Ryan is a tier 2 QB. Brady, Rodgers, Brees are the only 3 on tier 1. Winston is more like a tier 4 QB. 

Ryan is a 4 tier QB who is the ice to Winstons crab legs. Ryan without a good run game and JJ is a pick machine.

Well now this is actually getting interesting. Im guessing Julios going to cave at some point because he wont want to miss his checks

The man has plenty of money and the offense flows through him. He controls all the leverage. It would be the same result if Smith held out in the Delhomme era. 

[Ricky Spanish]

Don't blame him for wanting more money.

I can blame him for taking such a long extension and roping him into that contract for so long. 

I see both sides, but his side was not smart from the get go with that contract. 

[Black&BlueBubba]

Can he at least hold out until week 3????

It made him the highest paid wr in football at the time lol. He wanted more up front so took the 5 year unlike AJ green that settled for a 4 year so he'd have flexibility.

Oh I totally get that, but it was a shortsighted move on his part, which is why I only have so much sympathy.

Please show the data to back up this statement.

In fact... 50 executives just rated Ryan the #5 QB in the NFL and the best tier 2 QB in the league. (Rodgers, Big Ben, Brady and Brees are the 4 tier 1)

"Matt Ryan was a hard one for me," a defensive coordinator said. "I put him as a 1 initially, but I changed him to a 2 because of the playoff stuff. They haven't won the Super Bowl. To me, if you are a 1, you have won a Super Bowl or you are just so talented that your team is playing bad around you and you didn't have a chance to do it."

Everyone better get ready for 3 year fully guaranteed contracts in the next CBA. Which means we wont have to worry about buying jerseys anymore.

But when they're cheap AND high quality, it's like they're almost free

I am sorry, but JJ should not be asking for more money. I honestly don't think he is good enough to even hint at asking for more. If someone gives the Falcons a Big Comp for Trading JJ, that team is dumb. JJ is not the face of the NFL, the franchise, or the Team, he is worth maybe a 3rd round pick. If JJ sits out, it hurts his numbers, and he is the type that "wants his numbers".

Sorry If I do not buy the hype of JJ being that good... I am the same for Bell and OBJ.. just don't think they are that good... for the crap they put teams through.

Are you an idiot? If Brandin Cooks can fetch a 1st round pick, Julio would easily get that in return.

I’d trade them Torrey Smith straight up...

I'd even throw in their choice of the lesser Kalil or Aminu

[Mr. Scot]

We're today that the team has officially offered a contract extension...to Thomas Dimitroff and Dan Quinn 

On the flipside, the general expectation is that Julio Jones is headed for a long, possibly ugly holdout.

So, because a team offered a first round pick for Cooks, that means another team should do the same for Julio? Cooks Id give a 3rd/4th round too. Just because one team offered a 1st round pick for cooks, don't mean he is worth that. I am not a Julio Homer... like alot are on the forum.
