agree, we wanted an owner like this for years.  What's funny is as soon as we get it all I hear is "he's trying too hard" and "its embarrassing".  Season 1 Sport GIF by SHOWTIME Sports

 

I think wanting to pursue big names and all that is great.

 

What I don't like is that HE is the one that is in these meetings and leading the charge.    It needs to be the football guys doing this.   Hire smart guys and let them do their job.  And give them leeway to do things their way.

Also sheena’s tweet about falcons talking about “pieces around deshaun”. Literally every team has done this that is involved. Including us.

 

Yes I was thinking the same, except we are in a better position to actually do that than both teams. This all seems so odd.

Yep. Exactly. I’ll take aggressively trying to build a winner over “we just want to have a big happy family” any day of the week

The truth is right now Deshaun probably is concerned with what community would accept him the most. The answer to that is Atlanta, no doubt. Hard to put a price tag on not getting heckled or chastized when out and about.

not disagreeing with you, but I will say that he is the billionaire.  If I was a star Qb I would appreciate the owner coming to me more than his chronies.

Hey would absolutely get heckled and fuged with in Atlanta too.  Its not like they're some monolithic society down there.  Im sure there are many, many people who live in Atlanta who are disgusted with Watson, just like anywhere else.

Why isn’t cleveland in the mix? Last I read the brass went down to meet with Watson yesterday.

I can respect that too.   The part that bugs me is the reading the reports about him forcing his football decisions on his staff.  That's not using his influence in the right way.   And him not firing Rhule and keeping Hurney but hey, that's another issue.

      I encourage you to go back and watch his college play. Notice how he immediately backpedals to 10 yards behind the LOS on almost every snap. You can't do that in the NFL. Your OTs have no chance of keeping those freak show edge rushers off of you. You can't create a pocket that deep. Bryce can chuck it when he has an airport runway in front of him to step up into. There's a reason why "ease of creating velocity" is such a talking point evaluating QBs. It's not how hard or how far you can throw the ball given a perfect situation. It's how hard and how far you can throw the ball in a typical NFL game situation and that's where a lot of my concerns with Bryce were going into the draft. There were way too many plays in his college tape that if you were watching that purely in terms of translating it to the NFL it just didn't work.

      cam Newton makes his return to Madden football

      Yeah, like I said I get it. From a revenue perspective I'm not a good customer for them. They've probably intentionally tanked offline franchise mode to try to get people online. Again, not a terrible strategy from a pure business perspective. I can't really be mad at them for doing what's good for business but yeah, from my perspective it still sucks.

      Ok let me be more specific. Smith was a stud before Newton got here do you not agree? Yes, LaFell improved under Cam but then had his best years after leaving the Panthers with Cam as the QB and going to NE. So he improved playing with someone else. Olsen was in Chicage the year before Cam arrived and statistically had the same numbers his first year with Cam.  Hope that's clearer for you.
