Per J Jones....some will say this means less intensity..I say means less animosity and a better locker room. No need to fight amongst themselves when they can channel it towards the opposition.The closer this team is the more they have each others back.I would venture to say this is he first time in years that this can be said.Just some food for thought concerning the atmosphere they wanted to nuture on this team going foward.

That's great to hear. I don't mind the aggression and watching players on the bubble try to do whatever they can to make the roster but fighting your teammate is dumb. I am very happy to see we are not like the Falcons who had a lot of fights.

Rather or not teammates throw punches in training camp means nothing. How many of you have gotten into fights with siblings, or even your parents? It doesn't mean you don't love or care for them. It just means we're all human and sometimes someone can say something that pisses you off and you react accordingly.

That being said, I miss Steve Smith and I wish people would stop acting like little girls. "Oh, well we didn't need him anyways!".

While scuffles are expected and generally meaningless have we ever had a punch thrown situation that didnt involve Smith or Collins? I think there is a significant differance between skirmishes and flying fists.

This is in pretty stark contrast to what they've shown in Atlanta's camp on Hard Knocks.  They also showed a speech from Mike Smith where, I'm paraphrasing, but he basically said "One penalty can change the course of a game.  But if you're sticking up for a teammate and there are altercations, that's a good penalty."  Seems insanely contradictory to me.  If you don't watch Hard Knocks, find a way.  Then compare and contrast Ron Rivera speeches with Mike Smith.  The difference is astounding.  I have always thought Ron Rivera would be a good coach.  When we were 1-3 last year, I was finding it harder to justify his continued employment with us, but I stuck to the inherent belief that he would learn the lesson and become a great coach, because he just seems to have what it takes...just needed to learn some things along the way.  The comparison between these two, in my opinion, is why I don't think Atlanta will ever challenge us again as long as both of them are still with their respective teams.  Mike Smith sucks.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
