This is not on Gett.

Everyone keeps blaming Gettleman.  This is not his fault.  Blaming Gettleman for this mess is like blaming the street-sweepers toiling away each morning on Bourbon Street during Mardis Gras for the huge mess.

 

This is Hurney's mess.

 

When you rip off a big ass mutha-fvccn band-aid stuck on there for 5 years and reinforced with super glue, its gonna hurt a little.

 

We are bleeding now and damn near bleeding out but Gett's view is to get this roster right sooner than later.  You cannot do that by taking on more contracts that are not a part of your end game just because you fear the alternative.

 

Every single player that we have lost is a marginal difference maker at their very best.  The only one I wanted to keep out of any of them was Mitchell but we cannot pay him what others were willing to and still be viable in FA.

 

I don't want to get into just how ineffective players like Captain are in the grand scheme and just how ineffective players like Smith have become as of late because I know from reading over the years that most of you are way too emotionally attached to your heroes to tolerate ANYTHING negative being said about them.  That said, they all got overpaid in their new contracts.  Congrats to them.  

 

Money is what it is all about.  The sooner the fans realize what everyone else involved with the NFL already knows, the better off they will be.

Smith leaving had NOTHING to do with the money.

 

Ginn? Mitchell? Sure.  But not Smitty.

 

 

Agreed.  

 

His attitude and potential for distraction finally caught up with his waning talent.  As soon as "the grief" and "the great" became a push, he effectively punched his own ticket.

So you sacrifice wins just because one guy had an axe to grind? I hear the chemistry word being tossed around a lot. How do you think the players feel right now? When asked about why they turned it around from 1-3 guess who they give the credit to?

Steve would have been very productive in the slot, and probably would have taken a pay cut if asked. Instead one man decided to just cut ties, with no replacement in sight

The blame everything that happens on Hurney mentality is getting very played out.

It's only played out if you want it to support your opinion. Hurney's contracts has put us in cap hell that is taking a couple seasons to get out of. We signed a lot of 1 year contract players last season and now they signed contracts with others teams more than what they are worth. We have to create space for the next couple seasons so that we can finally breathe and that involves many tough decisions.

Yes it did. He was owed more than he would be worth in 2015 or 2016 if we kept him this year. A mod posted it somewhere.

 

Oh yes, which is why we didn't even try to restructure with him?  Come on, snap out of it, stop blaming Hurney.  Gettleman wanted Smith out.  Agree or disagree, it's the truth.

Then ask him to take a pay cut or cut him next year when you already have his replacement on the roster. This year we are paying him more than Baltimore is. Think about that with every td, first down, and ball spin. We're paying him to make plays for another team because of some phantom "distraction"

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
