Matt Ryan and Jones coming back so that take a qb off the list

If they want a QB why would they say they want a QB?  Just increases the chance someone will trade in front of them to grab the QB. 
 

I’m not convinced they will draft a QB but I’m not going to put much stock in a quote in February.  

Well there are only three spots ahead of them, so I am not sure they have a bunch to worry about. Not unless they really like a specific guy. In that case, they would probably have the best ammo to trade up with the #4 pick. 

Ryan returning also doesn't mean they may not take a QB, either.

Some people are seriously high around here.  You don't draft a guy #4 overall and sit him on the bench with no chance at starting.  Yeah, I want Lance at #8 and want to slow roll him, but with TB at the helm, crap, Trey might end up winning the job in camp.

False logic.

The Falcons taking a QB has nothing to do with Matt Ryan coming back.  He was always coming back.  It has everything to do with the fact that Matt Ryan is 36.  It has everything to do with the quality of the QB class and where they are picking within that class.

There is no scenario where we draft at eight and less than four QB's are off the board before we do.

    • This is a good take it really is to the point dc needs to let the world see the real byoung b/c right now everyone in the media and tepper has had blinders on when it comes to young.  Its hard to even know where the panthers are at skill player wise with such horrible qb play.  I doubt it but legette may be a probowl wr he just cant throw the ball and catch it.  I am just so sick of every excuse in the book for byoung.  LIstened to a podcast and the guy was going over how many different options byoung had on the int and all of them were ok except for the one where he threw an int.  He said the play could be run by a hs qb and they would typically make a good decision. 
    • I certainly have my complaints about Canales but I'm not ready to fire him yet for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, Tepper has made this one of the least appealing jobs in the league. Morgan and Canales are here to begin with in large part because guys higher on the wish list take other jobs. If you fire Canales you're gonna end up replacing him with another third tier candidate who wasn't being seriously considered by other teams with openings. That's just the reality of the situation right now as far as I can tell. Secondly, despite plenty of room for critique, we are 6-6 despite the worst QB play in the league. That's really damn hard to pull off in the modern NFL. Especially when your D isn't dominant. Our D is greatly improved but is still a slightly below average overall defense ranking 18th in yards per game allowed and 20th in points allowed. Going 6-6 with atrocious QB play and slightly below average defensive play is pretty damn impressive. Even more impressive when you also factor in that we're in the red on turnovers differential at -3. When you combine league worst QB play with slightly below average D and negative turnover differential honestly you'd expect to be in play for the #1 overall pick, not 6-6 and having just played a game that a win would have you leading the division. So yeah, even though I'm far from sold I advocate for patience with Canales for the time being. If you ask me if I'm bringing him back next year, I'm a yes barring a catastrophic meltdown down the stretch which admittedly is very much a possibility.
