Guest facelessman07 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Wasn't that his quote from the press conference he had earlier this week? To me, that's just the "politically correct" thing to say, and Quinn may feel entirely different after working with Thomas for a year now. And if he did, I highly doubt he'd say anything but positive remarks to the media while handling his true feelings behind closed doors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlantaprodj Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 You have to wonder about all of this ra ra vanilla speak. Saying it in the press doesn't make it so.TD is gone IMO and it does Quinn no good to throw him under the bus... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_Lo_Touchdowns Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 No surprise there, he said TD was the reason he came here anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovie_Lover Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Oh ***** we can make fan rules now?!?!?!? Ok um mine is if you think the Falcons should of drafted Gurlie instead of Beasley you're not a Falcons fan.(: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukfalc Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I don't know if this reflects Quinn's view or he is saying the right thing to the media, but if AB has any sense he will take account of Quinn's real views and wishes whatever they may be.If Quinn really wants to work with TD and is happy with their working relationship, forcing a change on Quinn makes zero sense. The consensus view in the off-season was that these guys worked together and aced the draft, so why break that up and PO the coach in the process? We need to remember that it takes time to see the benefits of a good draft - you don't get instant improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brown bomber Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Before he got our job he wanted to work with George Paton. I think it's up to AB and I think TD is history after these last 3 games. DQ will have a new GM next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 “Thomas is a really big part of why I wanted to be here,” Quinn said, via theAssociated Press. “The respect I have for him, and the partnership that I wanted to help create from the head coach to a General Manager. We were in sync in every facet from the time we got here to going through every process together.”I dont understand what this thread s supposed to imply. This is the only Quinn quote from the PFT article. Just the run of the mill standard quote any coach would make. Its the same thing he said when asked in his press conference yesterday, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not three in a row for TD. I'm sure Quinn would be uneasy with a new GM that didn't hire him but TD made his bed and this losing streak is the nail in the coffin.You wanna keep him here...make sure the team performs better on Sunday! Otherwise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to remember that it takes time to see the benefits of a good draft - you don't get instant improvement.I agree. DQ wants TD to stay because he wants stability. As a first time HC, he doesn't want to have to deal with a brand new GM that may not support him in the same way that TD does. TD is in his corner, and has demonstrated that he can work effectively with DQ to bring in players that work within the system that DQ wants to implement. Breaking the DQ-Pioli-TD dynamic up just makes Quinn's job harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulitik Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Quinn has always gone out of his way to say Dimitroff was a big reason he wanted the Falcons Job, even when he didn't have to. He's said this without leading questions in press conferences, or even being asked directly. I don't think I've heard him mention Scott Pioli's name, and he rarely talks about Arthur Blank unless directly asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da_Truth Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I hope that Quinn isn't serious about partnering with the non-GM Dimitroff. Guy had eight years to learn on the job; and still hasn't built an OL or DL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardog357 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 TD has been under fire for a while and he keeps getting a bye. I can't see this continuing or we will definitely be the laffin stock of the NFL not only this year, but next year as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mashburn*Fibonacci Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 All I want to say is Florio is a disgruntled jerk. He said how he knew 100% the falcons were going to lose two first round picks for pumping in noise. He has promised he knew Thomas was getting fired multiple times. He actually word fights with other reporters (and he goes personal). He said some horrible things about the eagles. Etc etc etc. So I'm not believing this article at all.

E. T. Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Maybe Dan Quinn want to bolt after the season...Who knows what will happen, we just need to wait and see. I wouldn't put it past this team that everyone returns next season too. I've seen a ton of crazy things with this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjerry Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 This thread could not be more click bait and I hope the mods change the title.Not only is there nothing implying that in the "article" but the entire thing is pure speculation. The only thing in there from Quinn is his offseason statements that he and TD got along and thought similarly. The rest is pure BS where it tries to imply that Quinn wants TD to stay.This crap is why I want Pft flat out banned from the site. Everything that they write is garbage.This thread is garbage too.

DQ will have a new GM next year.Dan Quinn may like TD and may like working with him, but he has to step back and look at the big picture from the standpoint of TD's full body of work before he got here, and it doesn't pass the smell test. If he understands that he'll understand this move has to be made. It might end up with TD and Shanahan gone before the dust settles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamPlayer1 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Quinn is an upgrade as head coach. Let's see this years draft and FA signings at least before anyone judges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
