Yeah I think you have to bring in at least one vet. MHJ is gonna be great but we need to add another proven body. Brown, Samuels, Williams(injured last year but solid production) would all make sense.

Is that Mike Williams? If so, that dude is injured every single year.

I feel like this is the trade to honor anyone who ever posted "why didn't they get something for him." Getting anything for Rondale Moore is cooking.

Well...this is the same group that couldn't get something for DHop so maybe they learned their lesson.

Outside of last year and his rookie year he’s played in a majority of games. Although that doesn’t mean he played a lot in those games. Anyway, could be a cheap bounce back guy on a one year deal.

You must have seen something in Tune that I missed, because he showed absolutely nothing to me. I want him gone.
That's how I always felt. I never saw the moxie others saw.

Had a feeling Moore was gone with the acquisition of DeeJay. Even mentioned it in another thread and got some thumbs down.

The WR just got taller by default and that makes me happy and we got a seasoned back up.

Clayton Tune is five months older than Desmond Ridder.
So does this mean that Atlanta is not serious about their season? Since they traded away what seems to be a perfectly suited BU QB who is cost efficient for next two years?

Since he doesn't have any NFL highlights that makes sense.

That’s def not accurate… he’s actually got some good plays on tape. I’m not sad he is gone but I wish him well in ATL.
That run from the RB position against Dallas certainly qualifies.

I think it is a clear signal they are drafting a new QB early.

And the long 40-45 yard TD he had in a game where the defender was pulling his undershirt from behind he fought through it and wouldn't go down.
Right? You can certainly say that he didn't live up to expectation, but to say he had no highlights is patently false.
