Trade Pitts to the jets for Zach Wilson. Fresh start for both.

Of course they’re going to win 3 meaningless games to end the season and duck up the draft pick.

They will miss out on a qb at this point.

NFC South as a whole has the worst collection of NFL head coaches ever.

BREAKING NEWS - Falcons' coach Arthur Smith was detained at a bus stop in Chicago wearing only his Falcons shirt with no pants. He was brandishing a Microsoft Surface tablet at bystanders and repeating "Derrick? Derrick? Where are you?"

Request for comment by Falcons team owner was met by "No comment - I don't know anyone named Arthur Smith."

Maybe we can trade up to try and get Daniels or something because both our QBs are fricking arse

As it stands, they would pick 9th. Based on hypothetical team needs, the 3rd of the top 3 QBs could fall to 9.

Blank declined talking to the media yesterday. Even though there is still a chance at making the playoffs, I think Smith might be gone.

I want them to get Todd Monken. After his fast turn around with Baltimore after year one he will be a hot commodity. His offense would really thrive with the offensive players on the Falcons.

Monken would make too much sense.

I honestly thought the Falcons were eliminated from playoff contention. Just read earlier that if they win and TB loses, the Falcons are in.
I hate to be pulling for a Falcons loss on Sunday, especially against the Saints but damn this team needs a good draft.

Maybe we’ll just beat the Saints and TB wins.

Monken as our HC with Daniels as our QB would be great insane

Monken seems like too much of a hardass for Blank's liking. Blank will only hire a yes man. It's why Harbaugh or Belichick would never come here (Belichick would be a bad idea anyways). Both of them would have the balls to tell Blank to get off the sideline and stay out of football operations stuff.

I thought Smith was this before he got here.

I’m still not sold on firing Smith. Three words. Ridder and Heinike.

I'm not a big Blank guy but I don't have an issue w/him on the sidelines. It's his team, he can do what he wants.

His issue is that he needs to hire a dedicated president of team ops who will run the coaching search instead of hiring a search firm every damn time.

He keeps making the same mistakes over and over again.

I wouldn't be shocked if Blank tries to hire Belichick. That is an Arthur move.

Fontenot isn't going anywhere. Nor should he.

Monken would be a fantastic hire IMO.

ETA:I see my stalker/serial downvoter has followed me here. Happy New Year.
