Former Falcons OT goes off on Falcon fans and organization on instagram


Recommended Posts

I honestly love it. Even if it weren't the falcons I would love it. I'm glad he is saying what I am sure a lot of athletes think when  they leave a team. The fact that it is the falcons just makes it better.

I mean, the average fan is not close to achieving what he has--he messed up by engaging them.  I played at WCU and we played a game (back in the day) at Ga Tech.  We lost by 7.  When we were leaving to board our buses, there was a group of fans standing on the other side of a chain link fence mocking us because we were Division I-AA.  I did not see one person who could have played on my high school team.  But you learn that the best thing to do is ignore them. We did have a LB who was drafted by the Seahawks jump out and smack the fence in their faces--it scared me, so I know there were some engineer boxers stained that day.

 Fully agree that the best thing to do is ignore them, which takes a away their thrill of thinking they got to you.

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
