Sounds like Matt Flynn heading to Oakland via trade, and Carson Palmer Out

Alex Smith = Matt Ryan/Dane ZmcCloud, folks.

Alex Smith, throughout his career, has proven the same thing. Without excellent coaching, an amazing offensive line, RB, TE and decent WR's, he's average at best.

Anyone that looks at the Falcons offense and see any deficiencies or holes, please list them now.

Thanks.

Dane also thinks the Dolphins wouldn't have been any better if they had taken Ryan instead of Long.
