xcomm Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Signing a guy like Turner does several things for us:1) Makes us a legitimate contender to be considered for other free agents in years to come.2) Brings the right type of attitude to the team.3) Brings the running style we really need, especially with questions at QB4) Gives the Falcons positive press instead of all negative material.5) Shows that this team wants to winEven if Turner becomes a bust, we signed a free agent that several teams would have loved to have had on their team. We have a huge win column in the free agent market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert L Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 xcomm (3/2/2008)Signing a guy like Turner does several things for us:1) Makes us a legitimate contender to be considered for other free agents in years to come.Well, I think Blank has been considered one of the best at closing in on FA's already. BUT-saying Turner automatically makes us a contender for FA's...how so? I mean we signed him, yes...but he doesn't solve the teams offensive woes...2) Brings the right type of attitude to the team.Definitely agree here...more are needed like him...3) Brings the running style we really need, especially with questions at QBAgree again...well, so long as we get some ppl to block for him...NO runner can succeed without blocking...4) Gives the Falcons positive press instead of all negative material.How so? And there are current members of the team that do that now. Negativity for whatever reason sells papers...sucks, but it's true...5) Shows that this team wants to winWell, I think that has been a given since Blank has been here...Even if Turner becomes a bust, we signed a free agent that several teams would have loved to have had on their team. We have a huge win column in the free agent market.Errr, if he becomes a bust it is a LOSS in that column period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconfansince66 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Good points. We need something positive happening with this club and this signing was a positive thing. We've been in the headlines of the FA today for a change and another thing was Turner didn't even bother to go anywhere else. I do hope he does well for us and a lot of the fans are happy with this signing. Many of us, myself included, had waited on here most all of the weekend waitning to hear if he would indeed sign here.This does give us some serious momentum and should give some of the other FA's confidence in coming in for a potential signing. It also should give any draft picks the confidence that the new organization is serious about putting together a winning team for years to come. I must say this, and that is that this fan of over 40 years has something to be excited about which isn't something I'm used to rooting for this franchise.

xcomm Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 You cut me deep Legion.As for the Turner signing, even if it is a bust, it is the best news we have had in a year. Who knows, this may open up trades that weren't an option before hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
