Semi-OT: Atlanta has fired HC Dan Quinn and GM Tom Dimitroff

[ctpatsfan77]

They still haven't recovered from 28–3, and their disastrous 2020 start was too much.

The Pats-related question: would you bring Dimitroff back? He used to be college scouting director.

 

[Jangles]

If 21-3 is this hard on them then imagine how hard they’re still taking 28-3

 

[Triumph]

Curse of the BBino.

Matty P can't be too far behind.

BB warned Dimitroff about trading 5 picks to draft Julio Jones. That trade weakened them over the years. Jones contract overtime again weakened them. Jones could barely finish a season healthy. 28-3 was their one and only chance to win with this group and we happened to be in their way.
The Sanu trade was a win for them but overall, Dimitroff has not done a good job.

Yeah but didn’t BB say that Baldwin wasn’t too far of a drop off from Julio had ATL stood pat?

Jon Baldwin had the talent, he needed a place that was going to instill discipline and hard work. Did he start with Todd Haley and then later Romeo? He did not get that playing for the Chiefs with Cassel throwing to him. Additionally, that wrist injury completely derailed his growth.
Your landing spot in the NFL can make or break you. For example, if the Jets gets Trevor Lawrence, he will become a wreck. That does not mean he was not good.

We’ve destroyed oh so many franchises..

This firing should have happened last year IMO. I always felt that Atlanta had so much individual talent and they always underachieved .

we broke the falcon franchise ... that entire coaching staff never should have survived the 28-3 debacle

 

[TheRainMaker]

It's about time.

They need to move on from Matt Ryan as well.

 

[Patriot Missile]

I thought both were given legitimate opportunities to get the job done. It just ran it’s course. The culprits who denied them a Championship reside as a head coach for the San Francisco 49ers and some QB for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

I agree things could’ve been better for Baldwin had he gone to a better place. He could’ve been a solid wr. But this shows the difference in overall talent between the 2. Baldwins make or break depended on where he went; Julio would’ve been a star wherever he landed.

Even with the Jets? Who will have been throwing him the ball?

 

[Art_Vandelay421]

Is that Miss Vickie??

Yeah....and then I would sign him for chump change and immediately dump Hoyer.
