Falcon Fan here. Just dropped in to add my 2 cents to your Matt Schaub thread. Good luck with whatever happens and hope you have better luck this coming season.
youve obviously seen shaub play more than we have. what are your thoughts of him? is he just a good backup or can he carry a team throughout a whole season?
It's weird to me how much the Falcons hate the Eagles and vice versa. They seem to detest each other even more than their division rivals. I have a friend who's an Eagles fan and his hatred for the Falcons is scary. I would think that divisions rivals would elicit more hatred but it apparently isn't the case with those two teams.
Yeah...The recent bouts between us have sparked the hatred. Ultimately, it's obvious why we hate them. Most of their fans have no class, they're sore losers, and they ended our season twice in the last 4 years. I think they just do not like Michael Vick and become angered everytime they remember Chad Lavalais hit on McNabb that basically was the beginning of the end to their season that followed their 2nd NFC Championship. I noticed it even more when I went to their board and saw the Falcons get eliminated in a team elimination game and the Falcons get 72 votes for the most hated rival outside the NFC East to the next team's 10(Steelers). Either case, they suck.
Honestly what is the talk in Atlanta about you getting Abe. Also how can you guys think ABE is not worth a 2nd in conjuntion with Schuab.. Is this because of the stupid pick up with Price ( very dumb move picking up a small #2 reciever with one good season who was getting leftovers from Moulds) Or is it the whole "Favre fear again". This just does not make any sense to me..Abe will totally change the Defense and will make opposing Offense Coordinators shit themselves looking at the D next year...
There is nothing more satisfying on this Board when we have Knowledgeable posters from other teams joining up and contributing. - Some good info - Smack here and there - Gotta Love it! :up: Welcome aboard Bird Brains!!! :wink: (j/k of course)
Yes, welcome aboard. Refreshing not to have fans of other teams sign up just to scratch their nails across a blackboard, so thanks for that. "Bird Brain"s - hehehe. You see what you're dealing with here. :lol:
Matt Schaub At this point it's pure speculation to me also. I just am of the opinion that he is very poised, stands in the pocket (doesn't have happy feet), reads defenses well, can definitely get the ball downfield, accurate, and he can take off and run for yardage. I think if he gets a chance to play more than one or two games in a row and with an adequate O-Line he will be very good. Whatever happens, good luck...hope to meet you in the SuperBowl. :eaglessuck:
Ah we came very close in 1999. Elway COULDN'T have retired the year before right? One goddamn superbowl wasn't enough for the greedy bastard! Anyway, welcome aboard! :up: Falcons' fans are a classy bunch. I've run into a few in my time (and my good buddy is one). They've always been friendly, humble and a pleasure to talk too. And I agree...:eaglessuck:
