I’m not against it, however it’s not the only option on the board, and may not be the best. I’ll defer to the new regime and trust their decision.

Drunken Minotaur Zebra Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Quote - He said that Matt Ryan will be our quarterback for next season and beyond Well I think that wraps it up. Can we stop talking about stupid QB trades or drafts? nomak, Herr Doktor and Drvillain 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I don't think AB said that at all if it's the same interview I listened to today. Now I'm gonna have to go listen to it again. I'm thinking DLed really is straight trash. falcons007 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m in the camp of seeing falcons take a developmental guy such as Jamie Newman in 3rd - 4th round or later. But a QB near top of Rd 1 of this draft for us with so many other areas of need is not only highly improbable, but foolish. Honestly this isn't crazy. You may see a flier with one of our comp picks on a Newman, Mond or Crum. I'm still orange tinted sunglasses praying we fit in Sam Ehlinger just to placate my Texas homerness....😀👍 GATXBOI and Vandy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s absolutely the correct thing to do if you want to drive up the value of the pick. The downside would be that some other team can trade up to jump us and maybe get our desired player. g-dawg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonious Mingus Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 What happened to Arthur Smith and the Falcons posturing for trade value after his statements on the Rich Eisen show? Now when Blank says "Matt is our guy" it is the gospel truth? Seems like many people will believe what they want to fit their agendas.

If the org decides to go and sit him im fine with that as long as we address our pass rush. I prefer a trade down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most other NFL teams looking QB are going to be targeting that #3 spot for a QB regardless of what happens at #2 if Zach Wilson and Justin Fields hold up in testing and the like. I would think most other NFL GMs would look at Falcons and think Falcons are 50/50 on taking a QB and the maneuvering could be hectic and competitive - so teams aren't going to be passive based on if Fontenot/Smith said Falcons would not take a QB anyway - we are in liar's season from now until late April.

I think you’re right in the gyms thoughts: 50/50 on taking QB. Kinda like the ratio of opinions here. even in liars season I don’t see AB coming out supporting MR to be false. Your thoughts?

1989Fan Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I still struggle to see a scenario where if we take a QB at 4 they aren’t starting by 2022 season. You just don’t take a QB at 4 to sit for multiple years. Not when a team has so many needs. give me a guy like Ehlinger, Trask, etc. in round 2-3 if we want to develop a guy for 2-4 years. I’m not gonna say which one is the right guy, but develop a second tier guy. If the team doesn’t feel the QB has ‘it’ in a couple seasons they can go back to the well. just glad to hear Blank say talk to the GM, not me.
