So... It turns out you can't poo all over respected veterans and find comparable replacements after all...

[Ivan The Awesome]

The knee jerk reactions amuse me.. freaking huddle.

And yet, with it being about money and production, completely free of any personal beef, we have one of the worst safeties in the league coming off a serious injury that will be making the exact same amount of money Smitty was scheduled to make in 2014.

 

Who was signed by......are you trying to help me make my points?

I'm not getting into back and forths...  We don't agree about what's going on right now.  You think he can still make us competitive next season.  I do not possibly see how he can replace what we have lost.  So, let's see what happens this season, then re-visit this discussion then.  Simple as that.

 

 

mind boggling that anyone who claims to know football has counted out a team that went 12-4 last year completely out on March 14th.

As was Smitty.  One was here, one is not.

 

Explain.

How did our 2008 team turn out in 2009?

 

Surely, there is no such thing as parity in the NFL!  LOL  You can't just stop, can you?

If Smitty 700 yards are what would make us competitive next season then imagine how hard it would have been to replace his 600 yards the season after that.  

 

Check Smith's number from the two seasons before. He's lost a step, but the biggest problem from last season was Shula's conservative poo offense.

Nope.  Gettleman is an unquestioned genius.  Smitty was on his last leg.  Ozzie Newsome knows nothing about building competitive teams.  Gettleman has been doing this a lot longer.

I didn't put a spin on it...  If you watched and listened to the presser, you know what Gross said.  He said, "when he first got here."  But, regardless, when have you ever heard Gross say that about anyone before?  Even in jest, that seemed out of place there.  Why say that as you're retiring?  To have said anything like that at all suggests there were still some abrasiveness between them.

 

Tidbits from the Gross presser (link)

 

9:00 - Says the team wanted him back, but were "great" when he said it was time to retire.

 

9:15 - Gross says he didn't want to leave until he felt like the team was in good hands, and now believes that the team is going to be "good for a long time" even without him on the field.

 

11:00 - Tells Dave Gettleman he appreciates him and says "you're doing a great job".  Then says he didn't like him last season (while chuckling) but then says 'I got over that".

i also never said they would win the South next year. I agree there is parity but to say that there is no chance to be competitive is a joke. God only know why you have such hatred for Gettleman. The same guy who won the division year 1. This thread is just so dumb.

9:27 - Gross says he didn't want to leave until he felt like the team was in good hands, and now thinks the team is going to be "good for a long time'.

 

11:00 - Tells Dave Gettleman he appreciates him and says "you're doing a great job".  Then says he didn't like him last season (while chuckling) but then says 'I got over that".

 

To be fair Gross is pretty classy and isn't the type to slap dicks on the way out.

All hopes is left on the draft. Really thought we would land Nicks. Was checking every 2 hours just to be disappointed.

Should we just do a thread where we divide ourselves into the two camps now, then?
