Watching their glorious collapse has been a delight to watch. Their board reads a lot like the Panthers board did in late 2019. Hopeless, pathetic, and negative.

What makes me nervous is they might target Joe Brady or at the very least, lose out and get Trevor Lawrence and a decent coaching staff and turn things around quickly. If we are any example, a new coaching staff can turn a sorry roster into a competitive team in one offseason.

I think they have enough talent that they can win enough games with an interim coach to take them out of the Lawrence/Fields sweepstakes. They could be in position for Lance but I think they're more likely to stick with Ryan who has not been the issues this year or last. I guess they could target Brady but I kinda doubt he gets any legit HC interest this early. I worry they get Bieniemy from the Chiefs and he proves to be as good as many think he is.

In their defense, Matt Ryan really did look like poo today. They might be right about him being washed. If he is though, they're fuged. There's still about $50M in guaranteed money left in his contract AFTER this season.

Ryan was atrocious today.

They have major cap issues, and Ryan's deal is at the heart of it.  I think they had to have consulted Hurney on that contract.  They have some talent, but as a team they are aging rapidly, expensive, and have a bad habit of checking out of games before the win is sealed.

Dimitroff's chair has to be feeling pretty warm these days, too.

They have one more year of Matt Ryan until they can cut him loose without a big cap hit. Good opportunity to draft a young QB and break him in. Either way this Falcons team couldn’t get any worse. They remind me a lot of late 2019 Panthers. If they hire a good staff, that team will turn around quickly.

The falcons next three are the most winnable on their schedule I think they pick off at least one maybe two of Lions/Broncos/Vikings...  The Jets on the other hand IMO are going to be the nfls third 0-3 team.

That’s why we need Quinn to get fired now and the interim coach gets them to win a few games and not draft Lawrence.  I don’t think Brady will be gone after only one year.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
