LVfalconfan Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I think he very well could and if it was something like tony and a 4th for our 2nd, it would be worth it. I cant see TD trading any of our players for him. Jerious Norwood a possibility but I think fans would flip out. ( not saying I would want that) but we had an abundance of wr and td gave one away, we have an abundance of RB would he do the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant see TD trading any of our players for him. Jerious Norwood a possibility but I think fans would flip out.He had over 1000 yards and 10 tds last year just imagine how many more points we would score a game if matty ice could add an extra 1000 yards and 10 tds to his stats that would be crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 The Falcons are going to be a top 5 offense with him or without him. They were 6 last year and they are bringing everybody back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeakNoodleArmMattRyan Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Nope, not parting a 2nd and Norwood, are you crazy? maybe a 4th and next years 6th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi-Falcon Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Only if we trade Norwood for a top 5th Rounder. We need top 5th Rounders desperately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Dog Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Yeah we would be a top 5 offense easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loowe Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Yezzir it would. Easily an elite offense with TONY GONZALEZ aboard. OH and Jerious Norwood isn't going anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolefalcon69 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Denver is out Jay Cutler, we are already in the top 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakim24 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I don't want Tony Gonzalez.Yes he would make our offense one of the tops in the league, but for how long? ....... 1 year ? 2 years?I would rather draft a guy and let him grow with Matt Ryan.

formul8or Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 We were a top 6 offense without him, so it wouldn't be hard for him to put us in the top 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanka Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Yes it would. But even if we go without him I think we will one of the top offenses in the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karst41 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Would Gonzo "Make" us a Top 5? in one word, No.The TE as you recall is a great safety valve for a developing QBwho is learning the down field reads.Ryan has this skill set, so to think that Tony would be a great safety valvewould be to miss the point in its entirety.Tony however would bring something to the table, no questioning thatsimply due to his Blocking Abilities, which are superb, and great hands.The problem here is two fold in nature.1, What is his true worth in a trade considering that he has 3 years left?To answer this you need to factor that the average NFL career is 4 years.So if he comes in and palys for 3 years with high production then his worthis at minimun a 2nd round pick.2. Production.Since Ryan knows how to make the down field reads, Tonys value as a safety valve isnot of a major importance.So if he comes here and his production stats taper off a bit, would Tony be happy in Atlanta?His previous QB's have leaned on him pretty much his entire career andthat will not be the case with Ryan.All in all, if Tony has 3 years left in his body, then I say a 3 rd rounder is a very safe bet,and while a 2nd rounder is a small reach, I am good with it.Tony is an Old Pro and the entire Team will benefit.The knowledge that he will pass onto Ryan makes this a worthwhile venture.

muskokas finest © Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I love the guys who don't want to draft a TE early, now willing to shop a high pick for 33 year old Gonzalez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karst41 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I love the guys who don't want to draft a TE early, now willing to shop a high pick for 33 year old GonzalezIt really makes no sense, a wash if you ask me, but still favors Gonzo because he is a Proven Player.But also something here to be mindful of, is that Tony will not be over used in Atlanta, andthis sets up the likely hood that we could get 3 solid years of production out of him.Mularkey will play him like a fine Violin.

Xfactor Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 After what we did to our defense and the message was sent we are building through the draft and getting younger. If we give up a 2nd round draft pick for a 33yr old TE, TD has lost his mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot of wear on any player, much less a TE.He is overdue to hit the wall.League history isn't full of productive TE's at that age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Fantom Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I disagree with this move. It makes no sense whatsoever!!! Gonzolez is in the twilight of his career and we could grab a protype TE in the draft. The offense is already highspeed so why waste a player like Norwood and a @nd round pick for a guy that will be out of the league in a few years. If this happens I would be totally shocked!!! Why would the FO bring him in now and not at the beginning of FA!! Not to drive down the cost of having Gonzo because a player and a 2nd round pick is very expensive. No way the deal gets done!!!

miKevicK777 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 absolutely, we would have at least 4 probowlers on offense with turner, gonzo, roddy, and ryanand maybe ovie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we throw more to our TE's, we will throw less to our recievers. Remember we are a run oriented offense. That said, I do think it would add to our total output on offense. If the TE is truely a threat, it should ad more TD's but I doubt it would ad 10 TD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
