thomass 232 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I think you all are misinterpreting what was meant by “valuable tradable player” I.e. given his position, age, where he was drafted and his potential to other teams, he could be considered a valuable asset in trade discussions.

It's nice actually talking Falcons football and this is the nonsense I see all over I’m from Ohio and I feel the same way.

Great route running & speed much more important and he has them in spades. Look at Marvin Harrison. lol i would be scared to see what he thinks about antonio brown over the last 6+ years on the field. Removing all of his off field crap and just focusing on his on field play. He won 90% of his plays based off exactly what Calvin Ridley brings to the table really good speed and quickness and perfect routes. Without losing speed in and out of cuts in those routes creating amazing seperation. Ridley is honestly just a bit bigger version of Brown as Brown was like 5'10 185 and Ridley is 6'1 190. If seeing Brown being the ONLY WR you could even debate putting over Julio as the best WR in football over those years doesn't prove you can be a true #1 and not be a physical freak or just really physical as a WR then i don't know what does. 1989Fan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FalconFan13 1,626 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Now as far as trading Ridley goes the main reason i wouldn't do it for Adams is because where as Adams is a upgrade at Safety it's not like Rico nor Neal are trash at Safety. I think the drop off in talent is much less With Adams to Rico compared to Calvin and the next WR we have. If we had a legit #3 WR like Sanu was or someone i believed could be atleast close to Ridleys level as a #2 WR i would be ok with doing it. But as it sits i don't think i would make that move and i like Adams alot. Mister pudding 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That’s what this board is. BUT...There were those who seriously proposed we dump Calvin Ridley like he was some sort of cheap trade pawn. His value was literally cheapened by mindless, instant gratification folks who absolutely must satiate their desire to win FA no matter how fkg stupid their means to an end had to be. Now it seems there are folks who either still believe that was a prudent thing to do OR they’re now minimizing it as if it were only thrown out there as a “non-plausible” discussion piece only. NOOO! That’s not it at all. It was a genuine suggestion that proves the lack of true football acumen & the overwhelming Hollywood magazine mentality of a fair number of those who opine on this forum. Sure all are welcome to opine & we’re all nothing but armchair knuckleheads but it’s good to push back on really stupid suggestions. Additionally, & unrelated I hope, not everyone posting here has good intentions. What is sometimes difficult is uncovering the underlying agendas. You’d be surprised at just how far some of these silly “trade this guy” suggestions will go if left unchecked. Oftentimes it’s healthy to flush it quickly before the stink gets too ripe. If unchecked, it begins to attract likeminded flies lol! Mister pudding and ya_boi_j 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We’ll miss the great JJ when he decides to hang em up. At least we both agree he is a great WR #2 right now! And that’s all a team can ask of their #2. To be great. That way it bodes well for the future. You have someone in the wings & whomever you decide to pair him with then it’s a win/win. Mister pudding 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Realsurfin 1,164 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 This is still going on.... geez why don't we just trade away the whole team and go into the season with no one that ever snapped a ball together. Sarcasm filter on.... we should just hire all the unselected draft agents and dump all the vets. That should make the trade ho's happy. and we would have a ton of cap money. falcons007 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
