If the falcons pass up Dorsey for Matt Ryan

[SetzerFalcon 1,045]

Did we really have to neg those guys? I think a ton of us felt that way and if we're talking about some of the crazy ideas that the armchair GM/Falcon fans have had...we'd be here all day talking about how "stupid" some of us are.

Honestly, I breathe a sigh of relief every time one of these old threads gets dredged back up and I'm not in it. I was definitely not on the Ryan bandwagon but it seems I at least kept a level head about it.

I was one of the few who wanted a franchise QB (Ryan), as I reasoned that only teams with a good QB (not Dilfer for the Ravens) win big.

I'll be honest and say that I didn't want Matt Ryan. I was wrong.

That said, I WAS right about who I actually wanted. I watched games, something people don't seem to do and instead regurgitate what others have said, to see all the hype about Glenn Dorsey. I watched every snap of his against Ohio State and Florida and then watched every snap of Jake Long's against the same two teams. Not only did I come away with a sense that Dorsey was severely overrated, but that Jake Long was without a doubt one of the best offensive tackles I have seen and his "pass blocking deficiency" was a total myth.

Dorsey's only sack in the entire two games came late in one of them on a three man rush where the quarterback literally held the ball for 10 seconds or so. As for Vernon Gholston destroying Jake Long as I had heard, the only time Gholston got a sack was on an inside move and I'm not so certain the left guard wasn't supposed to pick him up because he came over late to help, but it didn't matter.

So mark me up as being wrong about Matt Ryan. I am 100% happy that I was, but I was right that Glenn Dorsey was a terrible draft pick.

Pointless really. Most if not all have left the boards or changed their s/name.

I was in the camp that didn't want Matt here. After his rookie year, I quickly said I would never ever question another draft pick. TD knows our needs and who to pick wayx100 better than any of us.

I'll have to admit I wanted Brohm up until Petrino left, and I wasn't too happy we drafted Matt at the time, but I have forgiven them now.

[Falconsfan567 35,212]

Love looking at old post and how stupid we all are!..............LOL!

Speak for yourself. I on the other hand was literally jumping for joy after we picked Ryan.

[ConnFalcon 806]

I wanted Matt from the start. However I didn't think he would come out and play the way he did in year one. Nobody did.

[jhow34 147]

I enjoy reading these older threads and seeing the responses from those that were wrong and came back to eat some humble pie. Whats more amazing are those that just refuse to admit that they were wrong and the GM got it right. Humble pie anyone? :unsure:

Imagine if one of us was the GM. Not good

I wanted Dorsey. I just didn't see Ryan as a quarterback that could be great. Most "experts" believed that he was the best QB in the worst QB class in a good while. Dorsey was the next Warren Sapp. I was wrong. Ryan is a beast. Dorsey would still be good next to Babineaux lol, but Dorsey wasn't worth the #3 pick looking back. However, Flacco didn't turn out to bad either, and that is likely who we would have gotten with the third pick in the second round along with having Dorsey. I'd still rather have Ryan, but that wasn't too bad of a route either.

Apparently our second rated quarterback was Chad Henne, who I actually had rated first. I'm glad it worked out the way it did.

I hate it when people bump old threads, but this one is hysterical.

You got that right Setzer....I'm not going to lie. I was drinking the Dorsey-Henne Kool-Aid.......

[phattywankenobi 2,835]

I changed my mind about a month before the draft when I looked around at all the teams struggling for years because they couldn't find a good QB. Man I'm glad that kid from Boston College who threw a lot of INT's his senior year worked out.

[crankdatfalcon 1,163]

i remember all the clowns here drooling over brohm with their supreme knowledge and know it all attitudes. lol these are the same guys that swear matt schaub is elite.

this dude has a 1,105 neg rep, suspension recommended, yet he can still post. Does that rep stuff even matter????

lol, oh gosh, I am really glad we didn't get Henne. I don't really think he will ever be a franchise quarterback.

[NateDogg1215 2,178]

dont screw us up TD brohm is the best QB not ryan

It doesn't matter, the mods want traffic on the MB, more traffic equals more advertising revenue. The mods don't care about trolls, they care about making money.

[revo3 152]

Not going to lie...I wanted Brohm in the second round and Dorsey with the third pick...This crow tastes delicious! :ph34r:
