It’s one of the best signings I’ve ever seen, given the price. I always liked Felix in Seattle and he was THE guy that helped me understand how misleading pitcher wins is as a statistic. Would love for him to revive his career here!

He has $12.8M left over two years $41.5M contract. If you want to throw in his 2017 season, he has a little over 1500 rushing yards in three years.

Other than that, fine attempts at excuses for a terrible contract given to a tiny, trash running back

That’s not Dirk’s fault, but occasionally it’s worth noting the spectacular incompetence of this organization at every level.

Why not have open competition for the PK gig? Last year was an absolute disaster at this very position because of this very same decision to name a starter before camp. SMH

Don’t think any of us saw the Birds taking two OL in the first round last year, so this is all speculation based on logic and need (two positions the Falcons routinely ignore in the draft, ha). I’d be fine with this draft with the only caveat being that I hope we can do better than Cam Akers.

While I agree about how maddening his tenure seems from the outside, if you watched it from start to finish it was readily apparent to all but Falcon brass: mediocre talent, burdened further by comparisons to the production of a running back taken a few spots later and his own lackadaisical desire to be dominant. The only truly "maddening" aspect of this whole thing (to me) was the arrogant insistence by those in charge that they were right about him and that we just couldn’t see it.

He seems to be getting a lot of attention after the Senior Bowl.

I saw giving Vic the option year as a sign of the organization’s arrogance and refusal to admit a mistake. As for Shanny, I thought I was happy for his success, but then discovered during the game that I wasn’t quiiite ready to see him hoisting the Lombardi for another team so soon. Human beings, man.
