There can be no doubt: Gettleman is in charge

Over the last few days I've heard people suggest there was no way Jerry Richardson would ever allow the team to cut Steve Smith.  A few numbnuts even suggested that Smith had more power to dictate what happened than Gettleman did.

 

Those theories are pretty much out the window now.

 

Whatever else happens, there can now be no doubt that this is Dave Gettleman's roster to shape and tweak as he pleases (within the limits of the salary cap mess left to him by Marty Hurney).

 

Gettleman is in charge.

He is going to make mistakes along the way but everything Gettleman has done so far in his short tenure here has been golden from what I can tell. I expect this move to be no different.  Lots of emotionally brought on "player > team" mentality around here recently. One step back to take two steps forwward.

The owner isn't going to spend any extra dime to improve or win, even if we had the cap space.  Hope the son of a bitch is sitting with his blanket over him in December looking at 30,000 empty blue seats, he likely will since Cam will have nobody blocking for him or anyone to throw the ball to, if he isn't hurt by then.

    • And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.  
    • The most telling sign, IMO, of a team on the upward swing is who we lost in the off-season. Who left that even saw the field? Woods, Clowney, Sanders, & Hekker. OK...no big deal. Clowney is the only 1 that I raised an eyebrow over and I get that it was a money decision. No need to pay him over $7M to take snaps from our draft picks when he was just OK last year.
