They're going to make noise, but their division is going to be one of the best in football. Tomlin is always pulling something out of his hat though. I was rooting for the falcons in both SBs they were in so there’s that. I also drove through Atlanta once on my way to Tampa Bay. Those are my only connections.

I went to the Falcons-Steelers game with my wife and her dad and brother (also Steelers fans obviously), and I got looked at like I was the "weird in-law" by the Steelers fans who were at the game. (and the game was in Atlanta). Edited June 9, 2023 by scar988 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ridder is underwhelming and replaced after this season does he still have top 10 all-time QB potential? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every player drafted this year has top-10 at their position all-time potential; if it doesn't happen, hey, it's just that they didn't hit their potential. And since nobody can measure "potential," I can never be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since nobody can measure "potential," I can never be wrong. It’s just an absurdly odd way of looking at things. You won’t find a bigger Joe Burrow stan than me, and he’s accomplished quite a bit in three years - NFL Comeback Player of the Year in 2021, Super Bowl appearance in 2021, Pro Bowl and AFC Conference Final appearance last year, current all-time record holder for completion % (which is a roundabout way of saying he’s been one of the most accurate passers all time, thus far), 3-1 vs a future GOAT in Mahomes, universally recognized as a current top 3 QB, and completely changed the culture of a franchise/city for the better - yet, not once have I considered his “potential” to supplant the top 10 greatest ever. Why? Because we literally just started, and so much needs to happen over the next 5+ years to even consider it. Do I think he will win MVP(s)? Yes. Do I think he will win a Super Bowl(s)? Yes. Even if he does, does that guarantee him a top 10 spot all-time? No. A guy like Burrow is heading in the right direction and is proving it. A guy like Ridder has just expunged from the womb and hasn’t proven a damn thing relative to anything resembling a franchise player, or even just starting caliber QB for that matter. It’s all just very odd and off putting. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
