Atlanta Talk...the fans and media want to trade away Matt Ryan

Listening to their sports radio here.  Everyone is pilling in on trading away Matt Ryan this offseason. It is pure entertainment!

Names they are throwing out are:

RG3 (imagine reuniting him with Kyle Shannahan, lol)

Colin Kap

Eli Manning

Johnny Manzell

And they are scared of the Panthers, no doubt, lol, if you can find the stream to listen online, it's great! 9.29 the game.

I heard this on the way to work this AM on 92.9.  The fans and sportscasters are out for blood.  After all the Superbowl predictions in the preseason, you would think the team was the CLE Browns now.  They are really after the OC in addition to Ryan.

I dont like Matty Choke at all, but this isnt all his fault, the GM should have been fired with Smith - he drafted poorly for years and spent a ton of money on bust FA signings.  They gave Ryan a huge deal so I doubt they dump him quick, or if they do they have a lot of dead money.  The only fan who called in who made any sense at all was one who pointed out their Oline has been dogsqueeze for years now, and that is a valid point.

One thing that has always struck me as putting extra pressure on the team is that Blank blackmailed the city into giving him a ton of taxpayer cash for the new stadium and now may not be able to fill the stadium (he also jacked up ticket prices).  Blank may be eating his hat if they dont get the team on the right track.  Frankly nothing would make me happier because Blank is a total scumbag.

There's been some chatter that Matt Ryan is having trouble with Kyle Shanahan's system.

Falcons fans thought they were going to ascend to the NFC South perennial playoff team as Brees retired and Matty Melt down entered his "prime".  Instead, they've watched Cam and the Panthers become that team, while their QB seems to regress every year.  And suddenly the other team that didn't even have a franchise QB, now has one who in his rookie year is performing at a higher level.  OUCH!

I think the fans are feeling the pressure of Cam and Jameis Winston in that division. Just when they thought they could alternate division titles with Cam with Brees passing his prime, then all of a sudden a 21 year old franchise QB pop outta nowhere ready to squeeze them out. Nothing wrong with Ryan, just he's not up to the level of Cam and Winston, thus leaving no room for him in this competitive division. Ryan would be a star in the NFC East or AFC South. As far as the NFC South is concerned Carolina and Tampa will alternate division title and wild card, don't see us sending 3 teams to the playoffs every year.

Slow your roll, let Tampa beat us for a division title before declaring we gonna alternate titles with them.  Winston has had a decent rookie campaign but it doesn't compare to Cam's rookie year.  It's taken until Cam's fifth year for him to really come into his own.  Winston isn't going to suddenly be the force Cam has become, once he closes the gap on current experience how much more will Cam have?  I think Jameis will be to Cam what Mickelson was to Tiger, a great player that isn't as great.  We're going to dominate the South for a long time, think Patriots AFC East long time.

3 years / 1000+ days as South champs already.  Do you see us regressing anytime soon?

EDIT: The last time the South had a champion other than the Panthers was 12/2/2012, exactly 1100 days ago.

Winston is nowhere near the level of Cam. And the Bucs won't unseat us anytime soon. Lovie Smith teams always fade.

    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game to go around   and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.
