Chud says Gettis looks "rusty"

Yes, please cut AE so he can get picked up by the Patriots and start making plays. Hard to actually contribute when you aren't on the field.

LOL...if he was actually showing something in practice, don't you think he would be getting more playing time already? Very telling when Pilares gets on the field as a WR, but AEs warming the bench.

Some players show more on gameday when their adrenaline is pumping. Same thing happens to runners... You get that extra burst and perform better. Besides, training camp reports talk about AE continually making great plays. I think he's just been looked at incorrectly in CLT. He isn't as good going up over a receiver or in traffic. But get him the ball in space a la Percy Harvin. Harvin had 27 catches behind the LOS this year and makes play after play. AE is not in Harvin's league but could be successful in a similar role.

Lets just say this

This team need to spread teams out more. At this point, throw AE and Pilares out there and run some routes

So Chud is accessible enough to talk to reporters about Gettis, and yet not once this year, I repeat, not once have they asked him about his playcalling?

That is some bs.

Just think.......Last year we were all on pins and needles,worried that some team would hire Chud as HC and we would lose him. Shows how quickly things can change.

So true.

In fairness though, nobody expected him to fall in love with the 1 TE set and the read option to the point that we lost our offensive identity.

And I'd take a "rusty" Gettis over a healthy Edwards every time!!!

That may be true, but we have no idea what we're going to get with Gettis not having really done anything since August 2011. If they activate him, I hope he's still got some speed and moves out there. We definitely need someone to step up and get Murphy off the field (unless he's our fumble recovery specialist). The coaches seem content to only play three receivers, so I'm not sure that Gettis getting activated will mean he'll see the field. I just hope the guy is healthy and can still play.

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
