Falcant Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 That is such a WEAK list for a team thats been around for so long LOL!! How embarrassing that the SUCS have the most impressive list in your terrible division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFanSince1970 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Voted for Nobis, Ryan, Vick and Deion. Big time impact on the franchise. Trust me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmoz Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Had to go with Nobis, Tuggle, Ryan and Blank. Nobis and Tuggle were career long Falcons who were exceptional players and probably our only 2 decent arguments for HOF players. Ryan is our greatest QB and our current turnaround after so many years of doing nothing is mostly thanks to Blank, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I not a Madden fan but it just show how respected WA was. Edited June 4, 2013 by delaigle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCFalconfan Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Had to go with Nobis, Bartkowski, Tuggle, and Van Note.Same here except I'd have to go Ryan over Bart. As much as I like Bartkowski, Ryan is about to shatter all the Falcons QB records, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulitik Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Tuggle, Nobis, Ryan, White.Sorry, but I don't believe Vick deserves a vote. That would be like putting Robert E Lee or Jefferson Davis on the real Mt. Rushmore (although the sculptor probably would've liked that).

DoYouSeeWhatHappensLarry Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I appreciate the love shown to the older generation but the fact is, this team just hasnt had the type of success historically that justifies doing an All-Pre 2000s Mt Rushmore.Personally, given the options presented, I went with this:Jessie TuggleMatt RyanTommy NobisRoddy WhiteWhite has been a top shelf receiver in a pass dominant league for longer than any previous Falcon and at a higher level, IMO. Matt has clearly performed to a level that he's unquestionably the best QB in franchise history and has consistently won at a level higher than expectation would dictate. Did you know that Matt Ryan is Top 5ish in terms of wins over expectation over the last 30 or so years?Tuggle gets it because obviously. Same thing with Nobis, the best historical Falcon in terms of overall place in the league.Other candidates worthy of serious consideration: Tommy Dimitroff, Arthur Blank, Keith Brooking (surprised he didnt get a mention given the fact that he was one of the better LBs in the league for almost his entire Falcons career and he played on the SB team).I can see subbing in Humphrey for Nobis or Roddy.....but to go 4 deep on the "classic" Falcons unnecessarily short changes the success this team has had over the last 5 years in a league that is arguably stronger than it ever has been.

g-dawg Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 agree w/ Paulitik/Larry:Matt Ryan - most significant player in Falcons 47yr historyRoddy White - owns most receiving records already - great playerJessie Tuggle - came out of nowhere to be an all-pro player (should be knocked off in future)Tommy Nobis - first player drafted in Falcons history - did not disappointNo Bartkowski - loved Bart but there can be only one QB and Matt Ryan is on verge of owning all the passing records in 5 short seasons.No Deion - he simply was not a Falcon long enough - if he signed a second deal w/ Falcons, then he would most definitely be on this list.No Van Note - he wins the longevity award but he was just good not great for a long time.No Brooking(s) - had to add the "s"....pile jumper had about 2 good years and then lived off rep.No Michael Turner - he was very close but 5 years total don't get you on Rushmore.

Bill Brasky Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I voted for Nobis/Sanders/Ryan/White. I thought it was pretty ****** for PFT to include Vick on that list. It gives other teams fans a chance to vote him in just to make us look bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
since68andcounting Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Had to go with Nobis, Tuggle, Ryan and Blank. Nobis and Tuggle were career long Falcons who were exceptional players and probably our only 2 decent arguments for HOF players. Ryan is our greatest QB and our current turnaround after so many years of doing nothing is mostly thanks to Blank, IMO.Exactly what I voted and for the exact same reasons. You can't count Sanders because he left after a short period to win Super Bowls elsewhere. Though one person I really feel should be on that list is "The Great Dane" Morten Anderson. A guaranteed 1st ballot hall of famer and the NFL's ALL TIME leading scorer. Even though his most productive years were in NOLA he made the clutch kick to get us into our only Super Bowl. He was a hallmark of consistency in his final few years with very high FG percentages. One year, he made everything he kicked up to 46 yards...including a 46 yarder that made it by a half yard. So, his 47 yard attempt? It missed short by a half yard. THAT, MY FRIENDS, IS CONSISTENCY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dem Birds Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Why were you on an Eagles board voting for the Falcons Mt. Rushmore? Around the NFL forum. They were discussing all teams' Rushmores. I put in my selection for the Falcons. Seemed to get a good bit of agreement. Especially Tuggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
