Doesn’t scare me as a hire at all. Canales is the much more exciting hire on the right side of the ball 

It should scare you. Falcons only weakness is QB. I think they have the resources to get a QB via draft or trade.

 

I expect them to win the division next year.

I gotta diverge from the Huddle here…. I actually think it’s a good hire. Morris has come a long way since he was the head coach of the Bucs. He spent time under Mike Shanahan in Washington, Kyle Shanahan in Atlanta, and Sean McVay in LA. That’s a pretty great group of coaches to work under to hone your craft. And it wasn’t like he was a total failure in Tampa when he was really young. Josh Freeman’s Adderall season was pretty solid. 

I was hoping they were going to hire Belichick.

I think this is a better hire than Vrabel or Belichik would have been for them. He's a good coach who a lot of players want to abd will play for.

I wasn't worried about them getting Belichik cause I think he's done. Vrabel would have been a Reich style hire.

It caught me off guard. I don't consider him a retread because it's been over 10 years since he was one and he was really young when it happened.

I wanted Canales more,but my 2nd and 3rd options were (not in order) Evero and Morris.

Again I probably don't know what I'm talking about, but I think this makes them more of a long term threat in the NFCS.

There is some reasoning that Vrabel would want Smith to return as his oc. Even if that wouldn't be happening in Atlanta, the connection might be awkward.

So, in regards to Morris, they had him there as the interim post-Quinn. He wasn't good enough then, but 3 seasons later?

Atlanta is a qb away from being something. Morris helps with that how?

I don't really care either way, I just think it's an odd choice, but that's probably me.

lol wow. 21-38 career record as HC including a 4-7 stint as Falcons interim HC already. definition of bad retread hire.

I wouldn't have been upset if the Panthers hired Morris. The interim stint I don't hold against him and his proper HC record was 13 years ago. Raheem has paid his dues, he was promoted to HC when he was like 32 years old. He could flame out still, but low key I think this hire could work out better than if they had gotten Belichick.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      That doesn't void his contract
