Lazy pick 6 and half assed tackle?

Falcons almost gave away the game as much as we did. Letting DJ run right by everyone was a great Hail Mary for us but that was also their D being stupid and doing the one thing they couldn’t do on our one weapon.

DJ ran past two defenders because he is an elite player. “Letting”

Look at our two backup QBs. Both top 5 picks. Not to mention your graphic doesn’t differentiate between top picks on their original team or whether they were acquired in free agency and then won with the second team. 

“look at these outliers I found that I was thinking of exclusively when I made my initial point before you inserted this hard data into the discussion, perhaps we should focus more on these outliers and disregard the data to better suit my confirmation bias”

There’s no guarantee that a top 5 QB will be any good. Odds are actually against it. How’s Trevor Lawrence doing? Teams that are always picking top 5 pretty much suck.

Do you use an umbrella when it’s pouring? Why, when there’s no guarantee you won’t get wet?

Why do people keep saying this? It’s logic. How’s Herbert (six is close enough), Burrow, Allen (ditto) doing? How about the old vets that went high in the draft? 

No body wants a guarantee, they want a chance, and a high percentage one at that. And there is no other avenue that gives a higher chance to have a franchise qb, especially on a rookie salary to win, than drafting them.

You’re not going to convince a worthwhile vet to come here. That literally played out already. So the only other option you’re looking at is finding a franchise QB in what? The later rounds of the draft? 

That’s definitely a more worthwhile topic talking about low chances and garuantees.

We are a QB away from being a good team. Despite how well PJ played late he missed so many throws in the first 3 quarters that should've had us comfortably in the lead. Add a Bryce Young or a CJ stroud to this squad and you have something you can really build on.

DJ isn’t the fastest WR in the league and when the other team is on their own 38 with 20 seconds and no timeouts, you don’t let a WR run by you in coverage. DJ did nothing but run straight and the defenders even slowed down. DJ made a great catch but he didn’t do anything elite. The Falcons had no business being behind him. They absolutely screwed up on that play.

There is something seriously wrong with you lol

    • Facts it's still crazy that they made him sell over that especially considering what some of the other owners have done.  JR was a rich 80 year old white man from the south I'm not at all surprised about him making some "inappropriate" comments about what a woman is wearing water is wet what a surprise. That's just the way things were done during his time, and he should and did get punished for his actions by paying some hefty fines, but it definitely wasn't something that he should've been forced to sell his team over.  I'll never forget him insulting Peyton Manning during a negotiation, reportedly belittling the quarterback’s knowledge of player safety and asking, “Do I need to help you read a revenue chart, son?
    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.
