No, the magic of the Mannings is the weird Zoom thing. If you take them out of that and put them in the booth instead, we’re going to lose out on them shooting the poo poo and talking trash about garbage QBs because suddenly there’s expectations.

It would seem like the Falcons are legitimately interested in Watson and not just trying to drive up the price on the Panthers and Saints as speculated.

People notice if announcers are really good or really bad, and the slate of people they had after Tirico left PBP, or the color guys after Gruden left, AFAIK all got various levels of negative responses from even casual viewers.

Are the Falcons sans Matt Ryan the worst roster in the league? If so, yes that's a good place for Watson to end up.

Don't worry he retired from being an announcer to gain 2 yards per catch for a year in the NFL after that happened, so we didn't need to talk about it. Worked out well for everyone in the end.

Oh god looking it up I totally forgot he spent a year with the Raiders to end his career. 13 touches on the year, he was active for every game.

e: Just considering stuff after looking everything up, he's going to be a hall of famer because he accumulated a hell of a lot of stats but he's one of the more boring hall of fame locks I can think of. I can't remember either being excited about or hating Jason Witten when he wasn't talking during that broadcast stint. Other than just random Cowboy player dislike I guess.

Mayfield on the Seahawks could be fun.

re: Overtime changes. Imagine being gassed on defense in the final drive of regulation and going to overtime, losing the coin toss, and not being able to stop the offense from scoring a TD and the 2-point conversion.
Maybe something like this:

I think Baker to the Colts would make their odds to win the AFC South about even with TEN.

Carr would bump them ahead.

I imagine if the Falcons trade for Watson they are doing a separate deal to move Ryan and then flip whatever they get to the Texans for Watson + some draft picks.

Matt Ryan looks like the perfect Colts QB right now, except they literally don't have poo poo to trade back lol

Colts still have draft capital, but it would have to be with a team that's fine with a 2023 first round pick. The Falcons would be pretty likely to take that, I think.

They apparently never filed the restructure from last week so he's still on his old contract. Idk if that changes anything in his dead money but maybe there's something they can do with a different style restructure.

They have no catchers of the football other than Pitts. I assume guys like Fuller and his 4 games played per year are incoming if they can close the deal.

Yeah according to OverTheCap they eat an almost 28m dead cap hit but free up almost 9m by doing it, if its post June 1 trade or cut.

His salary is only 16m this year. He’s got a 7.5m roster bonus due on the 18th but the Falcons likely have to eat there because he probably won’t be traded before then. The Falcons will end up paying most of his cap hit this year.
