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.

    • Watching those throws Drake Maye was making on a dead run threading lasers into tight coverage on the sidelines over and over in that game against the Bills... these people need to go watch that and be honest with themselves.
    • why rig the scenario with the "as a passer" tag.   I mean, I assume you do that because Bryce needs help in the argument.  If we are just talking players and no contacts?   I mean, give me Young over Russell Wilson.   That's it.   I'd put him on par w/ Penix, Fields, McCarthy and Rattler,  so that's a wash.  Give me everyone else over Bryce.  And I'm not handicapping the other players as passing only because when you start doing that it's really meaningless.   
    • McCarthy to date, for sure. That's a very early sample size, however. Russell Wilson is a backup. Not sure Wilson wouldn't be better suited to our offense specifically, but at the bare minimum it's basically a wash. Hurts I would generally disagree with. I do think Hurts is likely to be less than stellar in our offense. Justin Fields - Agree. Fields is a significant threat on the ground but he sees the field as badly or worse than Bryce. And that's with significantly more reps. Spencer Rattler - I honestly thought this would be an easier call that it is. TBH, right now Rattler looks a lot better. Really almost across the board. Kyler - Murray is better. Basically across the board. Not significantly better, mind you. Trevor Lawrence is more debatable than it seems. Low completion percentages, tons of TO's.....he really has been quite bad this year in Jax. He is considerably more talented than Bryce but the results have been marginally better. Tua - Tua is a little more dynamic of a player but he is a TO machine. Tend to agree. Caleb Williams. Not sure on this. Williams is still struggling to be consistent but his upper end is WAY higher than Bryce. He shows it fairlu frequently, as well. Probably would rather be working through Caleb's issues than Bryce. Penix - 100%. This guy stinks. Cam Ward. This is a little tough. Again, far higher ceiling on Ward and he shows flashes but it's been a mess there in Tenn. Probably lean towards Bryce here.
