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.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
