I wouldnt trade Caleb for anyone. The thing is, he still has a way to go too. Where hes heading is gonna be incredible. "Generational" you might say LOL I wasnt one using that word, but i did defend other people using it when it was part of "Generational Prospect" because of his ceiling, now hes taking steps to become that player. I do really think top 5 QB for Caleb next year is a likely goal.

We can beat or lose to pretty much any of these teams. Its up to us.

Yeah. I think of it like this: Some players are consistently mediocre. They never make amazing plays, and they dont make too many mistakes. Caleb is already elite on some throws, doing things no one else can do. But he is inconsistent on the more vanilla stuff. So which is the guy you want? I mean you can train ANY QB to get better at the regular things. You cant teach the elite qualities he already has. And as Caleb spends more time of COURSE hes gonna get better. I figure him for a top 5 QB next year. This offseason (which was only July) was teaching him footwork and how to play under center. Look where he's come! Next offseason is gonna be reading, identifying and defeating defenses in rhythm at a higher level. He's already shown a tremendous improvement in playing in rhythm for the first half of the season. So add being a functional regular QB to his skill set, and he is elite. Win a couple Superbowls and hes a Hall of Famer. Its not hard to see at all. Right now, he's not even good, but hes great, elite and special. And he is a winner. But he needs to get to good in the middle of the game, just running the regular offense.

hilarious

lol

agree - the whole thing is unclear!

And we will have a pass rush too!

And that was with 50% completion. Imagine how this is all going to look when they get more consistent. We are already special, and were not even that "good" yet.

I think thats for players? These are comp picks for losing a minority front office guy elevated to GM.

We have our QB. The discussion is over. Caleb is a franchise QB. The Pack is no longer our owners, we got that monkey off of our back definitively. We won the division, and we beat them in the playoffs. It's OVER. Bears are the better team now. Lets see how far we can ride this. We either play the Rams or the Eagles next. We've beaten the Eagles already, and the Rams didnt look superhuman today against the Panthers. And then next year, with a pass rush, we are coming for it all.

We are about 4 feet away on a single Caleb pass from having beaten the Pack 3-0 this year. We are the best team in the NFC North. The curse is over. Pack is second best. Lets GO!

Biggest, most important game for the franchise in a LONG time. Not just to win the WC round playoff game, but to beat the Packers to do it. Let's not beat em at the last second, lets dominate them and break their will. That's what I want. a STATEMENT win.

I didnt see the rumors - Ashkum did, I was just playing with the idea. It sounds far fetched for the reasons you just said, but id be all for it of course.

yes please - Id love that. Make it that Atlanta signs Cunningham, then trades him for Poles - we get the compensatory picks too then LOL

thank you

Yeah ones gonna be Pres and the other ones gonna be GM, and theyre just figuring it out. If it was me, I think the player goes President, and the asst GM goes GM.

thank you! and can we trade next years pick this year? I feel like there has been some prohibition on that with compensatory picks in the past, but not any more, but again, Im not an expert.

yeah, I mean it doesnt cost them anything, so they are just thinking about who they want for what job I guess. My instinct is that it WOULD count and wed get the picks, but I dunno. I mean they're trying to get "minorities" jobs right? And you're trying to incentivize teams to have "minority" assistant GMs, so why wouldn't you award this? I mean the whole thing is dumb to me anyway. Teams will hire whoever they think can win with, I dont think the NFL is racist. But I also dont mean to open a whole can of worms or any kind of discussion about that right now, 24 hours before the playoff game! And if theyre handing out 3rd round picks for anything, Ill take as many as I can get, no matter why.

Found this - not sure it answers anything, but its out there.

I see where Ian Cunningham is being strongly considered for GM or President of the Falcons. I know that if he becomes GM, we will get two 3rd round compensatory picks. I assume the same would be true if they tab him for President, but Im not sure, so if anyone knows Id love to know: 1) do we still get the picks if he is President and not GM? 2) do we get the first of those picks in this year's draft, and the next one next year? 3) are the picks tradeable? 4) are both the picks tradeable this year? Might be helpful for moving up int he first round for a pass rusher, or in trade for one. Thanks to anyone who knows and can tell me!

The man in the High Tower is holding him back.

Lets Go!

can can can

lol yes

All good news. And as long as Kyler Gordon can stay in there and be effective, we probably wont miss CJGJ Saturday.
