This makes it so tough. If we knew this would happen, it makes so much more sense than going after Watson. Wilson on a 4 year rookie deal vs Watson at 38 mil per. I know Watson is the sure fire thing, but it would be hard to pass up a legit talent that cheap.

This is why the Dolphins passed on Drew Brees. I'm sure they're not nearly as smug in hindsight.

Yeah but come on, he only had fifteen years, a Super Bowl trophy and several trips to the playoffs.

Big deal, right? 😕

Cool then. Already had shoulder surgery. No thanks.

A torn labrum is what this guy had in 2005. Ended up having a pretty good career, despite being damaged goods. Just sayin'.

By the Numbers: Saints' Drew Brees historic game vs. the Colts -

Now we can go back to hatin'. Carry on.

Edit: This was also covered on the previous page. This is what I get for stepping away and coming back 😅

Not necessarily. 2022 and 2023 are the obvious times that the Falcons could get out of his contract(although the dead cap will be painful). If you bring in a younger guy to sit for a year or so, you can always cut or trade Ryan. 

IMO, they aren't likely to do that. I just don't see Ryan as the reason they cannot get over the hump. 

His contact is massive and his play and health are good. I just don't see why you waste the pick when you can have the best WR or best CB in the draft.

Matt Ryan hasn't been the problem in Atlanta, it's been their inconsistent OL and running game paired with a defense that was jekyll and hyde and that is in decline.

I would be surprised to see the Failcons go QB as that isn't really a pressing need, but I guess weirder things have happened.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
