McCown signed by Falcons

Per Adam Schefter tweet. Looking for the link now, but those punks will do anything to get an edge on us...

Didn't they do the same thing last year, sign someone the Saints released?

... yeah, you can't tell me they're signing him because they were looking for someone to make an impact on the practice squad, eh? Falcons probably got ol' Mr. Spock standing by to do a 'Vulcan-mind-probe' on him the minute he reports ...

That's a good point. He would know the offensive scheme pretty well over there. However, he didn't even play well in that system. This is definitely more about the Falcons trying to get every edge possible on the Saints. I would be shocked if he even makes the final roster. The guy is that bad.

Hey, we needed better backups. Double D is the only one that's good.

So they chose McCown over Redman? That's like replacing a pile of crap with an even bigger pile of crap.

Probably is the reason.

I've never payed much attention to him. Guess I'm about to find out if he is really as bad as you guys say he is.

So we signed Lofton. So if anyone has a edge it's us.

Falcons' fans should just pray that Matt Ryan never gets hurt for an extended period of time. If he does and McCown is the back-up, you will be in for a very long season.

He isn't the back up. Dominique Davis is. He's very underrated. He holds the NCAA record for most consecutive passes completed(26).

I do have to say that Davis looked pretty impressive in the preseason game I watched against Cincy. I think he could have led a game-winning drive but the receivers made some boneheaded plays.
