Barley used Bijan yet somehow had 1500 total yards as a rookie? Interesting…

This. Hes the only one pushing it .

They’re both terrible, Cam isn’t a thousand times better than anyone.

https://falcons.boards.net/ Have to register to read though.

Ridley the guy that stopped playing for them after 5 games because of mental illness than got suspended the whole year the year after?

Falcons had the #5 OL in league least year by PFF. Panthers ranked #11.

Awful, prayers to the family.

Falcons won 7 games last year with a worse roster, no way they win 5 games max and if Carr is good Saints could be a 9-10 win team. Saints roster is old though.

Would be suprised if Houston went with Levis or Richardson at 2 but we’ll see. If they’re wary on Stroud should be Will Anderson.

This. Wilson’s hands are absolutely massive for his size.

Top 3 run game, top 5 OL to go along with Pitts, London and whoever else Atlanta drafts and you don’t see any young QB doing well there?

You said 20th ranked defense in a different post and falcons offense was medicore last year with a bunch of rookies….don’t see how their is no chance they improve.

I know the Falcons defense was awful which is why they went big in free agency on defense. Ridder was a rookie who they didn’t want to throw in the fire right away while Mariota already knew their offense. London looked much better with Ridder than Mariota. He had 1400+ yard pace with Ridder but small sample. Pitts was top 5 pick and had an historical rookie year that was clearly head back by Mariota this year plus he was injured. No way do DC’s not worry about him. Falcons and Panthers both had 7 wins with similar point differential so you can do that with multiple games for both teams. Falcons blew many close games they could of won with the 2nd youngest roster in the league. They literally had rookie QB, RB, WR starting at the end of the year (and Pitts injured) with a poor defense and we’re still competitive in most games.

Their OL was top 5 last year (they just made Lindstrom the highest paid G in the NFL) and they have Pitts, London and Allgeier plus the draft this year. They had the 15th best scoring offense last year with bad qb play from Mariota.

Based on this logic they didn’t last year and still weren’t bottom 5 and had the same record as the Panthers. Also Falcons QB1 has only played 4 career games.

How did Falcons get worse when they lost nobody and added 4+ starters on defense. I bet money those are the 5 worst teams, way too early to tell.

Falcons named Ridder the starter not Heinicke. They will go defense at #8 too not Levis or Richardson who aren’t even day 1 guys.

I seriously doubt falcons would take AR.

Bears have the #1 pick so they could draft Young or Stroud as the successor but I agree no team is giving up a high 1st or what it would take to trade for Fields.

Falcons have never had a defense. Even in 2016 superbowl year they had the 26th ranked defense. Mainly because they have no pass rush and I mean worst in the league literally ….they did just hire Nielson from the Saints though who was the DL guy there and had the Saints ranked #2 in sacks since 2017 so maybe he can somehow generate a pass rush. I like Smith a lot better than Rhule though. Falcons were supposed to be worst team in the league with all that dead cap space on the books bc of Ryan and Julio and he got them 7 wins with young roster and lost plenty of close games at the end. (Like early Cam years)

The Derek Carr who just got cut and Mac Jones who didn’t have a good year. And never said it didn’t matter… rushing QBs who struggle passing aren’t durable nor winning super bowls or even sniffing them..

Or maybe it’s because he shown to be a poor passer (with poor technique) which is the most important part of the position. Holds on to the ball incredibly long which shows he struggles reading defenses and then the OL gets all the blame. Never said those were great options either.

Nothing equates that to being worth a top 10 pick. Would be foolish if Atlanta or Carolina gave up their 1st pick for him.
