Falcon Fanatic Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 tom Baldwin (3/2/2008)faith only lasts so long. 42 years is a pretty long time.Well there are 31 other options out there for you to explore and I am sure one of them would just love to have someone put them down when they had a good weekend of signing free agents .................... well maybe not. Did I mention that there are 31 other options for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert L Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 tom Baldwin (3/2/2008)You guys are REALLY getting your hopes up for something and your just setting yourselves up for dissappointment. Blank and McKay and dimwitoff are just building you guys up so that they can let you WAY DOWN this comeing football season. This turner guy was a BACKUP. If he was THAT GOOD then why wasn't he on some other team starting allready????? Our offensive line is JUNK. J-U-N-K. Did yall not watch any games the last few seasons???? So he's fast, so what, Norwood is fast too. So are lots of other backs. Whats gonna happen when they hand turner "the burner" the football and he has 3 big fat defensive linemen pounding him in the turf 5 yards deep in the backfield????? He's gonna look around and think, "man, what am i doing here???". Face it people, this team is a loser. Make the furniture pretty all you want, the ship's still sinking, overpaid backup running back and all.Well, I think it's the fact they went out and got a quality player with quality character. I don't see him as "Walter Payton" BUT it is a nice pick up. YES, the O-line needs to be addressed. Do you think they will leave it as is? We are what-3 days into Free Agency and you are upset that we haven't addressed the O-line? I like the way things are going so far and I am still hoping that they add some bodies up there through both FA and the Draft-but I also understand that rebuilding takes a couple years and not ALL this teams issues will be resolved over night. Just chill man and enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoned_jc7 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 He's cheaper than McFaddenHe's better than DunnHe fits what we needed from the positionHe has experience in the league, but little wear and tear.We now have one less position to clutter our draft board with. And we are in a prime position now to entertain trades with other teams for the McFadden pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom Baldwin Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 hey falcon123, Im glad to see you are capable of counting that far. Now, I can see since your so smart I'd gladly sell you my ocean front property out in arizona. You and Blank would both probably go for that. Turner isn't worth a pile of money. He's not even a proven runningback. Heck, Norwood has done more than him. And behind a sorry line. But thats allright, you keep believing what the man takeing your money wants you to believe.

Make the furniture pretty all you want, the ship's still sinking, overpaid backup running back and all.Well, here's the bigger question, why are you here? I'm not trying to attack you, and you have every right to state your opinion on these boards, but you absolutely hate anything the Falcons do. There is no winning with you. Who exactly would you have signed since the Falcons seem to have no sense and you don't agree with anything they do. I want you to educate us on who you would've brought in here and why. It's so easy for people to complain and whine about everything but not give a single solution on how to solve the problems. Obviously you are not a fan of this team, and I have no issue with that. I just don't understand why you would waste your time complaining on a message board of a team you obviously hate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom Baldwin Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 You guys don't REALLY think this team can win do you???? Get real. The falcons are losers. You know it, I know it, they know it, the other teams know it. Your coaches are incompetent. Your owner can't bargain and negotiate. Your players are soft and weak. Just all in all your just inferior. Get over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirbob Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 CONGRATS!!!I am a big fan of "the burner". I use to root for him to take the field over LT because he runs like Earl Campbell... "sort of" I hope he gets 1500 - 1800 next year!!! This is THE #1 FA... on the market... That is all. wait... second overall FA under Moss.I just got another reason to root for the ATL.HEY LOOK AT THIS!!!12/29/07!http://life.atlantafalcons.com/forums/FindPost3046053.aspxNow go get Colt in round 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

falcoatlantae Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 tom Baldwin (3/2/2008)If he was THAT GOOD then why wasn't he on some other team starting allready?????Perhaps because GM A. J. Smith needed a player who just might be able to compensate for the loss of LaDainian Tomlinson to injury? Are you suggesting that the Falcons should only retain one effective running back per season?

The_ ATL Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Falcons fans are silly. They think whoever we sign is going to be the next great thing and the ones we lose suck, while those players are here they are all over their balls until they leave.Turner will have to be the same thing he was in SD, a compliment to a better back. Better hope Norwood can hold up or we draft McFadden/Mendenhall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_ ATL Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 "Which of course is the compliment to the silly Falcons fans who latch onto particular players and think that just because the Falcons signed them they must be overrated."I dont think Turner is overrated, I think if used with a good rotation he will give this team into a great power run game. He wont win a rushing title and probably not even go to a Pro Bowl, good RB signed to a bad contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
