Is Gettleman doing a good job?

It's too early to tell. One full season isn't enough time.

Jerry Reese had this team so screwed up that it will take more than one or even 2 seasons to fix it, IMO Gettleman is doing fine...

Thanks!

I still think this team needs one more year. 2020 will be the season where I think they are ready to take that step to become a playoff contender. It's unfair to expect Gettleman to fix that mess with just two offseasons and little cap flexibility.

building it in the image he envisions. HIS team. keeping Eli doesn't really support that idea. but it could be the one major piece that he knows there would be a riot if he cut ties prematurely and he knows he's almost out the door anyways, so just rid the team of the rest of the non-DG type players and Eli will ride on on his own.

that being said, he believe in the trenches. as do I. and he seems to be addressing that, and for that I applaud him. his drafts seem to be fairly decent as well. I love last year's draft and word on this year's draft is predominantly positive.

I'm going to give my support to DG and say I have much more faith in him than I did with JR. especially towards the middle/end of his GM career. we'll see though. but I'd give him a solid B so far the minus or plus will shape itself this season with how we've progressed and what we end up doing with Eli.

moves with some questionable ones rolled in there too. His big free agent signings in each of the past two years (Solder snd Tate) are examples of what not to do imv.

It’s all about the draft decisions on Barkley and Jones versus the roads not taken...

Not really. It's an odd signing given the cap hits, his age and mercurial performances. If they think he's a sound veteran to learn from, then now we've got a handful of them, and we'll have to live with the cap crunch as they help train the puppies, in DG's words. But, he's really not a #1 vertical stretch the field threat meant to replace OBJ.

Gettleman is still perceived and judged by how he was hired in a large part.

If he had come from the Pats or even was Dorsey from outside the organization, I think the take would be drastically different. People would say he's been cleaning out the previous regime's mess and shoring up positions with mid-tier FA's where possible while having solid drafts.

But there is still a fairly large contingent that has conspiratorial thoughts that Gettleman was hired as a yes man. That he was recommended by Accorsi to give Eli a final ride into the sunset. That he was chosen without a real process. And so, they look at him as an extension of Mara, or even Reese and really don't judge him objectively.

If they did, they'd have looked at the Omameah and Stewart signings as mistakes that were not costly and easily moved off from. That Solder and Ogletree were here to have something to build around (and they also wouldn't exaggerate their level of play as terrible when it is average). That missing out on Darnold, Rosen or Allen isn't the end of the world, and may not be a mistake at all.

But strangely, those posters seem to only measure Gettleman on the negative points. When talking about the drafts, they say that Barkley didn't win us any games and his selection alone ruined the draft. They mock the way he addresses the press and talks about there not being a plan as a factual statement. We all wanted the stink and the attitude of the past few years replaced. It happened and people still look at it as a negative.

Gettleman's complete body of professional work is pretty damn impressive, yet most here act like he's a one-year GM with a record of 5-11 who sucks at signing FA's, who makes bad trades and who missed out on the next Elway, Marino and Rodgers.

I continually feel like we are being trolled. Not because of the negativity, but because drums get beaten over and over again with nonsensical takes. Not to mention strings of posts by a guy who uses random capital letters, spells like a 2-year old and who can barely form a fucking sentence that's legible.

There's definitely a considerable lack of intellectual honesty and player/prospect evaluation floating around since the SB draft pick.

If these are the options, I'd say mixed.

So, you're saying that bw has a fan club?

To really get a sense of how he's doing. Hes made some good moves, some questionable, and some awful - similar to most GMs.

Clearly, I think he has a style of play in mind which is control the line of scrimmage and run the football. Whether that style of play can consistently win in the NFL will be determined in the coming years.

Unfortunately, I think DG's future/legacy will largely be determined by Daniel Jones. If he turns out to be what some of his proponents claim, DG will look great. If he is awful or just a game manager, I think DG will be looked upon very differently, especially if the guy in green turns out to be something special (like it or not, that specter will be held over the franchise).

and to date they haven't been good. No one should expect fans to be content about it thus far.

Say what you want about the state of the team when he was hired, but 3-4 years is when you start looking at progression or lack thereof from a GM's tenure. If we want to bandwagon the idea of 'no players on schalarship', management should be held to the same standard too.

and it was an improved record. SO the slope is positive.

Maybe moreso a contingent that posts fairly often. But nevertheless...what difference does it make? Is this conspiracy contingent "recruiting" more posters faster than you can convince them otherwise?

Gettleman's complete body of professional work will only be considered pretty damn impressive when it starts translating to a better product and more wins on the field. Of course, he should clearly be given time to get there, and it appears as if that is indeed happening...

but I swear that someone has hijacked Jimmy Googs' account
