I started that thread because I got my idea from PFT. But now the real voting is open, my spanky toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I started that thread because I got my idea from PFT. But now the real voting is open, my spanky toy.Do they actually say who wins the poll? Seems like they always say they are voting for some team. But i dont recall seeing who wins any teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Bird is Da Word Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) It may seem too soon, but I'll go ahead and put Matt Ryan up there. He's arguably the best QB the team's ever had. What with the team never having a single back to back winning season and all before 2008. Then I'll go White--all time Falcons reception leader. Deion Sanders, because 'nuff said. And guess I'll throw in Tuggle too.It pains me to see Vick making people's list... Edited June 3, 2013 by Da Bird is Da Word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i dont recall seeing who wins any teams. I dunno, I just go to that site for entertainment, Mike Florio and the posters there are pretty uninformed. Thy have made a big deal out of this for so long I think they will post results thoughI am surprised Rankin Smith isnt on the list. I don't care if he sucked, he helped get the team here.

REV.2000 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 It pains me to see Vick making people's list...NEVER FORGET, WHEN MIKE VICK GOT HERE, WE WERE DEAD IN THE WATER. HE BROUGHT THIS TEAM BACK TO LIFE. PUTTING ALL THE NEGATIVE STUFF ASIDE, HE DID A LOT FOR US. SOME PEOPLE REMEMBER THAT. BUT .... JUST AS HE BROUGHT US BACK TO LIFE ..... HE KILLED US AGAIN. BE THAT AS IT MAY, I AIN'T MAD AT MIKE. MOE' POWER TO HIM. I WISH HIM WELL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD: Objective Elite Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Like I said, the falcons don't have a MT Rushmore... they have a Lincoln Memorial at best...and his name be Jessie Tuggle...I could agree with this as well. If he had played on nearly any other team for his career, he'd be in the HoF already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jb 3.0 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Like I said, the falcons don't have a MT Rushmore... they have a Lincoln Memorial at best...and his name be Jessie Tuggle...EVERY TEAM has those 4 Best! Including the Falcons. I know I give you guys a lotta ****, but I remember years ago watching the Falcons back in the late 60's and early 70's and it seemed every time I watched them, which was rarely because I was living on the west coast, the Falcons would upset someone. Usually the Vikings, who were very, very good back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shredman Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 cant believe I put Sanders on therejust 3 yrs ago I Bashed him for all he was worth loland thats alot , esp if you are Redskins lolBut since he went to Canton as a Falcon, and has clearly embraced the team he once threw to the curb...Guess the best Cover Corner of all time has a spot lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD: Objective Elite Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Ryan? REALLY??? Over all those other guys? Like Bartkowski & Van Note? Somebodies really drinking the Kool-Aid.Falcons had never had back to back winning seasons, ever. Ryan led Falcons have never had a losing season. He's the best QB to play for the Falcons in their history. Yes, that means I believe he's better than Bart/Chandler/Vick (not counting Favre)Let's not pretend that his career is over entering his 6th season. IMHO, Ryan will go down as the greatest Falcon ever, even surpassing Tuggle.How is that for homerism? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb 3.0 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 TuggleWhiteRyanSandersYou sure you don't wanna replace Sanders or Tuggle with Steven Jackson? He is a Hall of Famer after ALL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
