Sorry, but I view this guy as a disapppointment. Creating dissent last year by not "buying in" and not going to class this year and letting his team down.

Yeah, this seems over-stated. Saying he "created dissent" is an exaggeration.

It seems more likely to me - and has the whole time - that a lot of the reason some guys were having a hard time "buying in" is because our scheme was so bad that when they did what they were "supposed" to do they were getting gashed. And I think changing the scheme this year with much better results but still firing the guy in charge is pretty good evidence of that.

Maybe we can just list the players that did "buy in"

I don't remember hearing the "no buy in" excuse in the last 4 games of 2015 and the first 8 of 2016.
Maybe buy in just ebbs and flows.

As Mavric put it, it seems pretty obvious that it was more of a staff issue than a player issue, considering that 3 of the 4 original defensive assistants are gone in just 2 years. S&B alluded to this.

I think that Mav and myself have actually discovered that a sever case of the "Buyinzies" does in face, ebb and flow, basically once you contract the virus it stays with you forever and you can relapse at anytime...From what I have read most common relapses will happen...

1. After an OT loss

2. During a game that you are getting beat badly in

3. During the last game of the season, but, only if it is on the road and you start losing by a lot

4. During a bowl game, but, only if it is against another team that might also have the "Buyinzies" but at a less sever level.

For instance, UCLA had one of the most server cases of the Buyinzies two years ago...while Tennessee only had a minor case.

We don't know a lot about it yet but it appears that next year there will be NO reported Buyinzies at these positions:

QB

FS

SS

LB

DL

WR

 
But so many posters on here said he wouldn't be good enough for the NFL?!?! I don't know what to believe anymore!!

It's funny that the players that have been scolded by the fans for not "buying-in" were the best/most talented players on the defense: Collins, Valentine, Gerry. Maybe those guys know what a good defensive scheme looks like and they thought Banker's scheme wasn't that good.

Wasn't that "buying in" quote actually his?

Yes, Gerry did make that comment, but was he actually saying "I wasn't buying in!!!". I thought it was a general comment about the defense overall. But, the players aren't dumb, they probably realized that Banker's D was going to cause some issues with the offenses they were facing, and we saw that on the field.

 
Gerry will start making an impact for some NFL team 2 or 3 years from now. He is a good player with good physical tools. No reason why he won't be contributing after a few years with a team.

Westerkamp can be very effective as an NFL WR but only if he gets with the right team (aka QB) He isn't the type of guy who is going to demand a ton of attention on the outside, he needs a QB who is patient and knowledgeable enough to recognize his best tools and utilize them to the fullest.

Guys on rookie contracts, especially after the 1st round, are the most desirable players to have on NFL rosters. I wouldn't be surprised if Gerry is starting for a NFL team in his rookie season. It may not be day 1, but eventually in his rookie year.

I would agree with you. I was being conservative but I share the same sentiment, he will be earning his pay on the field sooner rather than later. But yes rookie contracts are great for teams. If you pick up an instant contributer rather than a project you are going to get better play than what you are paying for 7 times out of 10

Did people actually say that? He's easily a top 3 safety in this draft.

Ehhhhh no he's not. He's more of a top 15 safety in the draft...

I guess I didn't realize he was so low in the rankings. I thought he was consistently graded as one of the best safeties in the country throughout the year. I must have gotten some bad info. #FakeNews

Sorry my wording there may not have been the best but this is the kind of post I was alluding to. Seems like there's been lots of posts doubting Gerry's talent throughout the year.
