Atlanta is screwed


Recommended Posts

The announcers on Fox were giving the old "they have a great future" speech you give to the losing team in the playoffs. But I think the Falcons are on the express elevator to the basement. They are stuck with Michael Vick at QB because the owner Arthur Blank loves his ass, and he sells merch and tickets. But Vick is a mediocre QB despite the Nike ads. They will keep trying to build a team around him, and he's their biggest problem!

Yep. Much like the Colts...

Both teams are built around a player that will never deliver the goods when it counts. :devil:

Not sure if you are being sarcastic, but what you say is true. What good is a TD record, when your team will never get a sniff of a title?

That's ridiculous. What was McNabb's rating at 24 years of age? 78.8. Vicks? 78.1. Did McNabb take his team to the playoffs and win in his first two full years as a starter?

 

Come on, Vick still has a lot to learn about the passing game, but he's a special player who will only get better. He may not be a prototypical QB, but he has shown that what he does helps his team win, and that's what it's all about.

 

Do you think the duo of Dunn and Duckett would have as much success running the ball as they did this year without the threat of the play action bootleg threat? The fact is that the Falcons are on the verge of being a very very good team.
