Falcons - The Magicla Turnaround

I like your optimism.

 

am I wrong though?

where were we bad outside of qb and coaching? #2 receiver?

 

LOL if we pay cousins $50 Million a year

 

i'm not saying you're wrong. I hope you are right. I have just seen so much mediocrity out of the Falcons that I can't help but think the improved defense last year was an anomaly. Seems like we had a pretty damn decent offense for much of the 2010s but never had the defense to back it up. Then the one year we decide to punt on offense with Ridder, the defense puts out a pretty decent season. I think Cousins could come in and get us to 10 wins, but the idea that he makes us a super bowl contender is laughable. we would get rolled by any of the elite teams in the NFC in a playoff game.

 

I wouldn't really get what the Falcons are trying to accomplish by signing Cousins. I admittedly have near zero faith in the ownership and front office. Maybe it'll be different this time. lol

 

Is Fields out at this point? I’d rather have him on a cheap show me year for a 2nd/3rd than Cousins at half the cap.

 

This is me. You take a shot and could possibly have a starter of the future. If not you're out a 2nd round pick. Seems worth it to me.

 

Fields can’t distribute well enough. I don’t think he’s a fit for the offense we want to run. If we want a young guy, we should just trade up for McCarthy or maye. Whoever is the 4th qb so we don’t have to give up too much

 

Trade UP for McCarthy? He’s gonna be a terrible pro.

 

Fields isn’t getting traded without an extension in place

 

I mean, it’s not who I want, but the nfl seems to think he’s in the same class as the other guys

 

Reading the Graziano and Fowler article on ESPN+, it looks like Cousins is more than likely going to stay in Minnesota and the 2nd rounder that the Bears want seems to be less likely as of right now. How would you guys feel about Mayfield if he doesn't sign with Tampa? Robinson was his QB coach for his short stint in LA so it might be easier for him to fit immediately into the offense.

 

please no, we just need to draft a QB.

 

Well you will be happy to know

 

I am glad we didn’t give Baker Mayfield a hundred million dollars

 

Bucs running it back bc they won a wretched division seems bad but what do I know

 

that’s how much I’ve spent on your moms onlyfans

 

Not huge news but it sounds like Matt Ryan is going to officially retire.

 

Zach Klein is hinting at something and I assume it’s QB(Cousins)

 

he’s the most plugged in in the market

 

Love seeing all the pass rushers get signed.

 

Is the OL good enough to keep cousins upright and effective? Post-injury he's going to be an absolute statue back there.

I am trying to figure out ways we sign him where I am not underwhelmed. Can't get myself there ATM

 

Not sure about 4 years, but he's probably the best choice.

 

I think I was way more concerned about us selling the farm to move up to pick #1-3 or doing something similarly dumb for Fields so if you compare just signing Cousins to some absurd deal I probably accept that decision.

 

Let’s see the what the numbers look like but based on Minnesota response. It’s gonna be absurd

 

Twas indeed absurd

 

God dammit, yeah that's a lot of money

 

A lot of money, but front loaded

 

Seems like a lot of money to win enough the next few years to still not be able to draft a qb.

 

It’s a 2 year deal. Now draft a qb and develop him.

 

welp at least it's front loaded

 

Not a huge deal but wouldn’t cousins have to buyout all the Kyle Pitts jerseys if he wanted number 8 and also get Pitts to agree

 

Lot of money, but now we have a qb and we can go bpa in the draft.

do think we need to get a 2nd/3rd round qb and try to develop. Prefer turner at 8

 

I like it. Lowest risk option and we have the roster to win now in our shitty division. Keep the #8 pick too and are able to get best available too.

 

We thinking wr or edge?

 

Hopefully Verse'n or Turner'n at 8

Maybe not the worst idea to get another weapon at WR.

Defense-heavy draft? How's the OL looking?

 

I think our oline is as solid as it gets.
Pass rush or pass catcher, but preferably edge. We already have a 1 wr

 

The guy who has 6 TDs in 2 years is a WR1?

 

We love to avoid UGA players unless they are blocking TE’s
