...just to think if Gettleman had been with from the start?

Not criticizing, but thoughts like this (i.e. what could have been) depress me :(

I would add that my estimation of how good this free agent period has been will certainly go up if I'm given a reason to make a change to my sig pic.

Can at least say that I'm impressed with what Gettleman has done so far. It definitely looks like this has the potential to be a great offseason. I have more hope for the future of this team than I've had for some time.

This. The fact that Hurney is gone has given me hope for the future.

I think I was making this thread with the idea of "what did we not need to fix vs. what we did need to fix." That 1996 class with Beuerlein, Walls, Greene, and Davis, will probably NEVER be matched in terms of quality of player. That's 3 possible hall of famers in one FA class, all in their prime. A class like this is probably impossible to sign in FA these days.

That being said, we have a franchise QB now, so the holes should be easier to fill, yet we still had significant ones all around the roster. I also probably shouldn't have said "cap situation notwithstanding" because that does have a huge bearing on how incredible this FA period has been, all things considered.

Perhaps I was a prisoner of the moment in making this thread. Of course I knew who Beuerlein, Walls, Davis, and Greene were when we signed them back in '96, but I didn't understand how big that was back then because I was like 12 years old.

If we make a run at the Superbowl this year though, this FA class could be considered one of the, if not THE greatest ever, and that's all I'm concerned with.

      NFL Free Agency

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I honestly feel bad for Willis. I mean, good that he got a decent (NFL QB speaking) payday and will be set for life, but in terms of actually competing and providing he's a legit starter? The Dolphins are gonna carry $175M in dead cap this year and they have an out in Willis' contract after the 2027 season. This seems like the most obvious tank job in history with Willis signed as cover for it.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      I was scrolling X (Twitter) and I came across this clip....If I shows up here I'd be shocked.  Anyway it was supposed to highlight the blocking ability of Antonio Williams.  All I noticed is how well Blake Miller moved on pulls and in space.  I'm thinking it should be Miller Time in Carolina. I think with half a season of coaching that either Miller or Iheanachor could end up at LT, specifically Iheanachor with his footwork and those super long arms.  He's raw, but that could be a good thing with those natural athletic gifts.   https://x.com/NFL_DF/status/2033992963659796861?s=20

      I am using Kelce more as an example of what people think you get with a 1st round TE.    3 f the top 4 yardage guys of all time are 1st rounders. I think. But realize these would be the guys with super long careers, and/or top QBs throwing to them. We don’t have a top QB.    And there have been Plenty of first round disappointments too. More of them than the all time leaders for sure.    We were treating Bryce as the ultimate ‘don’t fug it up’ game manager in order to get a few of those 8 wins. And to stay close in some losses.   1st round picks, starting in 2023 that have been used on a WR or on the QB? 2023 1 (qb) 2024 2 (1 & 32) (qb, wr) 2025 1 (wr) When does it stop?
