But if I were the GM, I will trade down for a 2021 first and second round pick and 2022 first pick. With the first round pick I will get the Alabama running back. Then the first of the two second round I will get an offense lineman. The second of the two second rounder I will get another running back. The third round pick I will get another offense Iineman lol. Fourth round I will get a linebacker. Fifth round a blocking tight end ..

@josebocanegra4477 5 ай бұрын

😒 Choosing Arthur Smith and Terry Fontenot were fashionable, herd-like, yet risky, moves. 🙎 One of the main problems is that they kept an irreversibly declining QB Ryan that Fontenot and Smith should have dumped right away and replaced with a competent interim or permanent successor right away, and they later compounded that mistake by bringing in obviously inferior QB replacements (e.g. Mariota, Ridder, Heinicke, Franks) 🤦 The Falcons also clearly missed on the DC, getting someone who had already retired twice and was not up to the job any longer.

Ok ! Now ! 40 plus years as a fan of our Falcons ! It's another fire and hire of coaches and GM ,well the GM is a new way of thinking! But for so many years of total disappointments ,to 5 straight winning seasons,then disappointment, then 8-8 with a whole lot of potential ! Then the 16 season, the almost greatest season ever! Unlike the 98 season, because then nobody expected the Falcons to go 14-2 ! The Superbowls have not been kind at all to the Falcons! Eugene Robinson with the arrest the night before the big game ! Bad outcome !!! 2016 the last 17 minutes of the big game and a 25 point lead !!! Bad outcome !!! The curse needs to be broken and we all need Redemption from the past !!! Its time for a new generational transformation! We Fans don't want to listen to the chatter ,we had DQ and TD for way to much of that ! We Fans just want a Championship,our 1st !!! Then and only then will I listen to the raw raw raw of the new HC and GM ! So win 1st and talk later ! Just win Baby !!!

So we all now know we can blame Rich McKay for bringing these two losers to Atlanta and now fans have suffered from ongoing failures. 14-20. A gm who does not understand the gm position, instead acts like a woke hr manager concerned more about off field than winning and on field. Arthur Smith zero headcoach experience period and it shows 14-20. Two major losers who will be replaced along with McKay too. Perhaps McKay got b ad info or was he fooled or has he just been in place too long.
