Belichick and a QB and the Falcons own this division for a while.  Don’t be delusional 

They will trade a pick for fields and be good enough to win

Fantastic m9ve for the Falcons. Not so much for the rest of the division.

I had posted this previously in another thread too. If Chicago does something stupid and Fields somehow ends up in Atlanta, it's curtains for the NFC South with Belichick. He brings McDaniels back, they have a RB/TE-focused offense with actual threats at both positions plus QB, let alone at receiver. Fields was putting up gaudy, multi-TD numbers this year with overall skill position talent that's not as good as Atlanta's.

Oh, and the NFL and media types will foam at the mouth for a storyline of him winning a SB in Atlanta...a team that's been in a tailspin ever since 28-3 (and probably his best ring).

Bright side--maybe Tepper gets some act-right and brings in Harbaugh. Can't let Arthur Blank outdo him, right?

I'm a Fields fan so if he ends up in Atlanta with BB don't be surprised if they take over this division for the next 3 years or until BB retires.

Dude hasn't had much success at QB since Brady.  Great coach but even a great coach needs at least a good QB to be competitive. Falcons lack that...

It genuinely must be killing Belichick that everyone now equates his success to Brady - and frankly it's difficult to argue otherwise.

Obviously a good HC, but without Brady he's never been elite. 

If he signs with the Falcons, good luck to them. He's 72 and his powers have clearly waned. It's not something that would scare me as a Panthers fan.

This is being reported as a done deal and not very happy about personally

Man, I just realized that I'm so disillusioned by this franchise that my first thought was, "Good for them. I'm sure he'll do great there, and I kinda am rooting for him to prove he wasn't just propped up by Brady."

The Panthers have beaten my Panthers fandom down to the point that I'm literally becoming a "I just hope both teams have a good time" level fan. And it's sickening.

Could Kirk Cousins, Bill Belichick partner up with the Falcons?

It’s not quite Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, but the potential partnership of Bill Belichick and Kirk Cousins seems a little odd on the surface.

Maybe it isn’t.

Appearing Thursday with CBS Sports as part of a media car wash, Cousins addressed the possibilityof playing for Belichick.

“I have great respect for him as a coach, like everyone else in pro football,” Cousins told Isabel Gonzalez. “I mean, if you go to that many Super Bowls, win that many Super Bowls, go to that many conference championship games, have the defensive production he’s had for years and years, it says it all.

“We played them last year on Thanksgiving night. And, once again, I noticed several times what he did coverage-wise was challenging and it was different. You always know when you play him that you’re kind of looking over your shoulder [and] wondering if what you’re seeing is correct. Because you know he usually is going to break the mold and do something different, and that’s part of what has made him a great coach.”

So would he ever play for Belichick?

“I’m not gonna turn down an opportunity to play with a future Hall of Fame coach,” Cousins said. “But we’ll have to see where March leads. It’s just a lot of unknowns right now.”

The first unknown is whether the Vikings will try to keep Cousins, and whether Cousins wants to stay in Minnesota. With or without Cousins on the roster, he’ll count for $28.5 million under the salary cap for the Vikings in 2024.

It’s also unknown where Cousins wants to live. As Peter King mentioned on PFT Live, Cousins’s wife is from Alpharetta, Georgia — and her parents still live there. That becomes a very powerful magnet, especially in combination with the attraction of playing for Belichick.

As long as Matt Patricia and Joe Judge aren’t running the offense in Atlanta. And as long as Cousins doesn’t plan on telling Belichick that the quarterback won’t be working on Tuesdays.

I think a lot of folks are pretty comfortable that this is happening

First Tom Brady fugs with us now this dude.  The suffering will never end

Looks to me like the Falcons are the most attractive situation for the top HC's.

 

Chargers have been overhyped because of the QB. That roster is old and their cap situation isn't that great.

 

Falcons are the easiest route to win the division and compete in the weaker NFC. Should be interesting to see who they choose. If they land Harbaugh I might go in a deep depression.

Don't worry. We have Bryce Young!

Who cares, the Panthers wont be competitive for at least 2-3 years  and he will retire by then.

This. By the time we’re relevant again, Bill will either be on his goodbye tour or in retirement.
