pretty funny...especially assault #23.  Falcons board melting

@TheToddNewberg
So to recap, in the past 5 days the Atlanta Falcons have…
-> Restructured Matt Ryan for more cap space
-> answered a phone call from Deshaun Watson
-> became his 23rd assault 
-> lost franchise QB Matt Ryan and ate over 40M in dead cap (see above)
-> Acquired Marcus Mariota

I have a hard time imagining Matt Rhule taking a "project" when he has no guarantee of being here beyond this season.

So you are saying smokescreen or Rhule thinks he can pull off a successful season.  Even Matt Rhule isn't dumb enough to think this is a playoff team with a rookie QB.

I think Howell could be the best of the bunch when all is said and done.  He has many of the same skills.  I am not a good evaluator of QB talent.  Some of my highlights:

1. I laughed at KC when they drafted Mahommes.

2. I thought Hurney's visit to Oregon's pro day to watch Herbert was a smokescreen (since the only QB from Oregon who was ever worth a damn was Dan Fouts)

3.  I thought Josh Allen was a bust waiting to happen.

4. Back in the day, I could not decide between Ryan Leaf and Manning--I grew up a Colt fan.

So my eye for QB talent is abysmal.

So you're telling me your not applying for Mel Kiper's job.  LOL  Than again you probably could do better than Mel Kiper.

I just have this gut feeling whoever takes Howell is going to have a good QB.  Last year at Carolina he had zero help (as compared to 2020).  It's hard to replace 4 NFL caliber players (2 WR and 2 RB) in one season.  After 2020 many had him as the top prospect going into 2021.  

I'll be interested to see how much his stock rises, if at all, at his Pro Day on 28 March.

I got this off the Carolina page.  Howell working out for his Pro Day.

Pickett is almost universally considered the most pro ready quarterback in the draft class.

Add that to the fact that he has history with Matt Rhule and I think a serious possibility emerges.

    • Some of y'all got sucked back in last week.  I knew it was one of Bryce's 'flash in the pan' moments.  Like a 12 hour wall clock with a dead battery, it's going to be correct twice a day.  Well, Bryce is good for a solid performance about twice a season. Did anyone get offended when the commentators credited Fitzgerlad with the GW points in 3 games?  Like I said in another thread, if the FG kicker puts up the points to surpass the opponents score, they should get the credit for the win, not the QB that couldn't get the TD to seal the victory.
    • Yea he was flying around and want to believe he had 2 TFL.  For a guy playing his first game, great game given CMC and Kittle are middle field aces.  Bam had that LB look in eyes a few plays too, I was impressed with the plays he made as well.  Maybe LB group isn't the worse in the NFL.... 
    • I still say Tepper’s flaw is bad hires….but the rest of the bad after that is his hires. I still say Bryce is a Panther front office issue (Morgan and company) more than anything.  They are the folks that sold Tepper on Bryce.  The face at the time was Fitterer…..and Fitterer got fired for the collective mess that was 2023.  Mainly the Frank move who I think basically gave up practically.   I don’t think any coach has ever wanted Bryce.  Frank didn’t.  Tepper didn’t get in the way of Canales benching and moving on from Bryce a mere 2 games into the Canales era……but Morgan kept the deck so the Bryce comeback could happen and then sold this season off it.   I think Morgan peacocking about one random Bryce game speaks to the real folks dug in and wanting to be proven right on Bryce
