Turner the Burner overweight?

I certainly wouldn't say that Turner is overrated by any means. He is a very productive back and has been for years. I remember when he became a FA, I was hoping that we'd sign him. That obliviously didn't work out, although I'm more than happy with D Will and J Stew (hoping that J Stew stays of course). Turner seems to have our number everytime we play each other. With our top defensive players back and adding in last years best tackling LB in college, I hope we can finally stop him and shut Falcon fans up.

Last year at home he had 21 carries for 76 yards 3.6 avg, it was our shitty pass-defense that couldn't stop Ryan.

didnt he get injured by half time in that game? i went to that game but dont remember for a fact.

i'm not sure about 2011 but that definitely happened in 2009. snelling killed us after turner went out but we survived thanks to a missed chipshot field goal and matt ryan throwing an awful interception right into i think richard marshall's arms when they had the ball at midfield with 4-ish minutes to go.

Happened in '09.

I remember that game TOO well. First, because we whooped Atlanta. Second, Turner just went bonkers. On just 9 rushing attempts, he ran for 111 yards. But don't get it twisted. It wasn't on some long run that makes that total misleading. No, he was tearing off 10 yarders and so just about every time he got the ball. We couldn't stop him. Thankfully he got injured or else we might lose that game. It was actually weird too because with Hollis Thomas, our run defense had gotten so much better around this time. Even shut down Adrian Peterson, well at least compared to how he does against most other teams (you can't truly shut down AD).

This guy is a Panther killer though. In just 8 games, he has ran for 783 yards, 4.55 YPC, and 11 touchdowns. And since he has joined Atlanta, they are 6-2 against us.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
