GrimeyKidd Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) Quote Thomas Dimitroff came to the Atlanta Falcons in 2008 and since he has been the general manager the Atlanta Falcons have been up or down in terms of success. Two coaching staffs later only one common denominator remains and that is Thomas Dimitroff. The Falcons are currently 5-9 with a horribly constructed roster that hasn’t been coached to the best of its ability. This article will be focusing on Thomas Dimitroff and how he has constructed the Atlanta Falcons from top to bottom. FREE AGENCY In the offseason, the Atlanta Falcons signed guards Jamon Brown and James Carpenter both of whom struggled on their former teams and weren’t retained. $39.75 million between them and they both have been relegated to 3rd string. It was reported that the underperforming Guard James Carpenter has been placed on injured reserve which completes this as another failed signing on Dimitroffs watch. Wes Schweitzer (who was drafted in the 5th round in 2016) has come in and played better than Carpenter has all season in a short amount of time. There have been multiple signings that hindered the Falcons ability to improve over the years.

FalconsIn2012 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Last offseason was a nightmare, but the roster is far from poorly constructed. We have a roster capable of making a deep playoff run next year. Monolith2001, Stevo, Dirtybird56 and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JD dirtybird21 Posted December 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2019 Since Thomas Dimitroff was hired in 2008, the falcons are tied for 8th best winning percentage (both regular season and playoffs combined) out of all 32 teams. Only New England, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Indianapolis, Baltimore, Green Bay, and Seattle are better. The point? The Falcons have been a top 10 franchise in the TD era.

We have a roster capable of making a deep playoff run next year. And this gets glossed over by the stateline crowd. Of course there are going to be mistakes (Carp/Brown/Stocker) but there are PLENTY of successes. The core of a team that should have won the SB in 2016, and made a respectable playoff run in 2017 are all still here. You're not going to have a ton of cap space when you draft well. WE NEED A PROPER OC. ATLskinjob, FalconsIn2012 and Norwood all the way! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macintez Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 He gets a lot of hate because because he has not been held accountable for NOT building the trenches on BOTH sides of the ball. I don’t see us making any playoff runs unless we become formidable in the front lines and it hasn’t happened his entire tenure.

Guy gets too much hate Also, it should be noted that every one of the eight teams mentioned have played in a Super Bowl since 2008. Something else to consider among those eight is since the drafting of Matt Ryan in 2008, only New England, New Orleans, Pittsburgh and Green Bay still have their starting QB's from their 2008 rosters. The other teams, the Giants (Won SB in 2011), and the Chargers with Rivers are the only team not to even make it to a Super Bowl out of this group, so basically, we are one of only seven teams that still has had the same starter since 2008. To say that TD hasn't had a positive impact on this franchise considering the history has to be blind.

ZoneOne01 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Matt Ryan won’t ever have a complete team until there is a new GM in Atlanta. If he stays, I’m expecting more of the same. Atl Falcon and Doctor Kildare 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwifalcon Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I like it good meat head thinking pretending building the lines is the only way to win. I mean heaven forbid you have a franchise QB in place that’s got nothing to do with winning. Good meat head just copy the Dallas Cowboys model build the lines win nothing in 12 years lol meat head.
