falcons007 24,633 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 What did ESPN say before the hiring? Falcons HC and GM were least attractive because of Ryan and Julio cap problems. Andrews_31, FalconBlood, JDaveG and 14 others 8 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PriMeTiiMe 7,924 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) What else could he say in a F2F meeting with the cameras on? "Hey Matt, you suck but nice to meet you! Be on the lookout for a trade here soon bud" Not saying what he said isn't true, But of course he is going to give high praise to his new teams QB.

The true feelings are off camera behind closed doors. blknoble357, #84, celtiksage and 2 others 2 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All these fans will be crying when he finally retires and we have to play the QB lottery. This is a classic example of the grass is greener on the other side.

There isn’t a need to add He was factor in taking the job. I’ve been on these boards over 2 decades. Anytime a direct quote is given shattering a detractor narrative the standard denial response is “what do you expect him to say” Even if it is a wide open question like “who do you really like on the defensive side of the ball?” If the new coach or GM specifically mentions a player that is hated by some, the response is “what did you expect him to say” JDaveG, Herr Doktor, GrimeyKidd and 6 others 6 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can see coach speak something nice about a player in public. But, TF had no reason to lie in front of the camera. I would trust TF and AS more than clowns on AJC,CBS and ESPN.

Herr Doktor 8,519 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Being completely transparent is asinine in business. Tipping your hand at all removes ANY leverage you have moving forward. Teams do not sit around and Koombaya around a camp fire doling out equality for all. This **** is savage and is a billion dollar industry. AB would love to see Falcons endorsed items worn by half the country. You don't think Jerry Jones doesn't just love seeing Cowboys stars on kids from The Florida Keys to Barrow Alaska pimping his ****? Godzilla1985 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He took the job didn't he? Him and Arthur had other options. Also he came from a team that had a 40+ year old qb.

You and I know this, many here know this, but to those who feel we should get rid of Ryan and enter a 3 year rebuild construction project, that statement shattered their world. “What do you expect him to say” is a coping mechanism. Hopefully they will come around at some point and join those of us living in reality. Falcons Fan MVP, marvinthemartian, GrimeyKidd and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We could keep Matt Ryan another 5 years if we really wanted to. Hopefully he wins a SB in 2022 or 2023 to get the fans off his back. falcons007 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same with Julio They should both take a pay cut in 2022. The Bucs are doing it. We can't compete with the Bucs like that. I say ,2022 because it will take 2 years to be a contender.

nevesmetro 58 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) Maybe???? The real person who Matt Ryan made the Falcons job so attractive for was Dean Pees? Maybe???? Edited February 24 by nevesmetro Tandy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Killing Floor 1,013 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Not a mind reader. Or am I, mwah haha. But if TF is keeping and extending Ryan he’ll say he’s an attractive asset and if TF is trading Ryan he’ll say he’s an attractive asset. We will know his intentions after draft and FA and preseason. I’m not saying I anticipate a move. Just that no professional is going to advertise one now. rounz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Killing Floor 1,013 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 And also there are a crappe tonne of things that make his job attractive. Probably top 2 GM job openings this year. Maybe number 1. Next Shirt Slogan Here!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
