It is stories like this that make me glad we have the owner and general manager that we do. Gettleman wouldnt have been hired if the Big Cat didnt agree with the direction he was going to take the team, and its obvious that Gettleman is building this team to be a perennial contender while maintaining financial stability. Yes, it takes alittle longer, but the results will be worth it. the plan all along has been for 2016 to be the year things open up, and we already have a strong roster. 

meanwhile, Arthur Blank cuts the knees out from under his front office and mircomanages everything, and puts undue pressure on a new coaching staff to win now with a roster that is bound to fail at that task. if it weren't the Falcons, i'd feel bad for them. But as it is... i'm afraid i'll have to relish the tailspin. i do feel bad for Falcon fans, because i know i wouldnt want to spend my money on a team promising me years of depressing football seasons in exchange for the hope that the largely flawed current roster can make some noise this season and maybe next. 

i dont want to get ahead of myself, but if the NFC South continues its current track, its going to resemble the AFC East or AFC South of the past decade, with the Panthers assuming the role of the Patriots or Colts, respectively. the other organizations are terribly run and are frantically reaching for anything that will prop the window open just alittle longer. Well... i guess thats not entirely fair. The Buccaneers are trying to get back on track. but the jury is still out on the moves they've made the past couple seasons. 

in other words, its a good time to be a Panther fan. Keep Pounding everyone. ;)

I can't really blame Blank for his stance. Mike Smith came along and rebuilt that team with a lot of talent and under him they proceeded to under achieve...they have under achieved for awhile now when they had the talent to win.

So they got rid of smith and kept the GM and I'm not surprised  Blank is in win now mode..as mentioned in the article Matt Ryan's window is closing when it comes to his prime years.

The NFC South may have the most dysfunctional owners as a whole of any division in professional sports in the history of Western Civilization.

I love JR for what he did back in the day but he is not a "present company excluded" type of guy in this discussion.

 

 

 

 

Thank God for Gettlebritches.

<The Falcons hope Quinn's prowess will improve a weak defense and conjure up a pass rush that was nonexistent last season. The offensive line and rushing attack are concerns entering the 2015 season, but Blank's reasoning behind his win-now mentality is sound: Matt Ryan. >

 

Shlt-pants?  He is your savior? 

 

Bless.

      Why I Believe That We Will Trade Down

      By Martin · Posted

      I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.

      I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
