That's it?

Right? How does that compute with the other QB hauls we've seen?

Wait, are people pretending Matt Ryan is more than the bum they said he was?

It was abundantly clear last season that he's not a good fit in Arthur Smith's offense.

Matt Ryan is/was 'serviceable'.. so while he's not a world beater, he's better than what they have at Indy, and what is left in ATL can't be seen as an uptick.

The amount of starting QBs, star QBs at that, moving around this year is unprecedented. Jimmy G and Baker Mayfield are still up for grabs too. I can't recall anything like this in my lifetime.

Our schedule sucks this year, but I heart the NFC South. That should be at least 5, if not 6.

You'd think they'll be able to beat the Saints at least once. Right?

Well they just landed Mariota.

Tell me I'm not the only one hoping for a Saints vs Falcons prime time meeting. Winston vs Mariota II. Who can come out looking less shitty than the other?

The debate alone would be worth it.

Root for a tie, obviously. Something like 12 - 12. I'm thinking a pick 6, safety, and fg for each team.

Those Winston vs Mariota battles might actually be fun when we don't have a stake in the matchup

I think when the past two champions seem to be so directly from QB trades, it make sense that these moves are becoming more common

If by “some time” you mean since the resurrection of Christ then you’re correct.

Good point .. I was thinking it was due to the lack of talent in the draft, but your theory is much more likely.

So Colts SB Champs '23?

I think you’re correct. Add in that most of the league is now using the Saints’ method of cap management and I believe this movement is here to stay.

McIrish free tip for NFL GM's:

When you wonder about a QB going into year #5, lot of unanswered questions about Baker......

There's your definitive answer - you move on.

Let's join you.....

We move on.

Mary-Otta would look worse.

Winston liable to be a stud this year if he stays healthy......

5-2 last year, 11 TD's and 3 picks before he got hurt.

Plus with the extra time in his team's offense he will easily out play Mary-Otta in his new home.

Two things I love about this play.

1. Marpet pulling and beating the defender to the edge.

2. Look at big ol Donovan Smith haul ass downfield to blow up the safety!
