Yup.  I'm not sold on Pickett or Willis and our defense will eat either of them alive.  The Falcons know we are interested in a QB.  To get their guy, they are going to have to move up.

If you (and others) are not sold on Pickett or Willis, what makes you think the Falcons are? They may not want either guy, especially if they have to give up a lot to get them. If Ryan is traded I'm not so sure they'd move up. They may take the best player available and use this draft to lay a strong  foundation and zoom in on a QB next year.

So they are copying what we should be doing?

Nah, just up to the Jets.  The Giants may be in play for a QB.  It's doubtful that the Texans or Detroit take one that high.  I think the Texans sit tight and take their guy next year in a MUCH better QB class.  Remember they just got a TON of draft capital.  Same with Detroit. They are on the hook with Goff for 3 more seasons.  No need to draft his replacement right now.

Oh yeah I was just saying since I hate the falcons, wasn’t something I thought they’d do

I'd go out and outbid them for Mariota and force their hand.  I know, a complete d*ck move, but hey, we are talking about the Falcons!

I'm worried less about it being a dick move than I am about the fact that I don't think Mariota is that good.

Definitely don't think he's good enough to want to outbid a team that actually wants him.

He doesn't have to an All Pro, just better than Darnold...and yes, just a stopgap until next draft.

      Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.

      I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.

      Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
