And we were just kind of trying to bridge this thing over anyways.
I think that it's not like Kevin Stefanski has to walk in the door and immediately make good on what this situation is.
Because we understand that this is a roster that was not built with balance in mind under the former regime.
And I think that just trying to get something dependable in the building would definitely go a long way.
And I think that Tua, when he's healthy, can give you something dependable.
The ceiling is not as high as what we would like.
But you know he's going to make certain throws no matter what.
You know he's going to have certain issues no matter what.
And I think that if you're Kevin Stefanski, you probably feel like, this is the best quarterback I've worked with since Baker Mayfield.
So, hey, man, I'll give this a shot and just see what we can get out of it.
And I think if you're Atlanta, you probably feel pretty similar as well, right?
This is something that he can be the style of quarterback that you hoped you were going to get out of Desmond Ritter when you drafted him, that you hoped you were going to get out of Kirk Cousins when you signed him to all that money, and definitely what you thought you might get out of Michael Fenix when you drafted him in the top 10.
So...
For that reason alone, I'm willing to give it a shot, especially since there's not much financial commitment here.
If it doesn't work, shoo, shoo, too.
You're right back out on the market.
So I think that there are a lot of ways in which this can work out, even if it does not necessarily mean that Atlanta now catapults to the top of the NFC South.
$45 million per year tied up in those two players feels a little precarious to me, right?
It doesn't mean that I dislike it, though.
I think that this is really them trying to continue to build on positive momentum.
