Seems logical. And I’ll take that bet. Our roster is still incredibly talented. that didn't sound like a bet though, he said he'd GIVE it to you......and he's on record Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And this is coming from someone who liked Smitty a lot. But he was never taking the Falcons to the SB IMO. That’s clear to me now. He was a couple of plays from taking the Falcons to the SB. Chill with the Quinn Obsession. We got on a hot streak, but he $hit the bed when it mattered the most. As I've said earlier, Quinn has a more experienced Matt Ryan and Julio Jones. If Blank had put the heat on TD about drafting starters back then, Smitty would have been in the SB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I saw Quinn take his team on the road and win a playoff game without Kyle. How many playoff games has Kyle won as a OC before Quinn? For the record, the Falcons were 7-5 until Quinn took over the defense and that’s when the entire team took off. But I hear you. What would Quinn be in 2016 without kyles offense? Kyle brought it into Atlanta and obviously Quinn liked it enough to keep it so far Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've always thought alot of Kyle's dad also.. But I never had a good feeling about Sark. I believe Kyle will be a good coach, one thing about the Shannahans is they don't give up.. Kyle or his dad imo don't know what defeat is.. It takes that attitude to make it in the NFL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seems logical. And I’ll take that bet. Our roster is still incredibly talented. It's not a bet. A bet infers that I require anything from him to get the $100. I don't. If Quinn coaches this team to another super bowl, I will give him his money. I'd be happy to, actually. I just don't see much of a chance it'll happen. Aside from that, it has zero to do with you. As for my 'approval', he will never get that without winning the championship. I've been a fan nearly 45 years, and he literally stole it from me and a **** of a lot of other old timers who suffered a lifetime to get it. All I see when look at him is someone who threw his team and the fans under a bus trying to show how big balled he is. You might forgive that. I never will. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I understand the frustration, but you make it sound as though Quinn didn’t actually want to win. Mistakes in clock management and run/pass ratio were made. Shyte happens.

KCartledge85 441 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Quinn is a better HC than M Smith. TD has always listened to his HC and brought in the players the HC has wanted. Our defensive roster was a complete $hitshow Mike’s last 3 years. The team was in a downward spiral talent wise. Let’s be honest, how many comp picks did we get Smitty’s last 4 years? The talent was so bad the players were simply out of the league when we let them go. I have made the point multiple times that close games have been an issue the past few seasons. Few like Matt Ryan more than I do, but we can stop calling him Matty I’ve. He was given that name for his 4th quarter comebacks in his first 5 seasons or so. Comebacks simply have not been a thing the last 4 seasons. I thought the comeback in Tampa was a great season end for this reason. Hopefully that comeback gets Matt back on tracking heading into 2019. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But you first have to actually get to a SB to have a chance to win it. So there is definitely a difference between the two. But that’s just the way I see it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh wait, he couldn’t even get to SB because he re-injured his best and only pass rusher, out of stubbornness, on a meaningless game at the end of the season, and couldn’t pass the rusher when his life depended on it in the conference championship game!
