Falcons gonna Falcon

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.

    • They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....
    • He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.
    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
