I wish I could take every division championship banner we have, eat only at mexican food buffets for a week, go on antibiotics, use the banners as toilet paper, and then burn them. Winning a weak division is a weak goal. We are competing in a beauty contest open only to garbage collectors and bragging about how 2 years ago we got 2nd place.

I don't care if there are only 5-10 QBs in the league that are way better than Carr. There are many QBs in the league who are young enough to become way better. Carr had peaked and is starting to break down. The play he double-injured himself on against the Giants was the lowest IQ play in the league last year. Rattler may be high risk but he has a higher ceiling. A 2026 draft pick like Manning or Nussmeir would have a higher ceiling. A young QB who never quite reaches Carr's peak, but gets close while making only $2 million a year, would give our team a higher ceiling.

I don't want to win the NFC South and get embaressed in the playoffs. Been there done that. I would refuse any division championship banner representing single digit wins, because it would be celebrating mediocrity. We need a culture of excellence. Derek Carr is not excellent. He isn't a leader. He is Matt Ryan 2.0. Derek Carr is karma's curse on our fanbase for reveling in the suffering of all Falcons fans during the Matt Ryan era.

Finally Atlanta tired of Matt Ryan. They did not have a better option in place but they moved on anyway. Turns out that Ryan did not exactly win rings when he left. Now they have options at least, though I think Penix will get hurt. Why do we have to relive the Matt Ryan era with Derek Carr. The only smart thing the Falcons ever did was get rid of Matt Ryan, and we need to move on from his clone.
