Padawan Knight Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Will everyone that keeps doing a mock offseason please stop "letting McCown walk" without addressing the QB position in the draft or FA? Please?!?I can pretty much guarantee you that there is no way we go into next season as another playoff contender with only Dominique Davis as the only backup to Matt Ryan. We also will not pick up a UDFA QB as the 3rd guy at that position.Stop the madness. Think about all positions and stop living so deep in your fantasy that you forget to think.[/rant] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Bird is Da Word Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I thought the consensus was that Davis is pretty good (granted we only saw 'im in preseason...) I don't pretend to know much about the draft (don't watch college ball so most of the names don't mean anything to me) but I doubt another QB backup is a huge priority.

JRid Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I agree completely. I keep seeing people mentioning us drafting a qb, but we have Davis to learn behind Ryan and McCown. I think McCown can be a very good backup if needed. He is a decent QB and knows the offense. He also seems to help out a lot on the sidelines.

He won't get a big deal with any other team so he should come back for a very reasonable salary. If Davis is able to move up to the #2 spot, I don't have a problem with that. I'm just not sold on him being "da future". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis York Morgan Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 McCown is, like, 56 years old. And he sucks. So I'm sorry, I'm more comfortable with us having DD sit behind him (since he's, well, better) and maybe getting some dude off FA on the cheaps.

You didn't draft anyone and didn't sign anyone in FA either.OH WAIT... I just figured out the answer...Kerry Meier is Da Future!!!1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padawan Knight Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Oh, yeah. Your math is a little off, too. Luke turns 32 this summer. This is not even close to old by NFL QB standards. SMH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to act like a child to try and get your point across. QB isn't a need. If Ryan goes down, we're pretty much screwed anyways...if Davis goes down, we pick up someone like Campbell. Have a UDFA on the training squad if you want.Can't believe you're seriously complaining that I didn't address QB in the offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your solution is not really realistic, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't just say something along the lines of "we'll put Jason Campbell on retainer" in case our other guys get hurt. It doesn't work that way. You addressed other positions in FA and the draft. For me to take you seriously, I need to see you address the QB position if you're going to suggest we let our #2 QB walk out the door.

Falcanuck Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Matt Ryan goes down, Falcons lose. McCown or no McCown. 2 QBs or 3 QBs. Why waste a spot on a 3rd QB? Why take snaps from Dom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trufant Island Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Matt Ryan goes down, Falcons lose. McCown or no McCown. 2 QBs or 3 QBs.Why waste a spot on a 3rd QB? Why take snaps from Dom?dont call him "Dom" as if hes been the face of the franchise for 5 years. the OP has some great points and i agree 100%. McCown is a bargain and i saw Campbell this year vs. SF, mccown cant be any worse than that. It sounds like Falcon Moore might just be an Auburn fan or something. Anyway, I also agree with the OP on our board wanting to call people "THE FUTURE" after a good series or two in the preseason vs. 3rd string talent. its insane.and to actually respond to what you said there, if Matt goes down (see who can be called by first name here and who cant yet?) we are not a Super Bowl team, but we could definantly "waste" a spot on a 3rd QB. no reason to give up because Matt is out. The Texans proved your theory wrong in 2011. They went through 3 QB's and won a playoff game Edited January 29, 2013 by Cole World Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Negatorris Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 We don't need 3 QBs. Davis was never even activated this season, plus McCown is useless. Ryan rarely suffers an injury, and Davis has looked like he can be a solid backup. I don't see the reason for keeping McCown around... We might as well just re-sign Redman and Wilson too. If Ryan does get hurt, and Davis comes in and gets hurt, our 3rd QB won't come in and do anything significant for the team. If Ryan AND Davis get hurt, we could easily just sign someone to play QB while we watch our season go down the drain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiler11 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I think it all depends on the progress DD has made this year. I personally think McCown might be the worst QB in the league and is a waste of a roster spot. I also agree that if DD isn't ready then it would be suicidal to only have 2 QB's. But, if he is ready, then only having 2 QB's gives you a lot of flexibility with your roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbaz Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 NoWhile I do think there's is better backup qbs than McCown, I don't think we need to draft one this year. We just drafted a qb last year. OL and RB are the only two positions needed for offense in the draft this season. The rest needs to be strictly spent on defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajhae Battle Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 We have so many other pressing needs that I don't see any need to waste a pick on a backup. If there is somebody in later rounds that just impresses you so much then maybe, but I think the immediate attention is getting over this hump, every draft pick I would make would be to facilitate that goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
