Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn is the favorite to land the Atlanta Falcons'head-coaching job, according to league sources, now that former Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles has landed in New York as the Jets' coach.

Yup.  That's what has made the Seahawks loss easier.  There's no way we aren't the favorites to win the division again next year, right?  

 

Saints will get all the offseason hype again.                   They always seem to be the favorites to win the division,  every year.

was on the falcons board earlier today reading about the possibility of quinn.  they didn't seem particularly excited about him.  one of the gripes was that he was in and out of college and the pros for a few years and was just reaping the rewards of stepping in to an ideal situation.  as we all know atlanta is far from that defensively and some fans seemed put off by how unproven he is with sparse talent.

IF Tampa finds a QB, they'll be decent. Have talent, Evans is a problem, and the defensive talent is there. Saints, yeah they're getting blown up. 22 million over the cap for next year already if I'm not mistaken.

 

As for Atlanta, they're just honestly a mess IMO. I'm no expert on their depth chart, but outside of Ryan, Julio, Trufant, and maybe Jake Matthews, what do they have? Guys like Roddy and SJax are on their way out. Freeman was nothing this year. Their "big" FA signings last year sucked, they've proven to draft spotty at best, and the Julio trade screwed their team of potential depth. They can hire the best defensive coach they want, but I doubt he can turn chicken poo into chicken salad until they load up on talent over the next couple of years.

So, Gus Bradley builds a great defense with Pete Carroll (a former DC) and leaves for Jacksonville.  This Quinn guy takes over, gets his Super Bowl ring, and then the defense regresses a little before it gets hot at the end of this year.  He's probably going to get another ring this year, and then he gets to go to Atlanta and we will all find out if he can actually build something, or if he's just another guy who took advantage of someone else's foundation work.

 

I don't think I would be excited if I was an Atlanta fan right now.  But then, I would have to cheer for Melty Ice, so that whole excitement thing wasn't gonna happen anyway.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
