if he did everything he was suppose to....why was his quickly shown the bench when he got healthy and they attempted to give him a shot last year

Ask Phil Simms what he looked like in practice last year prior to the Broncos game. The same game he got in Rivera's face and then was inactive shortly thereafter.

This thread about a sixth round wide receiver getting cut now has more pages than the entire thread dedicated to the final cuts today. Yet we wonder why we can't get any respect and the media craps on us constantly lol.

Could be because of the pathetic excuses people make for our staff continually handing jobs to players that don't deserve them. You know, like 2 or 3 of the guys kept instead of Gettis at his position.

Again why the fug does that bother you so much? Who made you thread length moderator?? You could always leave the thread any time you choose.

Doesn't matter....the fact the confrontation occurred signals Gettis wasn't doing "everything he was suppose to".

If you watch the video, LaFell points him to his spot, then Gettis turns and looks towards the sideline with his arms outstretched. It's obvious who was confused on the play. As far as the playbook, Rivera specifically mentioned in a camp video last year that he was expecting Gettis to contribute and said he was hopeful that Gettis had an understanding of the playbook by then. And that was after a year in the offense.

Hmm, IDK. Him out stretching his arms could still just be that he never heard the call. I don't think that proves he doesn't know the playbook.

Let me preface this by saying I'm an Appstate grad and huge Armanti fan. I always understood the process to be that practice gave you the opportunity to play in the preseason and preseason games gave you an opportunity to make the team. Based on preseason games this season alone I would have kept Gettis over Armanti and Hixon. Maybe Gettis was more severely injured than we know, but just based on play he was at least the 4th best reciever.

We as fans get too emotionally attached to players. Coaches can't be this way. Remember John Fox and his veterans? As for the excuses, I've been seeing a lot less of them this year. Most fans are in put up or shut up mode.

Don't read or respond to my posts if you don't like them.

CRA, I'm sure you've played sports throughout your life under different coaches. You're telling me you never saw a player work hard, do everything he could to contribute to his team, and yet, he just never gained any favor with the coach?

By your statement, you're assuming Rivera is NEVER wrong in personnel decisions or on-field decision making. I've seen enough of Rivera to side with Gettis on that spat.

Gettleman makes the roster. Gettle. Man.

So, in summary...

Hixon, career slot receiver, sitting on his ass all preseason because he's been guaranteed a spot > Gettis working and producing during all of preseason

Armanti training camp hero that can't outrun a punter > Gettis' output and production when healthy

I've never been too upset about any of the cuts in our entire history, but looking at the bums that kept a roster spot while cutting a guy that did nothing but what he was supposed to do just doesn't sit well with me.

This sums it up pretty well for me too, not that anyone cares. Lots of people have made see good points in this read, and then there's lots of poo too... BUT this response by Proudiddy is on point. He has done everything that the team asked of him, and after his "breakout" preseason game interview he sounded like the consummate team player... Something really does stink here.

Hopefully nobody notices him and he gets IR'd. IF* he does get picked up, then I fully expect him to do well somewhere else. He's legit imo

I updated my post with a convo I had with Gil Brandt. He was very pessimistic on Gettis, used him as an example of the work ethic that people accused Cam of when Cam was actually an extremely hard worker.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.

      You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
