Gettis primed to emerge as top tier WR, per sources

[CatMan72]

I think this is one of the primary guys Gettleman has in mind when he says "The answers are often already on your roster" when talking about positions of need.

[AceBoogie]

Yea sure. Just an arrogant excuse for not helping out the best player on your roster.

[4Corners]

I honestly think Gettis is in danger of being cut

I would keep him over the scrub Armanti though

[top dawg]

It was believable until you went with "sources"

LOL. You do realize that if you take the "sources" out, it isn't believable at all? LOL

[DaCityKats]

what cracks me up when i'm reading all of this, is seriously........how many WRs do you people want?

We mostly run 2 and 3 WR sets and have very servicable players in Smitty, LaFell, Hixon and Ginn. Throw in Gettis and all the others and you have some young depth.

People bitching and moaning about this player or that player not being worth a damn....well...please tell me, when have they even seen the field? Like I said before, we run 2-3 wr sets since we have G-reg. I saw Adams line up at WR maybe twice, Gettis got into a game but was not even targeted, Pilares is built for the slot but he can't seem to stay healthy. Armanti, well, people have a grudge towards what Hurney did to get him here, but he has improved 100x over what he was when he was fumbling punts in 2010. Most teams only have 2-3 good receivers anyway, and if we ran more 4-5 wr sets, sure, let's get fresh blood in here, but jeez, let's focus on OL and protect Cam...i would be willing to bet that once the OL is shored up, these guys on the sideline may make a better impression.

With that being said (tl;dr): We have smitty and a couple of decent guys, let's give these guys some reps, see if they can produce and go from there. Not enough evidence pointing either way!

out of all them WRs you named, 5 contracts will be up in 2014. with a aging 5'9 #1 WR this team needs to stop putting off taking a WR.

I'm the guy who laughs at people who say third string player x will break out this year. But Gettis already semi-broke out with what he did with Clausen. If healthy, he is good

This.

It is not like he is a PS player who has never seen the field.

He had pretty good numbers his rookie year with Clausen throwing to him.

If he can come back from the injury, I definitely believe he has a chance.

It is all up to him now....we will see how bad he wants it.

He had like 100 something yards on the year with The Jimmy throwing the rock.

Yep. 80+ with BSP and the rest were with M. Moore.

[CBDellinger]

We also haven't drafted any other position. Do you take this to mean we have supreme confidence in Geoff Hangartner and Haruki Nakamura? Or that Short and Star were the best players available at a position of need when our picks came up? Because we worked out a lot of players at their position as well.

I hope this is exactly what happened. We got to our 2nd pick and this was the BPA. It means he did it right if so.

[OneBadCat]

I love me some David Gettis and he has the potential to be the perfect WR for us. But I can't say I like putting that much faith in him coming off injury. I'm at the point now where I wouldn't be upset with pick a WR with every pick we had if it meant getting the one this team needs. But heres to Gettis and 1,000 yd season.

This. People of the Huddle love them some Gettis, but like you said, it was Lafell who did the most with Clausen. Gettis really only shined in the 49ers game that year, and the Ravens game(Moore and BSP were throwing those games). I really hope the FO isn't depending on Gettis to do much of anything. It pisses me off that we have done nothing in the last 2 drafts to really protect Cam, or get him some weapons.

But that's only because Clausen never had the balls to throw farther than 15 yards. LaFell probably racked up the short yardage routes.

Would love to see Dave Gettleman say something about Gettis. Whatever he says about him I'd believe and if he told us he's ready to go then I have a little more faith in the WR core.

Forgot that Moore was the starter most if the year. But, he is only a slight upgrade over Jimmy. Same premis though....one barely marginal and one bad QB throwing to him.

My point is that he did produce well in actual games....better than a OS player that everyone is infatuated with.
