jetstream23 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 1 hour ago, SomebodytoAnybody47 said: Good. Get outta here. Curious to see how he approaches the QB spot down there. He loves low expectations. It's an underachieving team in a bad division. Lots of pieces except a QB down there. Low hanging fruit to get that team above .500 in Year 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenFish Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 This should be an interesting case study on the value of a good HC and owner. I fall in the boat that the QB is by far the most important person in the building. There’s only been a couple of HCs that have had consistent success without a top QB. But Atlanta does not have a good QB. So should be interesting. How much credit does a HC/Organization get for developing a QB? Will be interested to see where Atlanta is in 3 years. Not the Woody/JD 10 year plan which is crazy. If BB is able to find another QB, then Brady wasn’t all luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerous Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 49 minutes ago, jmat321 said: Lots of talent, sans a QB in a weak division. He probably could win the South with a game manager under center. Beat me to it. Arthur smith came close but it’s hard to win without a really good qb. Plus there won’t be any in game let down like the Super Bowl debacle with bellichicken.

Genuinely cares about the players. There's a great clip, he introduces himself to a player, tells him how he remembers his Dad (Joe Horn I think). It is so obvious he remembers this player from his team 15+ years ago, and taking the time in warmups to go out of his way to introduce himself to a kid on the other team. I worked at Home Depot for a few years in college. As soon as Blank left and they brought in Nardelli, the whole thing went to sh*t. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extmenace Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 35 minutes ago, Saul Goodman said: Chargers would seem to be a much better opportunity for him, or any coach, especially an older one that may not have the time and patience to develop a quarterback. Mahomes and Andy Reid are in that division. Atlanta has to deal with young, baker, and carr. The AFC arguably has 7 or 8 of the top 10 QBs in the NFL to boot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who thinks he’s a great defensive coach and a good HC who road Brady’s coattail, I think the bar is a little lower than replicating his success in NE. Honestly, if he’s able to build a consistent winner (ie above 500 and making the playoffs most years), I think that will stop some of the noise about his abilities without Brady. If they consistently are at or under 500, the Brady made him crowd will get louder. I’ll be watching one way or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonkertons Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 If the Falcons hire Belli and sign Cousins I’d say they’re a virtual lock for the playoffs. Draft a stud edge at 8, a solid WR in the 2nd and draft a kid after that you can develop behind Cousins. Not a bad situation for a new HC. just one thing to consider with Bill - he’s an old man who wants wins. I doubt he’s going to be interested in drafting a QB and banking on some kid to help get him the record. I honestly doubt he’d bank on Fields either. Kirk already had ties to ATL from his wife I believe. If BB is hired, I’d imagine Kirk would be his priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prime21 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I’m think Dallas dropped the ball here. Jerry and Bill are up there in age and should have joined forces to get another ring.

OMA Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Russ or Jimmy G seem like options with a young qb drafted but not a 8. They could get Fields for a 2nd rd pick but not sure he would be BB's preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JohnnyLV Posted January 18 Popular Post Share Posted January 18 2 hours ago, Adoni Beast said: Arthur Blank saying "If you can't beat em....hire em!" Let's face it. That was one of the worst coached games ever. All they had to do was run the ball, take the FG and then snap it at like 4 seconds for the rest of the game and they win if they just make 3 or 4 first downs in the rest of the game. Blank is on MTC a lot and he seems like a genuinely good person that cares for his staff, players and fans. More owners should be like him. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
