Refried Beans 1,485 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Look yall. I think where we are as a franchise is basically like how San Diego was in last years draft. We have Matt Ryan they had Philip Rivers, They kept holding on to a good QB hoping he would get them over the hump but finally chose to cut bait and build for the future. I see so many similarities between Matt Ryan and Philip Rivers it is uncanny. And even when I look at the Chargers records it is almost identical to ours over the last 10 years. 4 good years and then YEARS of mediocracy. I am not saying we should draft a QB this year but it is just erie the similarities. Look at Chargers record then go look at ours. Chargers to the left Falcons on the right.

Snozberies17 103 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 The biggest similarities that came to my mind were they both continuously failed to build a strong supporting defense and never had a plan for the Oline. putnam6, Atlantafan21, Atl Falcon and 4 others 5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did you listen to the locked on podcast? And they compaired us to the Charges the year they took Mike Williams over Watson or Mahomes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am hoping we have better results this year with our new coach. i think we will, but Chargers got a running game and still didnt do well. Even had Bosa on D Line, Chargers and Falcons are like same franchise. just snake bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They still had a decent team like us and was not ready to somewhat start over. They tried one last run for 4 years, then draft Justin. So that worked out for them. So last years team doesn't much us as well. Matt is better and younger than Rivers. Even 4 years ago Matt was better. Run 'n' Shoot and ATLskinjob 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atl Falcon 4,079 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I hope there’s an unknown QB out there we find that turns out to be Justin Herbert. We’d be in good shape at QB for the next 12-15 years Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Got a feeling if he shows off the arm strength at his ProDay he could go in the late first. Dude reminds me of Big Ben. Big and slippery in the pocket. He could end up being a steal. It seems to happen almost every year with one of the QBs taken later in the draft turns out to be better than the first ones. vitaman 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
E. T. 5,808 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Very interesting. You could compare the Dan Fouts air coryell offense to the Matt Ryan / Shanny offense. Both had subpar defenses too. We couldn't even earn us a nickname. Refried Beans and Atl Falcon 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

opensource001 1,109 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 The Chargers are in a city that has proven numerous times it can't or won't support an NFL team. The Falcons are in Atlanta. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
