What has Phillip started…

  1. If we cut Kirk and Penix is gonna be out most of the season…. I’m so down to bring back my favorite QB

  2. I love Matt but he was cooked a few years ago. I doubt the time off has enhanced his abilities.

  3. I’m pretty sure after this quote he said he tried throwing the ball around and knew he couldn’t keep up anymore lol

  4. His arm is shot. My favorite QB ever but there is a reason he isn’t playing and its not because hes a family man now.

  5. Love you Matt. You’re my QB #1, got your jersey framed at the crib, I’ll always appreciate the years you’ve given me as a Falcons lifer, but what’s done is done.

    You’re a great sports analyst, the city will always love you, you were mistreated towards the end there – but you’re good man.

    Maybe a 1 year, 3rd string for next year, play a preseason game for the funsies.

    But I would much rather see you take on a coaching role or maybe a coordinator role instead.

  6. The follow up to that quote was Matt telling a story about going on vacation with Stafford who wanted him to work on some passes with him. So Stafford would throw some passes to Ryan. Ryan would throw it back. That gave him the itch to throw it himself so he started firing off some legit passes with Stafford catching. He then said the next day his shoulder and oblique were both completely fucked and he couldn’t go full force anymore. He told the same story on a podcast with a little more detail, but that was the jist of it.

  7. I think Matt could do it. He takes better care of himself than Rivers. I’d be pissed if he did it anywhere other than Atlanta, but I really don’t want him to do it at all.

  8. I mean.. we can’t really afford anyone anyway so if Penix will be out going into the season sure why not let Matty go out there and give it a try while giving Penix some mentorship.
