There is a real possibility that they could lose out. Road games vs Arizona and New Orleans will decide that. Shough is playing well under the circumstances and could easily beat Atlanta. BTW, Shough may end up being the best QB drafted last year.YES, THE AINTS WON! KEEP GETTING OUR ATLANTA PICK HIGHER UP!
I agree with most of this post, and Shough is playing well, but as far as the best quarterback drafted? Cam Ward (I do still like him as a quarterback, and wouldn't mind him being Stafford's successor) and Jaxson Dart (if he learns to protect himself) might have something to say about that. Shough is playing well, but he's a very old rookie (twenty-six already) who has a notable injury history.There is a real possibility that they could lose out.

I did say "may end up being the best". He does have a very good offensive minded coach and his age/maturity could help as well.I agree with most of this post, and Shough is playing well, but as far as the best quarterback drafted?

True. Age and maturity works both ways, though; Shough may not have as long of a career, and he also has a lengthy injury history (the reason why he was a twenty-six-year-old rookie) in college, which scared the shit out of me when I was considering the Rams drafting him.I did say "may end up being the best".

I like Dart, but his recklessness scares me. If he doesn't learn to slide or run out of bounds, he is going to be a very beat up and old looking 28 yr old QB in a few years... if he lasts that long.
Yeah, have to give the kid credit. The little I watched, he didn't run backwards in the pocket when I was watching. If he can break that habbit, that alone will go a long way to help him succeed.S Sanders almost pulled it off, beast mode.
Kid has played better than anyone expected
