Wilson is upset, because he wasn't given an input on who will Coordinate the Offense. Matt probably should have been pissed about Sark or LeFleur. 

Heard on the radio he wants to operate like mahomes also, wants more freedom. They said when they did that though he threw a lot of picks.

I will be glad when it all starts so we have something concrete 🤣. All this smoke and mirrors, i definitely already know the message.

What a luxury playing in the AFC East for the Patriots fans must have been for about 2 decades. A complete wasteland of horrible QBs. 

Haha for real. Express lane to the playoffs.

It's not coincidence that the 'elite' QB's near Ryan's percentage only have one SB while the ones better than Ryan have multiples. Ryan should have one too but we all know how that went. If Ryan, Rodgers, or Brees had better defenses throughout their careers they'd have the rings like Brady and the Mannings. 

Rogers should have been in the super bowl this year. Saints team was good enough to go also.

I get it though. Seems teams outside of Patriots build around elite qb. I can see why they would it. Why pay them that much and not give them weapons? Nature of the beast.

Not sure I have a real take beyond Matt plays well enough to be in these interesting little stat clusters that contain successful QBs. I'm old enough to remember 'journeymen' QBs winning SBs so I've never exactly bought into the idea the QB is the major vector of success for a SB win.

For sure. Im all about building team. Let the carry the qb not the other way. I wonder if it can be done in this nfl now.

Interesting you take this as a 'defend' Matt thread? I'm simply sharing some information I found on Twitter concerning a player on our team. I added nothing to the post that wasn't in the original tweet.

No hate towards your thread thanks for providing the info. What do you take from the info provided? All those qbs have won super bowls With simular or better supporting cast.

How often does having an elite WR core lead to SBs? Legitimate question. I feel it’s really rare.

It happened this year.

He definitely should do well with julio and rid the kid on the field complimented with the lack of a run game. 

I need great qbs to stop coming to our division. I do not approve of this. 

I liked what i saw from him once he got on the field. He just needs to take care of himself better, got knocked out the gm.

Been a lot of defend matt threads this past season.

If any corner was going to be moved to safety, I would have guessed Sheffield mainly because he appears to enjoy hitting/tackling opponents more than the others 

Oliver seemed to love to hit more to me but i could be wrong. We shall see. 

If they feel hes the guy go get em. Build around him play to his strengths and work on his weaknesses.

Im just ready for the draft.... there words mean nothing im waiting to see what action they take.

It could be trade too. 
 

Fowler? Trade for Jake Mathews(very unlikely)? Trade for Debo? Trade for Hurst? We would have to see how draft plays out. 

Haha debo yeah right, unless they use foye to take his place. Have some really good linebackers.

I honestly have no clue at this point.

 

Cases can be made for drafting or not drafting a QB at 4.

 

If the Falcons do choose to go QB at 4, then Fontenot and Smith will have to make sure to hit on those later picks and FA signings.

I agree. They may not be great but if fields has all the ability coach smith can probably develop him. Tanahill was left for dead before him. At the same time i think they tried to work woth Mariota but he busted. Dont think he has the arm fields has though.

Its really a flip of a coin sadly.

Man i wish the top of the draft was heavy with pass rush....

Give him until the draft and most everyone here will turn on him just like they will turn on A Smith. It’s coming - the draft first The GM second the OC third the DC third and AS fourth. It’s coming baby just watch and that’s even if we make thePOs

Its a given, you can't please everyone. I will give them two years.

I mean, you may have a point there. It's inexplicable to me why he's still working in that position. His communication skills are the poorest I have ever encountered in news and media. 

Yeah, its bad when you have the question planned and fumble it. I can see if you struggled answers all the questions but giving two? He was a little better with the 2nd one.

Conway or whatever her name is misused a word. I hate her stories and the info she provides.

I've noticed early drafted nose guards usually don't bring the value spent. Maybe we can draft a middle rounder that could be a steal.

What are you looking for value wise?

I feel like there’s always a best in a long time label on prospects each draft. Look at the TEs that have gone high...OJHoward, Eric Ebron, Noah Fant...I just don’t value the position that high TBH. I would much rather take Freiermuth in round 2 who can do it all.

mid actually rather a QB at 4 than Pitts and I’m not for a QB that high, but the positional value helps justify it to me.

Yeah a TE is nice to have but not a deal breaker if you dont have one.  😉

 It takes a lot more than bad play calling to make you finish 4-12, and to have 3 straight losing seasons.

Ouch that one hurts but i agree.

One could also argue this stat doesnt mention offense at all. Its purely about defense and its construction in both eras.

True, stats can be subjective as well.
