    The Reasons Why They Drafted This Way

    Good post. BPA was the way to go. This wasn't a win now move, it will have positive salary cap implications 3 or 4 years down the road. We can reallocate money spent on safeties to CBs which have higher positional value. I love big uglies over WRs but this gives us options with...

    Not acquiring Mayfield proves Hawk mgmt wants to tank...

    People are arguing over shingles or herpes.If you dont have a top ten QB you are going to struggle. Lock, Geno, Mayfield or Jimmy are all getting you nowhere. I am going to enjoy the purge and look forward to young guys developing.

    Are we really that good through the air?

    That is an extremely naive view of the world. A top 10 QB will always be treated better than a SS or CB. Its the most difficult and demanding job in sports. Any player who cries about that needs to shut up, grow up and worry about doing his job.

    Wilson did what he could with the tools he had.He will never be Brady or Manning or Brees. Nobody should expect that.99% of all QBs in the history of the NFL never reach that level. The players complaining were the baskets cases that were a big part of the collapse.

    You dont treat your thoroughbreds and leader like plowhorses. Even Lombardi knew this and treated Star differently.Most great coaches do this.

    Free Agency

    I hope they keep their powder dry until the foundation players are drafted and start developing. High priced free agents wont be a big game changers this year unless its a elite QB. See what we can get in the draft or trades and churn baby churn. Weed out the ones that dont want to be here...

    One thing we can perhaps all agree on?

    Im glad Pete didn't come out and say "I'm sick of this turd I can't wait to dump him". Or Russ to come out pulling an AR. They handled it mostly in house, except the leaks. It doesnt matter to me who leaked. I think they handled their business as well as can be expected. They arent going...

    Who is our next QB? 70 million would be useless with no QB?!

    I'm really not worried about a QB until the D gets turned around. Build the team and hope you find the right guy when they are ready to win.

    Any Carroll defenders now?

    Well he could have pulled a Payton act and mortgage the future leaving the team in cap hell then quit. I didnt think he would pull the trigger on the trade considering the dead money hit on Wilsons contract and I am bummed that he did,but this team is in pretty good shape with draft capitol...

    Sean Payton Steps Down As Saints HC...

    That might be the worst coaching job open right now. They could let all their FAs walk and still might not be under the cap. That team was run into the ground and he just bailed on them.

    METCALF

    I dont think anyone wants to lose him. He is a top WR. My idea of Cap Hell is paying your WRs 40 mil and not being able to afford fixing the trenches. Next year is his last cheap year and right now we lack RBs, C, OT, pass rush and CBs. Without fixing those I dont think it matters who the...

    Hawks-WORST NFL team in the last 18 years-Time Of Possession

    Of course they did. They spent the time installing a new O only to scrap it after having a good start.

    Hawks-WORST NFL team in the last 18 years-Time Of Possession

    It is more than just one side of the ball taking all the blame. Plenty of holes on both sides. The Indy game is used as the holy grail of the new offense, I think its a great example of what went wrong this year on both sides of the ball. Our O had 6 drives with 5 plays or less, none of...
