Who Do You Want the Falcons QB to Be in 2019? Realistically? In Your Dreams?

[jlrfalcon 2,224]

Simple question for this board and the constant discussion over whether we need to change or can change our current QB or not - 

Who do you want the QB for the Falcons to be in 2019 in Realistic Terms (a particular upcoming rookie or pending FA or current backup)?

Who do you want the QB for the Falcons to be in 2019 in Your Dreams - you may would love to have Patrick Mahomes or Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers or another pretty fixed QB but his arrival in Atlanta would take an unprecedented trade?

[⚡Slumerican⚡ 3,627]

In my dreams? A much more disciplined Mike Vick in his prime 

[No.11 6,311]

Matthew Thomas Ryan.

I think Mike Vick shares that dream...now. To bad he didn't get t here sooner. 

[WhenFalconsWin 21,652]

Uh, the guy that has thrown for the most yardage in NFL history in his first 11 seasons without the greatest OLs for most of that time...duh

To be honest, those particular questions matter little to me. In my dreams this teams goes on the field and executes to its potential for 60 minutes on a very regular basis (no team does it for 17 weeks). If this team did that, injuries and all, no one would be dreaming about talent. Talent is not the issue. Coaching and discipline have to improve. If they don't, two dream players won't matter.

This thread already having two Mike Vick comments tell us all we need to know about our fan base.

Only "Realistic" choice is Ryan. There'd be 60 mil dead money hit if you trade/cut Ryan next year.

It's also my choice.

The guy we originally drafted to run the red gun offense, Brett Fa-vre

• Realistically = Matt Ryan
• In My Dreams = Baker Mayfield

[Stryka 1,640]

Matt Ryan. The MVP who threw for 4000 yards 8 years in a row. Despite having Harry Douglas as a #1 one season and Leonard Hankerson as a #2 another season.  They best QB in falcons history and a 1st ballot HOFer once its all over.  

 

In a fantasy world,  I would take Pat Mahomes. He is the 2nd coming of A. Rod. Mobile guy with cannon arm and uncanny ability to make plays from any platform.

Sounds like Deshaun Watson

[jlrfalcon 2,224]

I always find it amazing at how many gripes/complaints I see and hear about Ryan but never see an alternative mentioned.  Even if Mike Vick could still play, I would be amazed if the guy has half the speed of his playing days.

Pat Mahomes is more Brett Favre than Aaron Rodgers IMO.

I think if you look at their ability to improvise in and out of the pocket. Ability to make every throw and the velocity they have along with it. Then you watch them go out and throw 40 tds vs 10 picks. Thats not Brett. Brett lead NFL history in picks. Was a scrambler but more gambler too. These guys dont make a lot of turnovers.

The question is all types of jacked up but I’d roll with Mayfield if I had a choice

Mahomes is a gambler. Watch his game against the Ravens. He's throwing the ball 40 yards downfield across his body into triple coverage. Mahomes has such a strong arm he thinks there isn't a window he can't fit the ball in.

Realistically it's Matt Ryan and I'm perfectly fine with that. Greatest QB in Atlanta Falcons history. 

In my dreams Joe Montana or Tom Brady in their primes.

If Brett Favre would have played in this era that protects qbs he might not have thrown as many picks

Realistically, Matt Ryan.

Since we are playing the “dream game” Joe Montana in his prime.

That's not very productive history, Atlanta has never been known for legendary quarterbacks

Doesn't matter. Matt Ryan is about to be in the top 10 in NFL history in TD passes.

Every NFL team was never known for legendary QBs until they got one.

 

Even without a ring, Ryan's numbers still hold quite a bit of weight as he moves into the top 10 in yards and tds.

 

Hopefully he pulls off an Elway type ending to his career.

[Stray Dog THA GAWD 3,287]

We should just keep the best QB we already have: Mohamed Sanu.
