All blown to hell, only to have the guy you recklessly, aimlessly and improvidently spent all of that capital on to replace, come in, off his couch, and have the most productive day you have had from a QB in two seasons.

And you still found a way to lose.  fug you Matt Rhule.  You don't deserve this team.  Go back to hocking flood damaged cars on a rot lot somewhere. 

I was afraid I’d disagree with this post.  Avoided it for a while.  Now that I’m here, 

yep.

Nailed it Diddy.  Cam did more than enough to win and Rhule fugged it up.

So you really think Fox and Ron didn't have a hand in picking the players??

So Marty for 10 + years was the one not listening to coaches and picking players to fit his philosophy alone??

They didn't have final say. Fox said he couldn't "shop for his own groceries" that was a quote in the papers back then. Ron came in and soon had deal with Gettleman who was a control freak.

Neither had the power to control the roster and choose their own GM.

Too much too fast without the resume.

Bottom line is we went back to Cam after allllll of this hullabaloo. It's honestly embarrassing for Rhule and Tepper.  And I can't imagine Tepper likes being embarrassed. 

Fake out released him, released Heinicke, traded Kyle Allen, signed Teddy, struggled with Teddy, fail to trade for Watson, then Stafford, then turn to trading for Darnold (for way too much), and struggle with Darnold.

Now, it's back to square one, with money flushed down the toilet and fewer draft picks in 2022.    

Guys like Heinicke, Mac Jones, etc. all playing well while we went through the trashcan circus bin to get back to where we are. Heck, might as well count Hurts as well since we were in a position to draft him in 2020 R2 with an unknown with Teddy coming off injury.  

The crap thing is how hard you can see they're trying to scrap for a manageable QB and it's just not working; at all.

I agree with Gentleman  years but Fox was only saying that his final year when they Drafted Pickles.. Othet then that it was clear Fox Philosophy of not liking rookie QB was instituted.. Because they never drafted a top rated QB and only got Vets.. Also it was clear Fox didn't like drafting offensive players in General.. You can see during his Tenure it was rare to get a highly drafted offensive player other then Olinemen and RB...

Marty was here for most of these years and there is no way Marty had final say until 2010 draft..

That was ownership. The brand. After getting burned by Collins ownership was reticent. We continue to have great RBs though.

Cam was the highest we'd drafted since that debacle with Kerry. That was a good call. There's that.

That was Fox to because he took the same philosophy to The Broncos... And again they rarely drafted offensive players high which is a Fox thing..

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)

      looks like the Lions and Bangles should forget about the playoffs, trade everyone they can, and start over.
