For those upset we might not draft offense with #1...

It would be dumb to at this point. Rivera pretty much said what I have thought this season. 'But we had the 32nd ranked offense....waaaaaah'. Yeah we did and there was good reason.

First off we DO have an outstanding OLine....when healthy. This OL put up TWO 1000 yard rushers a year ago and gave the QB time to throw. We for a majority of the season had a makeshift line due to injuries and sometimes that happens. Name the best OL you think is out there, then yank up to 3 starters at one time for most of the season (esp both tackles) and honestly think about how they would do.

Next, we had a lot of youth at WR. These kids are learning on the fly. I personally thought they did pretty damn well all things considering.

Clausen. I have said he is nothing but hype, well I am right and wrong. I do believe Clausen was thrown in the deep end and there is no way in hell you can truely evaluate him. There is no way anyone can honestly draw any asumptions about the kid. Rookie QB, OLine beat to hell due to injuries, both top RB's out at some point and young WR's. Sorry but we MUST give this kid some more time and put him in a good position with some good help THEN evaluate the kid.

Coaching and system. The system ( if you want to call it that ) and the coaching (I wanna laugh when I say that word with the previous clowns) absolutely sucked.

Lastly, there is no talent in this draft on offense now that Luck went back, that is worth #1. You do NOT EVER take a WR #1. No way in hell. QB? We must give Clausen time, bring in a vet and let him run this while Clausen develops. We don't need RB's, a TE can be found later. We can upgrade Guard in Free agency or later in the draft. I think Defense will be the pick at #1 if we don't trade down which is my choice. Trade down and let Rivera have plenty of picks to build this team with.

When you're thrown into the deep end, you don't have to swim for your life, just float around long enough for someone to save you.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)

      looks like the Lions and Bangles should forget about the playoffs, trade everyone they can, and start over.
