    Made some good points though. And a lot of coaches will feel like they're great if they have great players.

    For example, Allen Sitterle thought he was a great coach in SC because he had d-1 caliber OL playing for him until he moved to Georgia and got his shit handed to him regularly.

    Matt Ryan will be the Falcons Qb when I'm 95 and on my death bed

    Any criticism against Ryan's play aside, it's been incredible he's lasted this long with almost always a shitty O-Line and only missed maybe 3 or 4 total games in his career. *knocks on wood*

    Yeah it’s pretty impressive. The majority of his career he’s had shit blocking And good running backs like half the time.

    Gifted with Siemian in at QB for the Saints and we will probably blow this game.

    We can’t make the playoffs so blowing the game is the goal.

    The depressing thing is we can only improve on the margins and have to nail draft picks and bargain bin free agents to succeed

    Not sure why Ollison hasn't gotten more carries. Seems to run hard every time he gets a carry.

    I feel like this stat and the defense only having 18 sacks or whatever really absolves Smith/Ryan from this mess of a season.

    You just can’t do anything being the worst in this category on both offense and defense.

    I think had we won the Super Bowl I would view him differently. Now I just like take a fucking pay cut if you are going to stay. I don't blame him for fleecing the clowns that handed him that contract though.

    It's going to be interesting to see how they handle is money this off-season, especially if they trade Ridley which should free up cap space.

    Is Ridley asking to be traded? Damn it would hurt to lose him but I get it.

    It’s hard not to hate him currently. Face of the franchise, making a ton of money, team has been awful for 4 seasons now. I just think when you look at the ol/dl stats it’s clear this team is failing bc of how bad we are in the trenches. The problem is by the time our lines are fixed he will probably actually be awful

    Read earlier Ryan has had more roughing passer calls than any other QB since 2010.

    He's missed one game in those 12 years though and he's got the most pass attempts as well. So he kind of wins that one by default. Remarkable how durable he's been.

    So roughly what do we think it would take to resign CP? Whats he looking for? 3 years $15m kind of deal?

    Over The Cap valued him at $8.8 mil per year. I think he would take a team friendly-ish deal to stay in Atlanta for a few more years but I would honestly be surprised if he's on the team next year.

    They might want to cut him 2 or 3 more times just to make sure that $29 mil doesn't get his name on it.

    Jesus, I know Ryan has restructured his contract a few times, but fuck couldn't he just take one for the team and do it again if he wants his team to be competitive? Or is it a lot more complicated than that?

    It'll get restructured.

    Cap is going up this year isn't it?

    Also Julio and Fowler will account for $20 mil in dead cap space this year. And assuming Ridley is traded that would free up $11 mil.
