Are Cam and Rivera adjoined at the hip?

So basically you have no argument for that, and are attempting to shoot holes in it by calling him a liar.

Makes sense.

 

 

You think that a casual comment made before last season is the basis for a long-term commitment and Mr. Richardson is bound to abide by it regardless of the wins and losses / productivity that followed?  You suggest that no matter what Gettlemen thinks, Mr. Richardson will override his GM because he made a comment to support his QB to a reporter in August of 2012?  You are telling others about making "sense"?

 

We all say things that come back to bite us.  That is the underlying point in Sorenson's article---the point you missed.  How things have changed, in other words, without actually saying it. 

 

I don;t even think you understood my initial point because not one thing you have said addressed it.

All you're giving me is your opinion, not facts. I'm sorry to break it to you, but that doesn't change what he said.

True but G-man's experience with Eli should help him in realizing that he should ignore fan and media noise.

Eli in his 4th season threw 20 INTs played terrible in some key games. Fans were booing him and the NY Post plastered his face on the front page with the headline "Eli the Terrible"

He the went on to win the Super Bowl that same year.

That was Eli's 4th season. We are only two games into Cams third and the birds are already chirping.

Patience has always been the key to Cams development as with any young QB. It isn't like he has been defunct as a QB he just hasn't been perfect.

He will be fine I just hope we have the patience as a fan base and franchise to see it through. Judging by some of these threads I am starting to have my doubts

 

I am not throwing Cam to the wolves--my initial comment was that Gettlemen may decide, depending on who he hires as the next coach, that Cam is not a good fit.  Cam could eliminate that conjecture with improved play, and I am not seeing the development I hoped for.

 

Gettlemen would not move Cam unless he was presented with a sweet deal.  Gettlemen might like a QB in the draft or a coach who prefers a different-style qb.   If he decides to keep Cam, and he probably will, it may impact his decisions.

 

I see Cam's tremendous ability.  I simply would like to know--and nobody actually knows---what needs to be done to make him elite.  I am pretty sure an OL and a few stud WRs would make him better, but how much better?

 

Gettlemen has to make a decision in a year or two, and that decision will define his career.  Do you give Cam $120 million if you are not sure about his talent?  We are not looking at it from that perspective.   I want Cam to make that an easy decision.  If Gmen had to make it right now, I think it could go either way.  It is simply something worth discussing if people are interested in exploring what could be going on behind the scenes.  Suggesting it does not make me a hater (not suggesting you think so) but a person who is interested in the decision-making process that they face.

 

That is why I am upset that Cam was not given weapons or protection this year.  We may have to wait until 2014 to see how good he can actually be--

I now see the light.  Thank you.

 

"Ten of the 12 teams in the playoffs this year had true pocket passers," Gettleman said. "At the end of the day, the quarterback has to make plays from the pocket. I think the read option is an option. But at the end of the day, your quarterback has got to make plays from the pocket, and if he can't, you're going to struggle."

 

Hmmm.  Gettlemen is just giving his opinion....

It's kind of hard being a pocket passer when your sacked 6x hit 12 and pressured all games.

 

I don't know any pocket passer who thrives in that situation.

      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.
