I am sure it does.

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

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive lshort or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.

      In addition to his weak arm he has to compensate in the pocket by throwing off his toes due to his height. Respectfully, its a handicap.
