xskyx Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Would Akeem Dent have done better with Quinn? Just thought about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Dog Named Brian Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 MIght have, maybe not. Quinn brought in some of his own guys as well, I personally think he would've been a long shot to make the 53 this year. It was a dumb trade last year though, we needed all the defensive help we could get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xskyx Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Dent looked decent in Houston tonight from the little i saw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconsfan567 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I just remember all the praising of Yates that was done on this board after the trade was announced. Boy, those folks were wrong. Wish I could find that thread so I could remember some of the things that were said to me when I didn't praise the trade and called Yates out for being the fraud that he is.

A Dog Named Brian Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Then again, PW55 has been looking pretty good so far. Dent shouldn't have been traded to begin with. Unfortunately, we'll never know how he would've done this year had we retained him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Falcon Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 MIght have, maybe not. Quinn brought in some of his own guys as well, I personally think he would've been a long shot to make the 53 this year. It was a dumb trade last year though, we needed all the defensive help we could getTHANK YOU, Brian. I said the EXACT same thing last year and got flamed by the " Flaming Boys" on here. I said we needed ALL the help on defense and THIS trade was absolutely crazy. And here we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawse Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Who knows. There's a lot of cuts coming and whose to say he'd even make the ST squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOR Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Dent was above average rushing the passer but they never let him do it At the very least we probably wouldn't have had to sign reed. They'd probably have similar production in this scheme. Reed probably has more moves on the outside however. Dent was a good blitzer where's as reed is a good rusher.

Knight of God Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Bradford > DentBeen saying for years we should draft a QB and stop playing with these "lunch pail" guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlfanstckndenver Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Dent has troubles staying healthy from what I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerSteve Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Dent was a disappointment, but Yates is an insurance sales rep doing a bad impersonation of an NFL QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Its funny hearing all of this stuff now. A lot of folks around here couldn't wait for Dent to leave. Edited August 31, 2015 by FentayeJones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriveHomeSafelyAtlantaWins Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Really, though, it doesn't matter. Dent sucks. Yates sucks. We basically traded nothing for nothing. Wasted some time and energy of the front office, that's about all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantaFalconPokerPro Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 You had to remind us that we actually gave something of value for Yates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast-N-Da-Sheetz Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 A lot of people assume that we would've cut Dent anyway, but the truth of the matter is that he was a capable back up while Yates shouldn't even be in the league. While that trade isn't really nothing to cry over, I'll say it anyway...Dimitroffed!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Insano Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 When the trade was made, I was all for it..a guy who has starting experience that seemed to be serviceable if Ryan went down...well, I was wayyyyy wrong on that but dent wouldn't be a falcon this year either with worrilow and Bradford..so all in all, this trade really had 0 effect on our team bc Dent would've still sucked and Yates never played Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyCo Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 when it looked like dent was going to take over for lofton, i couldnt wait to say Dent put a Dent in the offense..but all he did was put a Dent in the bench. he was everything lofton was, minus the being good part.

Geneaut Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I've never really gotten too worked up over the trade. We sent Houston a player we didn't really want for a player they really didn't want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuggle'2 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Cheese and rice ... lolIt was two teams planning on cutting their respective players and realized the other was interested so they traded. You people get bent outta shape over the absolute most asinine stuff. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadMoonRising Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 if losing Dent for Yates stressed you enough that it actually caused you too develop a pimple thinking about it. Wear that pimple with pride because its the best part of your face because your an ***! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Why stop there? Let's go way back to the Favre trade. How would Favre's retirement look under Quinn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFanSince1969 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 THANK YOU, Brian. I said the EXACT same thing last year and got flamed by the " Flaming Boys" on here. I said we needed ALL the help on defense and THIS trade was absolutely crazy. And here we are.It's a wash at best. Neither are worth a roster spot so I'm not sure how that equates to 'absolutely crazy' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAD597 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) sometimes things don't work out but I'd rather the Front Office TRY and improve things then just sit on their butt. Edited August 31, 2015 by MAD597 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
