Holy poo @ Atlanta Falcons

loomis' dark magicks have made the cap pointless

Not really, they’ve been in cap hell for years and that’s why they had so many straight 7-9 type seasons despite having Brees. Only thing that got them out of it was an outstanding (damn near perfect actually) draft in 2017.

Both the Aints and Cons are in the same box which is the most beautiful thing I’ve seen 

Difference between the two is that recently, the Aints have balanced their spending, while the Falcons cap hit next year will have 70 million in three offensive players (Julio, Matt, and Jake Matthews).

 

The Falcons manage their cap space like a fan base might, instead of as a smart GM might.

they could bounce back quick. if that defense was even middle of the road they'd be a great team

I dunno.

They don't have an abundance of draft picks. They will probably be drafting top 3, especially if Ryan is hurt.

They have no cap space, so they'll have to get creative on that front. 

They're locked in to Ryan and Julio for at least three more years, so you'd think the next coach is going to come from an offensive background. 

The next GM/FO person is going to have to deal with that hideous cap situation and two franchise players on the wrong side of 30 with horrible contracts. 

Honestly, if they end up with the first overall, it might make sense to see if you can move Ryan. See if a team like the bears can send a 7th and just take him off your hands. 

Julio could be moved but not to many teams, and again they're not going to get anything for him. Someone like the Colts could absorb that hit easily.

    • You don’t even need 1b because Tepper is the only one foolish enough to wheel that deal.    Player wise? Jake’s elbow. JR and Pep getting sideways, no Carruth, Cam’s shoulder, Luke’s concussions, it would be a long list of stuff. You can take it down to certain plays in games. Fox chasing 2 point conversions in the SB would be on my list. RMJr slipping at the end of that same game was not helpful. 
    • Ultimately this just amounts to heavy revisionist history. I mean you aren't talking to someone that just popped out the womb a week ago. I was here all throughout the predraft process. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase felt like this was a fine situation and the best situation for a rookie QB to go to compared to Houston for example. The hype for Young and our "rockstar" staff was off the charts. No one could dare speak cautious skepticism of his abilities or they would be neg repped into oblivion. Only after he had one of statistical worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years did we get this narrative now that his rookie season actually shouldn't count. Complete malarkey if you ask me.
    • On the field? Since I guess it qualifies as multiple instances it might not count, but have the damn refs throw some flags on illegal hits to Cam's head in SB50. If that doesn't count, 1A. Cotchery caught it 1B. Kasey keeps that kickoff inbounds. Off the field? 1A. Team is sold to anyone but Tepper 1B. We have the patience not to mortgage the franchise on that Bryce trade. Stroudwpuldve been the better pick but he's not worth it either.
