I should be mad about Hurney trading next year's first for Brown and Goodson because that pick could have been coupled with another first to get a QB that makes Jake look good in comparison?

I swear the Rooney rule is the only thing keeping you guys out of an NFL front office.

Naaaa... I think with this years QB class we can get a steal in the early 2nd.....

Brown and Goodson are worth the $$$$$$

BUT

Everyone should be pissed off about the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ pep cost us...

The only reason folks are mad about the draft is because we are giving the 49'rs a top 15 pick....

Could have been one hell of a QB...... bUt I would rather pay 2nd round $$$$ when he wont start in 2010 anyways (unless he just is insane in pre-season- which is VERY UNLIKELY)

Most of the people who are mad about that whole situation, I think, are thinking that any quarterback drafted in the first round is an instant franchise quarterback. It's easy to slip into that line of thinking when you see the Ryans and Flaccos, Sanchezes and Staffords of the league playing better as rookies than our vet is.

Of course, no team is guaranteed a franchise quarterback in the first round, and for every Matt Ryan there's a Ryan Leaf.

Still, if we were able to find such a guy in the first round, would he not be worth much more to the team than a pass rushing specialist and a No. 3 running back?

Don't get me wrong, I love both players and hope that they'll really develop into quality players for us. But Fox has failed to address the quarterback situation here, whether through the draft or otherwise.

I think the trials and tribulations of a 1st round QB are more complicated and include more variables than most people would like to realize and it isn't as simple as drawing a line in the sand and delegating them to the bust side or the success side.

No, we're pissed because we traded a top 10 pick for a 4th string running back and an average, undersized, backup DE

Dude, how the hell do you know how good Brown and Goodson are going to be? I'll bet you're one of the assholes that assumed that Sherrod Martin sucked because Mel Kiper didn't sing his praises too, right?

The point he's making is that right now...Everette Brown wouldn't be considered a top-15 pick. That's what he is at this point.

Gman also proclaimed the Falcons defense was going to be better than ours this year because of Lawrence Sidbury who is dominating to the tune of one awesome solo tackle on the season. You have to consider the source.

Dude, aren't you one of the assholes that swore up and down that we blitzed a lot in the first two games when in fact we blitzed a total of nine times? Yeah shut up! Lol! As of right now brown and goodson combined are not worth a first let alone a top ten pick. hopefully that will change. I doubt it though. Brown is too small to play a 3-4 DE and goodson can't hold onto the football plus he is a shitty return man

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
