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.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
