Joe Brady to Atlanta likely?

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Saints VP and Assistant GM Terry Fontenot is the favorite to become Atlanta's GM.

The Falcons first interviewed Fontenot in mid-December and clearly haven't looked back. Although a deal can't officially be finalized until New Orleans' postseason run comes to an end, Fontenot is expected to put pen to paper the instant he's allowed to. Panthers OC Joe Brady is also reportedly Fontenot's first choice as head coach.

Also, who on our staff will Joe Brady bring with him to ATL? 
 

Crazy to think our team has lost so much on offense considering CMC was out all year and Teddy Two Yards was checking down like his shoes were untied. The NFL truly is a mysterious thing...

Arthur Smith has been interviewed twice and different SPECULATION is that Fontenot has a deal in principal and is the one pitching him. So who knows.

Though could easily be interpreted as due diligence on a backup plan as they wait on Fontenot to be finalized.

Funny thing, some of the guys who already took college jobs have an out in their contract that allows them to leave for a pro position.

As far as guys that are still here, DB coach Jason Simmons was getting looks as a DC.

    • Blind squirrels and all… he occasionally gets a lane and can operate.    I don’t think he can make his living there and it is why I didn’t  think we should invest a whole lot into trying to develop that part of the offense. Like with a highly drafted TE.  I feel like with him, it is super simple; you need to make running the ball your strong suit. TEs that can block. A big OL. I am concerned about the RB room there is a lot riding on Brooks. But a great RB room. If those things aren’t strengths it will not have a chance of working. Then you need to take the downfield shots which have been missing for most of three years, maybe every down isn’t defended like we are in red zone. Because that is what teams do to us.      
    • Pretty sure that a QB contract payday is all the competition any QB in this league needs, I don't think a competent backup is going to make them play any harder when the current situation wouldn't warrant the contract extension yet anyways. Your opening point in this post is also the problem, "Bryce has shown signs of improving", but that's still all he's shown, and he's only showing that because of just how bad he was to start his career. If he played like last season from the beginning and never improved one bit, then I actually think more fans would be ready to move on from him, which is what's weird.  It's like going from one of the biggest draft busts of all time into the 25th best QB in the league over 3 years means he deserves a long term $40+ million a year contract extension. Improvement shouldn't be the goal when the result of said improvement is still bottom of the league levels.
    • Yeah, but we've seen him do it. Just not often. I think that's the reason for the taller WRs. Would likely be a problem finding someone like Jimmy Horn in the mess.
