ADAMSVILLE GYM Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) Atlanta Falcons: Trevor Lawrence is worth a blockbuster trade by Jeff Benedict 1 day ago Follow @19JB80 Over the last 20 years, the Atlanta Falcons have made two blockbuster trades. While Matt Ryan has been the best quarterback in franchise history and will undoubtedly be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame one day soon, the Atlanta Falcons have to give serious consideration to making their third blockbuster trade before the 2021 NFL draft. No one has been a bigger fan or apologist for Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan than myself whether it has been one the hundreds of articles I have written or on my former Atlanta radio show which aired on the Falcons flagship station. If you live in the Atlanta area and pay attention to high school football, you have heard about and seen Trevor Lawrence for that last six years. He has been labeled a can’t miss quarterback since he played his first high school game as a freshman at Cartersville high school, just 45 minutes northwest of Mercedes Benz stadium. Not only does a blockbuster trade make sense from a football standpoint for the Atlanta Falcons but it makes sense off the field for several reasons. Atlanta has a history of defending those that don’t have a voice. If you paid attention in middle school, high school or college during any of your US History classes, you know that one of the fundamental foundations of Atlanta is its rich history of civil rights and the countless people that have changed the world for the better. Over the last two months, Trevor Lawrence has used his platform to create a Black Lives Matter march as well as help his college football brethren have their voices heard as University presidents cancel college football. Trevor is not afraid to do what is right and be vocal in a way that not only helps those in need but does so in a way that makes sure that the message is received without any potential distractions. Local kid Professional athletes love to give back to the cities and areas that they grew up in. While he is not from metro Atlanta, he is isn’t too far away and understands the fans, the area, and what needs to be done in order to make the metro area a better place. Earlier in the pandemic, he got the NCAA to provide a waiver that would allow him to raise money via social media that was used to supply food to Bartow County and Clemson area food banks. The type of leader every franchise dreams about Not every gifted athlete is a natural leader and there is nothing wrong with that. However, when you draft a quarterback in the first round, you need him to be one. Looking at Trevor’s history, he is a natural leader that draws people in. He cares for people and realizes that the light he shines upon others is more important than the light that shines upon himself. Not only is he a generational talent on the field but he is a generational leader off the field and those two tangibles rarely align. Players want to play with guys like Lawrence and would flock to Atlanta in order to do so. Next: Three impact opposing players who have opted-out If the Atlanta Falcons have the chance to create a blockbuster trade that includes Matt Ryan and several first-round picks to acquire a quarterback like Lawrence, they would insane not too.

Draftnut57 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 No , but I feel like we should have done what we needed to get the other tall QB ,, Justin Herbert ,,, to let him sit behind Ryan and learn for about 3 or 4 more years ,, and if Iron Man Ryan ever did go down.. WE'd have a guy who IMO is going to be the steal of the draft ...... Just member what I said here.... Xero 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lornoth Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 If he's local you already know we're not drafting him. That's ignoring the fact that we won't pull a GB and mortgage our future for a QB that won't play for years. papachaz and PokerSteve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they haven't let him play much , very few times ,, But he averages like 3.5 per carry,,, And BTW,, he's still on the team... 3.5 X 3 carries equals what ??? That's what I thought...First Down....

For no more time he has had the chance to show what he can do,,, That's very good average... he has had very little playing time. 3'5 x 3 carries is a first down every time. And look at the time that runs out while running the ball ? Now I will say this.. We have so so many players on this roster at the moment.. Gonna be a lot of very good players that will not make this team.. He may be one.. But none the less.. He can be a Quality Running Back for some team... Hoping he gets to stay.. Lastly .. with all the talent on this team, more than twice what I've ever witnessed ,, He may not make the cut.. But he would be a great pick up for some team if he is let go... Hope he gets a shot before they make the cuts.. He's a strong Back.. Stoutly built ... Vandy and Mr.11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lethal Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I'm more interested in the "will undoubtedly be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame one day soon" part. The trade is ridiculous, but interesting tidbit there. Maybe the Matt Ryan HoF needle is starting to move (as it should have already been).

Falcon from E Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 When he can show me he can be great against good defense's and not the one's in the ACC maybe we can have that discussion papachaz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
