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.

    • Think the "official time" put out was 4.48, but there were a lot of scouts there who of course all had difference times as it's all handed timed by them.  Think I saw it as low as 4.43 and as high as 4.62 or something, but in the end it's all basically the same speed because 40 yard dash is so pointless. Anyone who complains about his speed is just someone who wants a Chase/Jefferson/Nabers style #1 as opposed to an Evans style #1 who isn't going to beat you because of his speed but his other abilities. In the end, he's fast enough for a player his size and surprisingly quicker and more agile than people give him credit for too. The real problem is that Panthers fans can't get our past big WR failures out of their head, they hear "big WR" and automatically see a plodding KB or Jarrett in their minds and assume that's also T-Mac.
    • If you are buying Silver Club, 300 level, try and the buy ones that have the Lot 1 parking pass.  it is steps to the stadium Also, buy on the shade side my PSls used to be section 342, under the overhang.  I didnt care about sun or rain plenty of sites have interactive  maps that can show you   Just know, if they are opposite side of 342, the sun will beat on your head…endzones too.   if, you know for sure that you are going, and you need a hotel room, do it now  you can always cancel … remember, even if the panthers suck,  the national press follows them as do their fans.  Hotel rooms go fast for that game 
    • didn't he run like a 4.52?
