Yup.  I'm not sold on Pickett or Willis and our defense will eat either of them alive.  The Falcons know we are interested in a QB.  To get their guy, they are going to have to move up.

If you (and others) are not sold on Pickett or Willis, what makes you think the Falcons are? They may not want either guy, especially if they have to give up a lot to get them. If Ryan is traded I'm not so sure they'd move up. They may take the best player available and use this draft to lay a strong  foundation and zoom in on a QB next year.

So they are copying what we should be doing?

Nah, just up to the Jets.  The Giants may be in play for a QB.  It's doubtful that the Texans or Detroit take one that high.  I think the Texans sit tight and take their guy next year in a MUCH better QB class.  Remember they just got a TON of draft capital.  Same with Detroit. They are on the hook with Goff for 3 more seasons.  No need to draft his replacement right now.

Oh yeah I was just saying since I hate the falcons, wasn’t something I thought they’d do

I'd go out and outbid them for Mariota and force their hand.  I know, a complete d*ck move, but hey, we are talking about the Falcons!

I'm worried less about it being a dick move than I am about the fact that I don't think Mariota is that good.

Definitely don't think he's good enough to want to outbid a team that actually wants him.

He doesn't have to an All Pro, just better than Darnold...and yes, just a stopgap until next draft.

      Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
