its over

better prep yourself to hear roger goodell say "panthers select: micah parsons, off the ball linebacker, penn state"

I’m fully prepared for “Panthers select: Rashawn Slater, Northwestern -Offensive Tackle” and I’d be happy with that. Also will be fine with a trade down, select Darrishaw and add another 2nd/3rd to grab another lineman or maybe Jordan/Freiermuth at TE or Surratt at LB.

There are some who think he could play in Atlanta into his 40s and the idea of them taking a QB is ludicrous. I’m just suggesting that they might be doing more than the Hurney plan and looking beyond this year.

I think assuming any QB playing beyond 40 is a big assumption. It's obvious these guys can play longer now in the modern era but I don't think a lot of them will want to.

I took the article differently then the Falcons taking a QB at the 4th pick. I thought he was commenting on the Saints not being complacent in the QB room once they have their starter (Brees) and bringing that philosophy to Atlanta with him. 

Would it surprise me to see them sign Trubisky to their backup role? Nope. Sh!t happens in the NFL and you don’t want Will Grier level players starting potential important games.

I agree. They are inviting trade ups. They didn’t say anything more than GM speak if you will. Every roster spot is a competition type talk and making it seem like they could take a QB. They limit their trade down opportunities if they say, no QB you just need to trade with Cincy. 

When you look at the Falcons, they have two options: one last run with Ryan and Julio or rebuild.  Honestly, either option involves their defense.

If they want to make one more run with the current core, it was not that group that has consistently let them down.  No lead is safe with their defense.

If they want to rebuild, they are pretty much stuck with Ryan and Jones next year.  In 2022 they could get out from under both.  It won't be cheap, but it will be cheaper than hanging onto them.  They could part ways with Ryan but hang onto Julio, depending on how 2021 goes.

Trading down for multiple quality picks serves their immediate need for either case.  Sure, they are bypassing their shot at a one of the "Big Four," but they may not be interested in all of them and trading up only hampers their need to address other holes.

They are in worse shape than we are.  I think their odds at "one more run" are slim, their roster is not exactly young, and the only reason their salary cap situation is not on everybody's mind is the Saints and Eagles numbers are much worse.  Problem is the Falcons only have 42 players chewing up theirs.

      All of Bryce’s weapons that left the team

      Poor Bryce Life is just so unfair  sick of this justification  #1 picks  should be a bit more than a game manager and a ‘point guard’   Totally stupid take by the Panthers  Dont fret, he will have $38 million to make up for all the injustices he has endured  He, his family and agent, all were  also smart enough to fleece the Gm and owner of the Panthers  Bill Parcells said it best when said about Young as the number 1 pick given his ohysical limitations in a big man’s game  ‘he better walk in water’   He doesnt i want Josh Allen, not a point guard who cant see over the line and cant throw a 50 yard pass to the end zone  michah parson showed clearly what Young is  that Cowboys  defense had ZERO fear of Young’s arm   We have seen that since he has been here

      I was out on him before we ever picked him and I'm still right. He should be traded in the offseason and his 'improvement' as remedial as it is should help with that is the positive. He isn't it and the growth is going nowhere. He doesn't have it and there isn't a team in the league that's talented enough to make him look good. Just because he isn't racing Russel for biggest bust ever doesn't change the fact of how bad he is and what his limited game he can play does to the offense. 2 years the opponents have played down to the Panthers and for 2 years that is a reason for false hope. And then games happen like on Sunday when a opponent shows up hurt and angry and shows the reality of the situation. It's a dead end.

      Well I'm glad we can see eye to eye on that but it appears there are still other people not convinced. I see the Bryce situation as this. First season the team around him was bad. He was also quite bad too. Second season we went the extra mile and then some via steep investment in free agency and the draft to attempt to solve this dilemma and to the detriment of the defensive roster in the meantime. Now fast forward to 14 games into the season and we've spent a significant amount of discussion on both the defense that we put on the back burner for Bryce Young and the additions we brought in. Some of that is logical. But we have to circle back to where this all began. Bryce was billed as a franchise changing QB who would not need elite talent across the board. That cannot be stressed enough. So to me these discussions about his supporting cast or lack thereof eventually lead to me asking when does he begin elevating those around him instead of the other way around? That's what a first overall pick is supposed to do.
