They had a search firm for a HC in place before the game, and THAT was the last straw?  I don't buy it...

 

Arthur Blank is too impatient, and that's going to be good news for us as rivals.  He just fired a guy who averaged over 10 wins a game in his first five years because of two losing seasons, without looking at the GM for not bringing in OL talent.  Dumb, IMHO. :)

I think the Falcons tanked the game for a top 10 draft pick as well tbh.

Nope. That would be too hard to pull off. Some players are fighting for their careers. Do you think they would sit quietly and not leak an organized tank? A coach could pull off a tank with poor personnel decisions and game management, but Smith had no incentive to do that.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      It’s not new. That particular claim has largely disappeared because it has become untenable, but a few games into his rookie year when the playbook/gameplan/personnel/everything was terrible there was endless claims, posts, even threads made that Bryce Young was physically incapable of throwing the ball 20 yards downfield in the NFL. It was also argued that physically throwing the ball 20 yards in the NFL was somehow different than college. Once he threw the ball 20 yards, the goal posts moved to 30 yards, etc. I’m not going to use the search function for you, the point wasn’t as much that one claim as it was that that was one claim out of many that has made it very difficult to have a reasonable discussion here.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      I mean, I can get a ball downfield 40 yards.  There would be a couple massive issues with me doing it.   My ball placement would be off the charts bad.  Second, for me to get it 40 yards I'm gonna have to moon it......which would give DBs the opportunity to make plays on balls that wouldn't exist if a better QB were throwing it.  Which is all an exaggerated explanation of the Bryce issue.  To many play the literal game w/ Bryce when it comes defending him.  Every NFL QB likely can loft one up around 50 yards.  Every QB in the NFL can't get a ball 30 yards downfield in the same windows.  Or the same ball placement.  That's the Bryce issue.    But I also think mixed into that is just his QB DNA.    Take a young Brees, it was in his DNA to stress defenses and takes shots.  He would flat out be Delhomme-ish at times.  Which is coverage and assignment altering.  Brees would throw balls into triple coverage 40 yards downfield.  Is that smart? Sometimes it is.  Not because the play gets made but you force the secondary to play honest.
