Sorry, this doesn't go here, But I need to say this. I'm really really hoping that Gettleman finds us some bonefide WRs from somewhere on this planet. Whether it be in the draft, FA, the CFL or wherever. When the dust settles and the season begins, we had better not have a problem with our passing game. If we do, the backlash that you think he's enduring now will be minuscule to what he'll get if we don't have production from our wideouts.

As much as it pains me to say this, and I'm forcing myself to look at this with my glass 1/2 full, we will miss Smittys intensity on the field/leadership more than anything. Nobody can energize our crowd like Smitty did. We could be down 35-7 and the man catches the ball, spins it on the ground and smacks his helmet, and if you closed your eyes for two seconds you'd think he just scored the game winning TD.

Sorry in advance if my post derails your thread OP. I don't have thread creating abilities just yet. To my fellow fans, we're just going to have to wait and see what happens. We sang Gettlemans praises last year, let's see if he can wow us once again. It's hard to think that will be possible with what we've been left with. We are and traditionally always have been a "build through the draft" type of team. It's hard to have faith now, but let's all hope this FO and our scouting department can pull several rabbits out of the hat before September.

    • If we divide the league up into quarters you need to be able to make 8 worse starting QBs for him not to be bottom tier. Who are they?
    • It just doesn't add up to what we're watching. It feels like you're trying to convince yourself that Bryce can just make a few adjustments and pan out. You say he turns the ball over because he's over aggressive and I just don't see that. A lot of his turnovers are just bad throws oftentimes because the balls sails in him. The fumble issues? I mean, you have the smallest QB in the NFL getting hit by extremely large powerful kej who knows based on film study that this guy is prone to coughing up the ball. If you're being hit by a much larger, much more powerful man intent on removing the ball from your possession you're gonna lose that battle a decent amount of the time. I think some of it is due to bad footwork but some of it is also that when there's traffic in front of him he has to try to get the ball up and over that pressure due to his lack of height. His release point it just several inches lower than most NFL QBs, no way around it. You saying it's more difficult than simply looking at outcomes while completely leaning on situational stats to try to convince people their eyes are lying to them and Bryce's arm isn't a significantly limiting factor in his game. Some people are hyperbolic about his lack of arm strength but honestly he has one of the weakest arms in the league. That's just reality if you objectively watch him play versus other NFL QBs. If he had time in a clean pocket and can step up into and through his throw he can make most throws but that's the problem, for him to make the tougher throws everything has to go perfect. If there's pressure pushing him off his spot or pressure in front of him where he can't step up or has to try to loft the pass over the scrum it's probably ending in a poor result. The problem is that's a commonplace scenario in the NFL. It wasn't at Alabama. Trust your own QB analytical system. Bryce being very the bottom of the league matches up perfectly with the eye test of just watching him olay
    • If he wanted to be as irrelevant as possible in his final year he's achieving it.
