Wouldn't Cam Newton to Julio Jones be sacrilegious?

I'd like for Julio to end up in New England...but catching passes from Mac Jones.

Two other possibilities are being mentioned that are interesting.
To Green Bay with Aaron Rogers and to Tennessee with King Henry. I sort of hope he goes go NE and helps Mac get rolling, though a Julio/Henry combo would be something to see.

I hope he doesn't go bail Cam out. Hopefully it's Jones to Julio.

I think Green Bay is Julio's best chance to win it all. I'm no A-A-Ron fan but i want to see Julio with a ring...so I'm hoping for GB.

I'd really like to see Julio get a ring as well after such a stellar career to date. I don't care for Rodgers either, but Julio would put up big numbers there and they're a playoff caliber team with Rodgers at QB.
He'd have a better shot with the Patriots, 49ers or Colts as well...all legite playoff contenders.
Just don't ship him to Baltimore...they might as well be running the wishbone with Lamar Jackson at QB.

Even though I am a Saints fan and hate the falcons, it was sad seeing him get so incredibly close to a SB victory, only to have the Patriots make a miraculous comeback. The catch that he made before everything completely fell apart for the Falcons was one of most impressive catches I've ever seen.

I'm really hoping the Titans land him. They need another receiving threat outside of AJ Brown and you pair him with Derrick Henry and all of a sudden that offense becomes unstoppable. The defense would need to step up a bit to be a true contender.

It's really pathetic that Atlanta couldn't win it all with Julio on their team. Should have definitely been able to build a team around him.

They had all the pieces. They just had one of worst meltdowns/choke jobs of all time - primarily on the coaching staff

Also Matt Ryan is overrated as frick

That Atlanta Super Bowl meltdown pissed me off and I'm not even a Falcons fan really. Totally inept 2nd half coaching... should have fired them all on the spot.
I see the odds have Baltimore as the favorite to land Julio...that would suck. Worst offense in the NFL for a WR.

The media keeps covering for Lamar Jackson and it's so sickening. Great athlete but can't throw the ball against top level teams. The Ravens keep putting elite skill position talent around him but he's a running back playing QB. I pray that Julio goes to a better QB situation.

Lamar is Diet Vick on a better team. There would be worse places for Julio to go, but not many. If he's sent to the Ravens the productive part of his career is effectively over.

I love Julio to death and he's one of the greatest WRs of all-time, but you don't really "win Super Bowls" because you have a great WR. Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Terrell Owens and Randy Moss outside of New England never won Super Bowls - and those are 3 of the 10 best modern WRs of all time.
Dimitroff is a cuck and never put together a competent enough defense to complement the offense. The one year they were the closest to being complimentary and on the biggest heater, 28-3 happened.
Dimotroff (and because he enabled it so long, Blank) destroyed any chance at truly being a year in, year out Super Bowl competitor when they had a very good, consistent and durable QB and one of if not the best WR in the NFL by being dipshits with the coaching staff and defensive side of the roster. They let Smith stick around 1-2 years too long and they let dipshit Bro Quinn hang around 2 years too long.

We have never had all the pieces. Ever.
We've had all the pieces on offense, sure, but we've never had anything close to all the pieces on defense. We almost rode a heater to the Super Bowl before the 28-3 gag, but that team was completely built around getting a huge lead and letting young fast defenders run around and make enough plays to hold off comebacks by the opponent.

Agreed on the coaching issues (Coach Bro should have been fired right after the Super Bowl debacle), but Dimitroff being a flat out horrible drafter when it came to defensive players put the Falcons in the position they have found themselves in. All but 1-2 good players on the Falcons roster for years have been on offense, which led them to try to maintain team success with offense, which led them to invest far too much money into the offense, which is why they're in cap hell with no clear way out of it other than trading Julio.

Man, FVCK that guy. And frick Blank for continuing to find dumbass ways to keep him around. Remember when he "shared" GM duties with Pioli? LOL, what a frickin joke.
Dimitroff's 2013+ Defensive Drafts (First 3 Rounds)
- 2013 Desmond Trufant (#22) (LOL)
- 2013 Robert Alford (#60) (LOL)
- 2014 Ra'Shede Hageman (#37) (LOL)
- 2014 Dezmen Southward (#68) (LOL)
- 2015 Vic Beasley (#8) (LOLOLOLOLOL)
- 2015 Jalen Collins (#42) (LOLOLOLOLOL)
- 2016 Keanu Neal (#17)
- 2016 Deion Jones (#52) (the only draft they actually did a decent job)
- 2017 Tak McKinley (#26) (LOL)
- 2017 Duke Riley (#75) (LOL)
- 2018 Isaiah Oliver (#58) (LOL)
- 2018 Deadrian Senat (#90) (LOL)
- 2019 None
- 2020 AJ Terrell (#16)
- 2020 Marlon Davidson (#47)
Their best defender they basically lucked into that he was still sitting there super late and he was CLEARLY the best player left on the board (Jarrett). I guarantee they don't take him then if that wasn't the case.
That is absurd. I mean, you almost have to try to draft that poorly.

I don't feel like looking it up but I bet there are more guys on that list who were cut before their first contract was up than total Pro Bowl selections. Pretty sure Grady, a 5th rounder who was inexplicably still on the board, is the lone All-Pro defender Dimitroff picked in 13 drafts.

If by sacrilegious you mean....grown men getting their panties in a wad over two men throwing and catching a football for millions of dollars.
Yea, it's sacrilegious. It's sacrilegious AF.
Easy up, Pony boys.
