Rogers is really good but he is definitely not doing it by himself. Ice can still be a game manager for the next couple of years.

Xfactor Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I've got a feeling Coach Smith plans on sticking with Ryan and feels he can thrive in his system for at least 2 years. Tannehill and Ryan are a lot a like they are both pocket passers. Now does that mean he will pass on Fields or Wilson at 4 with Sewell or Parsons possibly still on the board no clue. Also the QB class next year is nowhere close to Lawrence, Fields and Wilson so there's that. I'm sure there will be a lot of discussion about that but it's hard for me to believe Smith would use the 4 pick to sit for 2 years. I would say Ryan under Smith's scheme is capable of 4000+ yards and 40 TD's now I don't see that type of production with Fields or Wilson in their rookie year.

He reminds me of Russell Wilson and Patrick Mahomes. You can’t pass him up if we are going QB. his medicals will be a huge. And with no nfl scouting combine this year teams doctors will be key.

A-TowN.- Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 1 hour ago, treboyplay said: IMO the knock on Fields comes from him playing for Ohio State. I personally think there are more issues than that. His upside is nuts and his arm talent is great as well. However, I think he has two big red flags: mental processing and pocket awareness. He makes some weird decisions that he really doesn't need to be making. Throwing up balls while he's being dragged to the ground & not sliding when he's running the ball. He’s going going to get himself hurt if he doesn’t protect himself make better choices (see Clemson). He has an inconsistent ability to register pressure coming at him as well. He gets caught holding the ball a bit too long & he also can get stuck on his first target/read too long. He’s got some mechanical issues too, but that’s easy to fix. The other issues above are real concerns though. realhomie81, Thiccolas Cage, FalconsIn2012 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macknsweetjones Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 2 hours ago, realhomie81 said: So this question is more for those who feel we should go QB at 4 (I'm one those people). And no I'm not saying draft a QB so we can find a way to unload Matt Ryan this year. Matt has at least 2 to 3 good years left given the right system but it's more than likely his last season as a Falcon. So, we need to prepare for that and already having our hopefully future franchise QB already here and being groomed by one the best to ever do it on and off the field would be great way to start a new QB era. With that being said, my question is; which QB is more likely to be a better NFL player Fields or Wilson? I know this question has probably been asked numerous of times but I'm asking again. I think Fields but idk in this situation it feel like 1a 1b I think we will be ok with either of them and with Matt showing them the ropes I think we would be fine. realhomie81 and Thiccolas Cage 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Ryan isn’t a game manager now I don’t think yet) but no telling in 2 years) and why are we postponing locking up our future QB so we don’t have to do this in 2 to 3 years...yall need to let go of that cowboy into the sunset ******** cause it’s likely not happening here..and look towards the falcons future. It’s like some of our fans want to hold on to pieces of the past regime by wanting incompetence Thiccolas Cage and realhomie81 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister pudding Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 God willing, we won't be picking near 4 for a long time. You need to pick a qb. Think about the rotational hot mess that we had at qb pre-Matt Ryan.

He reminds me of Russell Wilson and Patrick Mahomes. You can’t pass him up if we are going QB. I agree... Wilson seems to have the "it" factor. Your description of his effortless play is spot on. When I see him move and slide in the pocket he reminds me of Elway. (For those of you old enough to remember him). He's even built like him. His throwing style and mechanics remind me of Rodgers. He has a certain arrogance and cockiness that you want in your star QB. He might not be Lawrence now, but could possibly eclipse him down the road. Even though his level of competition wasn't A-one... That wasn't his fault. He killed it all year. We can't pass on this kid. He could truly be something special. I just pray that the freakin Jets don't grab him at two. But I did read an article saying that they are commited to Darnold... which points to Sewell or Smith at #2.

Killing Floor Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I like Fields and I like that we’ve seen how he performs in big games against heavy competition. I like that he can throw a rope for distance but also take the 1st down into his own hands /feet if needed. He’s a fighter. Who knows what happens between now and combine and pro days and all the coaching turnstiles. Can’t guess who we’ll actually pick. Ryan isn’t forever. Ryan isn’t Rodgers, let that go. The next season will be a transition anyway so it’s the perfect time to bring in a future QB even if they don’t start. If I can dream build and we don’t pick a QB this year I’d hope for Sam Howell next time. Macknsweetjones and Thiccolas Cage 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
