good move....

He's earned it alone

just by snagging Zak's shitty snaps.
Would the Owners

Let Gettleman make moves now if they weren’t planning on bringing him back. I would think they would say let’s wait to the end of the season and evaluate this a before making any moves.

I think this is a no brainer type move.....
At least our cap specialist nailed the punter position

Syracuse guy here.

Played in a golf tourney with him this summer here in the 'Cuse. Mutual friends went to HS with him. (I know...Cool story bro!)

Happy for him.
Good move  
Biteymax22 : 12/8/2019 9:24 am : link
Some of the players that have been playing well need to be locked up for the future. I’d ask why Golden hasn’t gotten a 2-3 year contract yet.
BiteyMax  
cosmicj : 12/8/2019 9:40 am : link
I have the same question about Golden. Maybe Gettleman is trying and they can’t agree on the numbers? Anyway, the Giants should keep trying. This team needs to not only start acquiring more talent, it needs to stop bleeding talent.

I wouldn't think so. This seems to strongly suggest Gettleman is coming back.
And there

LOL  
HomerJones45 : 12/8/2019 10:08 am : link
Yeah Dave vindicated because they extended the freaking punter after his career best year. There’s a power move.

Wait until next year and Dixon turns into Senor Shank which be about our luck.

I literally can't find anywhere on this thread where anyone is vindicating Gettleman. You seem to make up what you want to fit your pov which seems biased.

Gettlemen will be back and the follies will continue even if they bring in another hc. Bc getts will likely be gone in a few years. Constant mixing up gm and hc instead of bringing in both new and no ties to mara and co. But its ok. Lol
Dixon's done his job well. I'd like to see how much he got, but if  
Ira : 12/8/2019 10:20 am : link
it's a reasonable amount, I'm glad he's staying.
Can't wait for Dave to sign a bunch of B and C players to A contracts

Maybe. I do tend to agree with you that Gettleman will be back, but other teams have kept GMs through the free agency period and even the draft before sacking them.

Riley is OK, just referring to fact that Gettleman is likely staying.
Hmmmm  
mittenedman : 12/8/2019 10:58 am : link
Not a big Dixon fan....

But I continue to be shocked at how many people think Gettleman's job is in trouble.

There is no logic to it - Shurmur's being fired because he's underachieved given the roster. You don't then turn around and fire the GM too. Logic caves in on itself.

The Giants roster has some good young talent Gettleman has brought in. They need more but he should be allowed to keep trying especially when they all agreed this was a "clear the books" year upstairs.

More brilliance from the BBI braintrust....

I wonder if you would complain about getting a BJ?
Gettlemen isn’t going anywhere

Bank on it
While I do think DG stays  
UConn4523 : 12/8/2019 11:51 am : link
I don’t think extending a punter is any indication that he is staying. Seems like a normal move at an inexpensive position.

Exactly, signing a punter to a contract with likely very little guaranteed money isn't a vote of confidence in future management.

If/when Gettleman is let go, literally no one will look back and say, "Shit, I am shocked. He signed the punter in December, didn't see this coming."
New GM  
UConn4523 : 12/8/2019 12:21 pm : link
definitely going to clean house and bring in HIS punter, haha.

The idea that Gettleman is not coming back has never been anything but a fan fabrication borne of anger and frustration.

Shurmur might be gone, don’t think that s been decided yet, although it s possible Rivera s availability doesn’t help his case, but Gettleman I believe there is little doubt he s back.

+2. Good move, assuming the numbers make sense.
In a year with few Giants leading anything  
morrison40 : 12/8/2019 3:37 pm : link
Dixon in weeks 9-13 was # 1 with 51.1 gross punt yds and #2 with 46.1 net punt yds. Something to be encouraged about.

I was one of those "idiots". Well not replaced, but I wanted competition. There was a ton of room for improvement after a middling 2018 season where his stats were better than his actual punting. Took a big step forward, happy to be eat crow on that.
guess we can rule out
