Falcons Sign Stephen Jackson

[SauceBoss]

Maybe we are leaving rivera out to dry lol

We are.

Probably my favorite player in the league outside of Carolina. He put up huge stats for the Rams for years running behind terrible OLines and being their only real offensive threat which meant defensives could key in on stopping him.

He's clearly past his prime but if they split carries with him and Rodgers I can see him doing very well there.

Also don't underestimate the value of adding a quality vet whose only purpose of continuing to play in the NFL is to win a championship.

IDK, I was just blown away that a guy like DRC went for a one-year deal and despite his shortcomings, he's still considered a top-tier guy. And we have yet to do anything of significance aside from purging our already troubled defense of quality players.

People are don't mind Gross not restructuring and are okay with Gamble being released. My guess is, if Gross was playing for ATL, he already would've been released if they had a options like Campbell behind him and the draft to choose from - just as they did with Abraham, Robinson, and Turner.

[PantherAZ]

Ugh. Fug it. I quit.

[4Corners]

Saints just signed another CB. They don't have money. Stop being such a chicken little.

Hey Bro Rogan - u said I was "over reacting" in the other thread, lets say Asamough heads to NO, and Revis to the Bucs, I'll give you any draft you want and any reasonable/realistic panther FA signing.

Do you think the panthers can truly compete for an NFCSOUTH crown next year?

EDIT- open question to all btw

Until I see and experience otherwise, I will have faith in Gettleman and his strategic view and not react like prepubescent girls about tactical choices. If people didn't realize there would be some pain in the present for long term viability, I don't know what to say.

its Steven, not Stephen

the falcons have absolutely nobody at defensive end now and no first round pick.

e: scratch that they do have a first round pick but they won't be able to replace abraham's production with anyone in the draft and their depth at that spot is still awful

U gotta have faith in the guy he's been on the job a couple months. It took some fans around here 7 years to realize Marty didn't know what the hell was going on.

So what exactly qualifies as the present to you because it seems a whole lot to me like this is the same line we've been fed for five years now

That's the problem. Our offense IS our strength and all the rival teams are setting themselves up to contain it/shut it down. Meanwhile, our defense was our weaker unit, and all we have done since the offseason started was purge it. But, magically, we will be better than everyone else next season because we're us and they're not.

"Spending all that money won't get you out of last place, but it will still get you 2-0 against us Bucs herpderp"

"Falcons can't replace fatass turner now. gonzo gonna retire! Superbowl! Division is ours!herpderp"

I'm glad I was sitting down when I read this.

They have a 1st.

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

They have a 1st.
