I can see 2/80 but I don't see the Falcons going over that.

I do see the possibility of him taking less due to coming off of the injury and because his wife was born and raised 15 miles north of downtown Atlanta.

Yeah, it is. Most on here thought he was a top-10 pick and thought he was gonna be the next great one but looking back he was extremely over-drafted.

Myself and a few others weren't impressed w/him and we ended up being right.

I'm not saying you are wrong, but we thought the same thing last year when the Saints signed Carr

You keep saying it, doesn’t make it true

Mac jones is probably one of the most hated players on this board since his time at Alabama. this is straight up false

Here’s a pre draft Mac Jones thread that asks the prescient question of “how good do you think Mac Jones will be”

LINK

Not sure I can find one reply in this one that is more positive than “Ryan Fitzpatrick”. Here’s some highlights

quote:

I don't see anything special. JMHO


quote:

I don’t have high expectations I’m not usually one to hold it against a QB for being on a good team but this is another level. He’s not going to know what to do when there isn’t 10 seconds to throw and 7 yards of separation he had this year


(Hey that was me!)

quote:

Brandon Allen/Aj McCarron type career. He will eventually get his opportunity to start.


quote:

Like a Case Keenum. Good enough to start in a pinch, but not a long-term solution.


quote:

Love Mac. I think he'll be somewhere between Kirk Cousins and Ryan Fitzpatrick. I don't see him becoming a top 10 NFL QB, but I'd love to be wrong. His biggest strengths are his smarts, his anticipation, and his movement in the pocket. He lacks much athleticism and his arm is just ok.

I can keep going

Needless to say, I'm conflicted about this.

KC8 is:

- MAGA AF
- Pureblood AF
- Loves Christ Almighty
- All around great yuman

But so hard to root for the Vikings and (now) potentially the Falcons?

The Falcons are not in any window. They are a lost franchise. Get a franchise QB in the draft and then hope. Sure, getting Cousins will win the division and then a first round bounce. Does that move the needle? Move up, draft Daniels and you’ll actually build excitement. Signing Cousins will win us some games but nothing in the playoffs. Then in 4 years we’ll be right back at this same point.

I'd trade the 2024 1st, 2025 1st, 2024 2nd, 2025 3rd, and one of Kyle Pitts, Bijan Robinson, or AJ Terrell to Washington for the #2 pick and take Jayden Daniels.


That’s an absolute shite load to get rid of.

That's the kind of deal that cripples a franchise if it strikes out.

I don't think that's the route they're going. They are gonna go with a veteran QB and draft JJ or Penix to sit behind Cousins and take over in two years. Blank wants to win now and a rookie doesn't automatically incure that you'll win immediately

Blank wants to win now.

That means the top-3 QBs are out. He wants to win now. That means a veteran (Cousins)and drafting a McCarthy or Penix to sit behind him for a couple of years And then take over. The Green Bay model.

And that is the most plausible scenario.

He’s not going to tie that much money into Cousins and a 1st round QB to sit. He may go after Cousins but won’t draft a QB in the 1st round.

If he wants to do it the right way, he will.

But this is Arthur Blank were talking about.

I can see the Falcons going 3/100. That's 33.3 AAV.


Only missed the mark by about a year and 80 mil

quote:

The #Falcons are signing Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million contract that includes a $50M signing bonus, per sources. Another monster payday for Cousins, who gets $100 guaranteed — $90M in 2024 and ‘25, plus another $10M in 2026 — and a fresh start in Atlanta at age 35.

Giving Cousins a bunch then immediately drafting a QB in the top 10 would be asinine in general and even dumber if the thought is that Blank wants to win now.
