This team would be in serious trouble if Ryan went down. He was also given a team that had 1500 yard rusher Michael Turner and 1300 yard receiver roddy white. So it’s not like he’s ever proven himself with the cupboard bare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same 4-12 team that signed Michael Turner over the offseason. He was the reason for their improvement, not Matt Ryan who just put one foot in front of the other during his rookie season and mostly didn’t screw things up. Turner was the driving force behind that team and a legitimate mvp candidate, not Matt Ryan with his 16 TDs to 11 INTs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Turner was not a proven back when Atlanta signed him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayRaider Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Probably. Although I wouldn't be shocked if they gave him 2020, just depends what coaches are on the market and how comfortable Atlanta is with a change. 2020 would certainly be playoffs or bust though.

He was solid but not anything more than a qb that could be argued over some of the guys in the back end of the top 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t argue with that after last season, but that’s also the only year of his career that he’s come close to matching the output of his mvp season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartica4Real Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 The fact that as soon as Kyle Shanahan left they went downhill makes me attribute a lot of their success more to him. I don't think Quinn is a terrible coach, but he's definitely a mediocre one that they'd be wise to move on from. So we can only hope they don't! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB Doug22 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Yes, and Dirk Koetter will replace him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Hot seat? No. On notice to be fired at the end of the season? Yep. Pink slip is already in the mail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronjon1990 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I'd say he's on the hot seat for sure. My question is if an 8-8, 9-7 season gets him the Jason Garrett 9-lives treatment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLcheesehead12 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Well, I do think his failure to capitalize on his chance to win the Superbowl a few years ago is something he's got stuck to him right now. Had he found a way to win that game, he'd probably have a lot more good will built up in ATL and a lot more respect around the league. I think he's made a couple mistakes: 1. Not getting the right replacements for Kyle Shannahan, bad choice on bringing in Sarkisian, and even though Koetter had been the OC in Atlanta before, I'm not really feeling it was good idea to try and just get back the band there 2. Correct me if I'm wrong, but seems like I've heard Quinn has delegated the defensive scheming and game planning to his assistants, a move that might be good for some teams, but I feel like if you want the identity that the 2012 Florida Gators and 2013-2014 Seahawks had, he needs to be running it himself. Just simply giving input and being involved won't get that done. Now there's just something that tells me it's early, the Saints only have a one game lead without Brees, the Panthers and Bucs aren't looking good, ATL has talent and i feel like Quinn and company can get it figured out. Gonna have to do better on the road sooner or later, but gotta let things play out. If his team finishes like 6-10 or worse, then yeah he's probably done. Anything above that, he probably gets one more do or die year. Only coach I really think should be on the scorching hot seat at the moment is Jay Gruden, and that's because he's brought mediocrity to Washington and after hearing his presser last night I'd have to say he looks like a carbon copy of Jeff Fisher in there.
