Is it time to take the Falcons seriously?

I think it comes down to how well thier QB plays. If he turns out to be decent they will be competitive, if not, they might fins themselves in Panthers 7-9 just outside QB range territory.

7 & 10 is exactly where I’m hoping they r heading.

many on this list r older or injury prone.

but to ur point, if Ridder is solid, the South may not be as easy as we all thought.

Yes. @ShockerI believe it was you who claimed I was wrong about the Falcons this offseason. They are going to be a contender if Ridder continues to do what he did the last 3 games.

That’s fine and your opinion.  I don’t really love any of those players outside of Bates.  They are better but they don’t worry me much personally

Agree, I think the south will be more competitive then people expect.

    • 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. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
