Still loving Gettleman?

So in his first year he cuts Gamble, and forces Gross into a restructure.  Gamble retires.

 

In his second, Gross retires, G-Man treats Smitty like a has-been, and doesn't even bother with Munnerlyn.

 

Hurney was loyal to his guys to a fault.  Think Gettleman is doing it right, or is he the anti-Hurney?

12-4 in his first year as GM. Yeah, I'm good with him so far.

In all seriousness, the moves he's talking about making are ones that Hurney would never had or did make, which is ultimately the reason we were a mediocre at best franchise when he was at the helm.

So he cut a 30-something year old corner who had obviously lost the will to play (as evidenced by sitting out the whole year with a torn labrum and retiring the moment he was cut) restructured a left tackle in his 30s while the team was in cap hell from hurney, made an "evaluating" comment about a 35 year old receiver whose signature season was 10 seasons ago, and is holding firm on a 5'8 cornerback who seems to only be useful as a nickel corner and thinks he is worth way more than he actually is. Whats the issue here with any of these things?

I thought it was fairly clear that Gross restructured because he knew he was going to retire.

I'm fine with him for the most part. He's done good things here, and he's an intelligent football mind.

I don't think Gettleman is dumb enough to move Steve Smith. He just needs to be mindful of the media, and how they perceive comments, and create stories out of thin air. Like last year with Cam.

He played hard ball with Munnerlyn a year ago too, I think he'll end up re-signing.

Cyberjag is the guy that still wishes Fox, Turgovac, and Henning were still on our coaching staff. Nothing to see here.

Werent you just comparing him to Hurney saying he treats DEs like Hurneys running backs,

    • I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.
    • Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.
    • What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
