No Joke: The players apparently didn't like Gettleman

One thing people forget about is the amount of bonus cash the nfl doles out to players for the playoffs. If we can get there consistently and make some deep runs those bonuses certainly help players buy into the system. Success and security will make everyone on the team more attached than just security.

He has also set the tone so that when it's time to negotiate, every player up will do the same thing he's doing.  If they see that he's business to the extreme, the players will do the same.  It's good to be all business, but hopefully he's personable to make up for it or he'll have all of our stars asking for the supermax contract. 

 

Not good with Cam, Luke, and Star waiting in the wings.

A guy like Gettleman is needed to right the wrongs of Hurney who got way too attached to players.

 

Hurney's mistake was once he got the super bowl he thought he had the formula to go back and win it which he didn't. He also never replenished the talent pool with quality draft picks. That 2008 team should have sht all of the Cardinals and marched it's way to the super bowl. The one guy he should have replaced years ago ends up being down fall, Jake Delhomme.

And he really shouldn't. It's a business and it's about winning championships. Not giving huge contracts to people that don't deserve them because they are good guys or have been with the team a long time

Yes. Look at the Patriots organization, same thing.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
