All the money being spent around, its no reason we should be losing like this. Even the stadium was a waste of money

Well definitely time to redo GM and Coaching staff. You can’t just blow up a team but time to gut it a good bit and start over.

Problem is there are a lot of shitty teams this season! We have 1 win and are barely inside the top 10 on draft position.

I think Quinn definitely needs to go but I'd leave him alone though until the end of the year. Rather play for a higher draft pick. Had they not screwed up and won the last 3 worthless games last year they would've been picking 4th. Fire them all after that and bring in a new regime.

One thing that needs to happen is Arthur Blank needs to step away and quit micromanaging. Stay off the sidelines. Hire a GM and let them do their thing for better or worse. Ted Turner use to be way to involved and the Braves never turned it around until he brought Bobby Cox back after firing him and made him the GM and got out of the way. Arthur needs to do the same thing.

5 stripes are bringing in money and fans. Probably more so than the Falcons. So I wouldnt say it was a waste. Just an unexpected return of investment.

The Falcons could go 0-16 in perpetuity and make 20X what United does.

For better or worse, the Falcons have PSLs. Which means, they've virtually sold out of all of their games - whether or not anyone goes is up to the fans. The risk of loss is now on them. That plus TV revenue... the Falcons are the richest team in the city and it ain't close.

Hope they turn it around... Braves, United, and even Hawks all have arrows pointing way, way up.

Blank has stepped back some over the past few years, but I am not sure TD is safe either. If that is the case, then Blank will have his hands all over this.

I totally agree with your let Quinn ride out 2019 sentiment. Like wtf are we going to do with an in-season replacement.

Lincoln Riley is my first choice, but I am starting to think he wants to stay there.

The building/organization makes more off concerts and other events than they do from United.

Clean house. Trade for early draft picks. Easy solution.

Aside from Julio and Grady, who could we actually trade for an “early” draft pick?

Given his age and contract, I don't think Julio would get more than a 3rd.

Matthews seems like the most obvious trade candidate if the team goes down that route.

Put Trufant, Campbell, Sanu, Freeman, Matthews on the trade block and see what kind of offers come around
