Bring It Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 With Dimitroff and Smitty on board, we will not see player personnel acquired just for the sake of hype or glitz, as in the miserable past. This new regime will carefully staff the team with players who possess talent, intelligence, character, heart, and loyalty. No more dimwits who can barely spell their own name and have a parole officer as their best friend, but can run the 40 with eye-popping attention. Those waste products are history.It's a new day.................a VERY refreshing new day.Be patient folks, the best is yet to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconfanjason Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 That would be wonderful if true especially since "name" free agents have busted more than they've succeeded with the Falcons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somecut8 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 i really hope what you are saying is true, because i don't want us to draft d-mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thanat0s Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I tend to agree with you on this. I'd expect less of the splashy headline making picks/signings and more of the Pittsburgh Steelers model of boring but highly productive. Heck, I'd like us to take the Steelers' cues on head coaches personally. Stop firing guys for cryin out loud and let a guy grow over a number of years. If our owner had been patient for a few more years, I'd bet my hat that Coach Reeves would've put us back in the Superbowl by now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was easy to defend against. Very, very predictable. In reality, the only reason the Falcon's made the Superbowl in '98 was because Gary Anderson of the Vikes missed an easy fieldgoal that he normally makes blindfolded. It was destiny for some reason.Anyway, coach Reeves is a solid, quality, class act............all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989Fan Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Gary Anderson didnt make us go 14-2 in the regular season, and didnt win our first playoff game for us. That team had game, and even as predictable as Reeves was, it didnt matter because Anderson couldnt be stopped even with 8 in the box. Also, Chandler had one **** of a season that year.

No big deal, it just allowed our guy, Morten Anderson, to do HIS thing. He didn't miss, did he. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989Fan Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I agree, but you said the "only" reason.....we got the the NFCCG without him (Anderson).Regardless, cheers to him missing his first FG of the season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our owner had been patient for a few more years, I'd bet my hat that Coach Reeves would've put us back in the Superbowl by now...Our owner at the time, thought he knew more than Dan Reeves and Dan had crafted a team to go, we went to the NFCCG the next year, If Dan Would have been at the helm I still believe the super bowl. And the owner would listen to the QB instead of listening to the guy that had over 30 years experience in the NFL. How much time did arthur have as a owner. 2 years at that point. Took him 5 years to figure it now out. There is no quick fix, you need to set a system up that is going to WIN over time and quit firing everybody. Look at Oakland their in worse shape then we are.

Knight of God Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Our SB appearance had more to do with JAMAL Anderson than ANY other Anderson. If we are going in this direction once again than we are Playoff bound.This was done with an average Journeyman QB by the way, not an overpaid model QB with "HYPE-BOY" wriiten all over him.
