Premium Member JeffS17 Posted January 3, 2023 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 I'm convinced the decision to tank was already made and that is why CC is out. Otherwise, someone tell me why he is out? What is his timeline? It's a black box. Either we're tanking or he's about to get traded... I didn't see some acute injury that would require him to be out this long and I haven't heard of anything like that. How bad is a calf strain that we can't even get updates on how he's doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was slated to be out 1-2 weeks, this is about 18 days now. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How bad is a calf strain that we can't even get updates on how he's doing I've been thinking about this as well. I'm starting to think a trade for Ayton may be in the works and that may be why he's being kept out. If he's out because he's still truly injured... well that makes me want to trade for Ayton more and more. I don't want to be stuck with 3 years of 20M in salary if his injuries get worse as he ages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if I told you over the last 3 years plus this season games played by Ayton and Capela: Ayton ($30+ mil per) 38, 69, 58, 34 = 199 total games Capela ($20 mil per) 39, 63, 74, 27 = 203 total games Just saying. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to have a WW2 era tank in front of our school buildings (Elementary and Junior High (before the days of "Middle Schools" - It was the high school prior to the split between high school and junior high) back in the 1960s & 1970s. Then the ATL airport bought the property, the schools were relocated and the tank went bye bye. In about the 5th grade or so, one of the prettiest girls climbed up on top of the tank and fell off. She landed on her head. It took a long time for her to come back to school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True... but one of those seasons Ayton was serving a suspension -- not an injury. He's not been known to have a chronic nagging injury like Clint's Achilles. He's much younger than Clint so he has much longer before he declines due to health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTB Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 We aren’t going to tank. We are going to do like the falcons just did and idiotically win out and probably make a play in game and either lose or win depending on if the team is healthy. I’m not even looking at the draft because we are a middle of the pack team . We are good enough to stay in 8th - 10th seed to give ourselves a chance. id much rather talk about trades we can make to improve our roster. We need a new coach and new philosophy on both ends of the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this rate with Capela and Hunter never being healthy we're going to tank naturally because we have no defense and Nate has no offense. Like I said yesterday, Maybe that's why they're keeping Nate? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not a lot of breathing room for us. 9th spot still has a decent chance at 6.7% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. My hope is that somehow... the QBs fall Stroud, Levis and then Young to Atlanta. But knowing the Falcons, Young would be there and we'd probably select whatever DE was there. But I won't be mad if it's Jalen Carter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim chance they were getting top 4..And there's only a couple of players worth tanking for(Carter, Anderson).. Colts arent winning another game.. And top 3 are pretty much settled....We're Still getting a top 10... Murphy, Wilson, Breese, etc. Just draft all defense with a WR and a guard sprinkled in.....Offense should be fine. Just add add a legit #2 for Drake.. Edited January 4, 2023 by terrell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
