Falcon918 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Listen I understand why a lot of people get upset at things the falcons do that you dont understand, but we have to pay attention to the bigger picture. Quinn doesn't come off as a person that will continue to stay mediocre. He is already doing things the old staff would not do. Cutting Roddy hurt the most for me but it was going to happen eventually. The old staff held on to players that were useless a year or two too long. In the past we would push for the top free agents but that doesn't work most of the time. We are going to build thru the draft. And the only way to do that is to fill the gap with cheap team friendly contracts that wont hurt the team down the road. We will build thru the draft. Our record would have looked totally different if we didnt make major mistakes in the red zone. Dont know if you noticed but we couldnt put all the blame on defense like we did in the past. I know I saw a lot less big plays given up than in the past. Defense even pulled out a win or two. We need to be patient and let Quinn do his job. We still have TD but this is a new staff going a new direction. Seahawks did not come out the gate winning. Pete Carrol had two 7-9 seasons before that team became what it is. If we dont see a change in the next year or two release your frustrations. Be patient give Quinn time to build the team the way he likes. Quinn knows exactly what he wants. That is another big change from the old staff. Our arrow is pointing up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

putnam6 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 LOL it was Quinn and Dimitroff stating this wasn't a rebuild when clearly it has become a rebuild. Patience was the message board buzzword last year. LOL along with fast and physical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon918 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 I said a year or two. I bet you believe Quinn should come in with someone elses team and we should win the super bowl. Got it. What was I thinking? Im not sure some of you realize that last year was Quinn's first year. Let him build the team the way he likes. Im not saying you wont be upset by somethings the team does but some of you make it seem like its the end of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinalScore2.0 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I started following the Falcons when Claude Humphrey came into the league. Patience? Fans have patience. More than owners most times. That's why fans vent frustration, that's all they can do and why not? Cheering hasn't won any championships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgiaFalconFan Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I've been a Falcons fan for a long time. Over the years I have learned one thing to be true where the Falcons go, and that is that nothing is guaranteed where the Falcons go. While I don't agree with all the moves the Falcons powers that be have made, I do think that the only way to change a losing team into a winning one is to change, so I remain optimistic as to what the future holds. The thing is that I have heard a lot of fans saying : "Just wait until year 2 or 3 under Dan Quinn, by then you should see results", I've heard that line before about other Falcons HC's in the past, NOTHING is guaranteed in this league. I don't blame any Falcons fan for how they might feel though, good or bad about how the direction the Falcons are going in. The thing is, Dan Quinn and the new coordinators were hired because they said they could fix the problems with the Falcons and get the job done, I know you've got to give them time. I think part of what got Smitty fired was the fact that he constantly said the phrase "Were gonna compete", but nobody watches their team hoping they are just going to compete and be mediocre. I wanna here from day 1 of training camp from all the coaches "Were here to try and win the Superbowl, that is the goal". Saying your going to compete just instills in your players and your fans that "Hey, we might not win it all, but hey were not that bad"...... No fan wants to hear that.... Either way, I remain optimistic as to what the future holds. One thing to remember as a fan about last season is, with the exception of the game where Carolina blew out the Falcons in that 1st game, the Falcons for the most part beat themselves with turnovers in most every game they lost. O-line has got to protect Matt Ryan and the Falcons need to get a center who can properly hike the ball to him. Give him some time in the Pocket rather than forcing him into a situation where all he can do is try and make reckless throws just trying to make something happen to avoid a sack. JMO...... While I remain an Optimistic Falcons fan, I refuse to jump on the band wagon until I see actual results. Falcons could go 16-0 and lose their first playoff game and while I would consider it an improvement and entertaining to watch, I would consider it a failure in the fact that we've all seen that show before. Falcons were 5-0 and people were talking at that time saying how they thought they were the team that could run the table on the season because they supposedly had "THE EASY SCHEDULE", we saw how that worked out.

Smitty blew 2 games on late game clock management alone in 2014 probably 3. Not intrigued by Quinn's collapse after the 5-0 start either. Not saying I'm not pulling for them I want them to go 16-0, I just see a whole lot of mediocrity, they have already said they aren't going to huge players in free agency, 5 draft picks just doesn't give them a lot to work with. Even Freeman came back to earth after those first few games. And that's the point this team maybe has Julio, Freeman,Trufant, Ryan and Matthews they can maybe count on everybody else is suspect and even Ryan had his worse year last year. LOL I want to believe but it's my lying eyes LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn inherited the team smith won 6 games with. According to the post I quoted he "rebuilt" and still won more games. That really hurts the whole in over his head argument Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought you were saying Quinns first year was better than smiths. Can't honestly remember if Smith's first year was considered a rebuild.
