Jesus 26,637 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Gase was a talented play caller. Manning made him look like a genius. The difference is, like Shanny in SF, if all the pieces aren't in place he can't make it work. Also he sucks as an HC. Darnold probably isn't worth the PTSD he will be carrying.

I'd launch a campaign to fire Fontenot if we traded a top 100 pick for Mr. Mono. In the football world, the expression “seeing ghosts” has a number of meanings. With a quarterback, it usually describes a player confused or tricked by the defense. You would see ghosts too behind that oline against the Pats D at the time Atl Falcon and 1989Fan 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As a matter of fact go listen to TF's interview on 92.9 with Dukes and Bell dude i post the article... steve wyche worked here in atlanta and now work for the nfl network (they just interviewed TF on his podcast) ofcourse TF hasnt said that...It would be dumb if he did,.. Teams would know he wants to trade out and would offer less.. Steve is giving his opinion or what he thinks from everything around him.... It can be wrong but again..

Draftnut57 4,315 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Well , you know that we are trying to make teams think we may take a QB , just to make them try and get our pick so they can really pick a QB.. Smith and Co , wasn't born yesterday... They know how this works.. I think the chances are 9 to 1 that we trade down.. And boy do I hope so.. Not to mention any numbers,, I'm hoping we trade down to #8.. JohnnyFranchise 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think our 3rd this year and maybe a 6th next year could get it done. He would have 2 years on his contract. If we like what we see, extend him. If not, he's a viable backup for 2 years Would love this move honestly. First round talent for a 3rd round pick is great value.

Building a run game with his scheme makes the job easier on the QB like a great Playcaller should..... Remember how most felt Tannehill was a freaking back up after his 6 years with Miami.... My point is this man has shown the ability to have a QB friendly system and developing a QB.... Another lowkey signing is TJ. Yates... Im interested to see if they do like a not 4th overall QBs..... Its some QBs that has potential but they will most def have to sit behind Mat 2 or 3 years and develop. This is why I have told people I don't think we go QB at 4 either. We either draft someone later in the draft to develop, or get one later. Same reason I don't see us going Sewell either. Why take him at 4 to play G and move him to LT in a few years? Jake is just fine at LT so why not trade down or get another position that we need. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would rather develop a later round pick. Unless Matt is gone for sure next year and Sam sits this one year. JohnnyFranchise and Mister pudding 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Over the past decade, he's the only dude who failed at first but then had multiple good seasons elsewhere. Foles and Keenum have had one-year revivals. Other than that, once a QB falls down, he doesn't get up. Herr Doktor 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm of the opinion that it wouldn't make a ton of sense to draft OL that high unless we're planning on trading Matthews to free up some cap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
