 Atlanta Falcons
In the wake of a 7-9 season and the ouster of coach Jim Mora, the question any potential Mora replacement has to be asking is: Are the Falcons a good team that lacked direction and motivation, or are they a team with a lot of holes? Either way, this isn't exactly one of the plum jobs in the NFL. With any other club, a new coach would look at how ...

Michael Vick is the most dangerous and best Q.B. in the league. He will be an Atlanta Falcon for life. He needs a supporting cast. They need to build that team around him. Arthur Blanks knows what he is doing. injuries hurt us this year. if we would have had the defence healthy we would have won the Super Bowl!! Everyone in the league is scared to death of michael vick. if art ever gets rid of him he might as well sell the team, and run for his life, and make sure he never come's back to atlanta for any reason. the city of atlanta won't stand for that!!!! Deangelo Hall also!!! how do you get rid of the fastest 40 yard dash time ever recored in the N.F.L.(4.1 3 times in 10 minutes) only one can do that, HIM!! (you don't)!!!atlanta is bless, they happen to get 2 in one life time. 99 percent of the team never get 1 in a lifetime. Please don't make that mistake, like you did when you let deion get away, and look what he did, won a SUPER BOWL, THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN OURS HAD YOU KEPT HIM. I mean after all who could hold him. no one at all never. when you have people like mike and deangelo you surround them with support and win at least 2 SUPER BOWLS!!!! RIGHT! RIGHT!! yOU GET RID OF THOse 2 and you loose all your fans, me 1st and you never have a winning season again, cause that will show that you don't know how to keep the players it takes to win. Mike is the most dangerous weapon the N.F.L. has ever seen in the history of the league!!!

I think Atlanta has a lot of the pieces to be a contender, maybe a little bigger D line and some health and they are right in the thick of it. I wonder who Blank will bring in? Will he become an owner like JJ, too much on field muddling? For some reason Atlanta reminds me of one of those NBA teams that has a lot of flash, a star player who can score, but you never really consider them for the championship. You buy the ticket to see them run the court, but you don't expect deep playoff pushes and rings.

Vick is the best quarterback in the Nfl. All he needs is fast wide recievers. The falcons need to trade Matt schaub to Oakland to acquire Randy Moss. Someone who can find a way to get open. The current recievers can't get open. They lack the experiance and Atheltic skill. The Falcons need a supporting cast that can match with vick's abilities.
