Smart move to trade him. Falcons should be bad enough to get one of the top QB's in 23 if they dont pick one in the upcoming draft. I think they should have gotten a better return however.
I can’t imagine a worse 5 year run for a franchise since 28-3.
There’s no better owner in sports than Arthur Blank and the degree by which incompetence has infected that organization is incredible. I think they made all the right hires, signed the right players, invested in the right people and it didn’t matter.
The best thing for the Falcons is to completely bottom out and remove every remembrance of 2016.

Smith was a good OC. The Titans were definitely more innovative on offense while he was here. Of course good OCs don't always make good HCs, but I think there is hope there if you can bring in the right QB. The problem with the Falcons is that they are bad basically everywhere.

It feels like a massive reach for a QB at 6. Hopefully Carolina trades back, could probably still get Willis.
So which qb is ATL looking to get in the ‘23 draft?

I am happy Matt Ryan gets to play for a contender for the first time in his career. I also think Mariota can be a serviceable QB if he doesn't get hurt.

I mean there's a flaw with drafting BPA. Pitts is a once in a generation talent. Falcons went for that. Pitts was probably the best draft prospect in the draft. And with the only 3 QBs worth taking off the board 1-2-3 drafting a QB would have been dumb. I'd rather have Pitts than say trade down and tkae Mac Jones or Josh Fields.

Jameis back to Saints 2 year deal 28 million. Interested to see how he does if he isnt throwing to UDFA this year.
