The defense is old and the Oline is Falling apart .. Im good that they are trying to avoid a rebuild they should be doing..

That they are.  And to some degree have been doing for a few years now.  It is reminiscent of the Hurney era here, that every year we "were only a couple of pieces away" except we 1) never seemed to acquire the proper pieces, and 2) partially because of #1, we were always a little further than we thought.

They may be hoping he can successfully make them a scavenger, like Tampa was this year.  The division is bad, and given the Bucs situation, if we don't improve (and identify a QB) and the Falcons don't improve, they can win the division.  That's a lot of IFs. 

They look to me like the Titanic.  They have hit the iceberg, have water rushing into six compartments, and they are trying to stay afloat by addressing one compartment at a time while the ship is sinking.

I'd have been much more concerned had they magically found a way to draft a QB, filling that gap on a rookie deal.

Exactly.. The team should have been on rebuild mode when Brees and Payton left.. Bit they refuse to do this and the cap magic they do isn’t for a Super Bowl contender but barley winning a bad division now.. This will blow in their faces and they have set themselves back atleast 6 years now..

This will finally blow up when Loomis retires. Dude is a cap manipulation god. Until then, it just is what it is.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
