42+ min ago (311+ words) Jalen Johnson's All-NBA campaign and the emergence of players such as Onyeka Okongwu, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and Vit Krejci have given the Atlanta Hawks a good problem. If you remove Trae Young and Kristaps Porzingis from the picture, there is an exciting young core and a potential major addition from the New Orleans 2026 first round draft pick. Consequently, many fans are wondering if the best path forward for the franchise is to go all-in on the Jalen Johnson era by trading Young and Porzingis. The Oklahoma City Thunder traded Russell Westbrook and Paul George before their respective declines, and five years later, they were the best team in basketball. Why can't the Hawks do the same?" The problem with this path forward is that it just isn't realistic. Atlanta has proven that the Johnson-led team is around a Play-In level, meaning…...

1+ hour, 42+ min ago (460+ words) For as worrisome as Michael Penix Jr.'s injury history might be, the Atlanta Falcons must be glad they don't have J.J. McCarthy right now. The second-year signal-caller has thrown 10 interceptions in just six starts as the 22-year-old QB has the Minnesota Vikings sitting at just 4-7 entering Week 13. Amid his struggles, the national champion has quickly been labeled a draft bust, but there's still time for him to turn things around. But with McCarthy in the concussion protocol and usual backup Carson Wentz out for the season, the Vikings signed an insurance option that Falcons' fans know all too well. It was reported yesterday that Minnesota signed Desmond Ridder to its practice squad, and he was an absolute nightmare during his short stint with the Dirty Birds. So not only can fans feel vindicated with Penix massively out-performing McCarthy, Minnesota's desperation…...

1+ hour, 42+ min ago (390+ words) Big decisions are ahead for Raheem Morris and Kirk Cousins, among other Falcons. The odds of making the playoffs are slim, but the Atlanta Falcons could still end the season with 7 or 8 wins. Not the goal anyone had at the beginning of the season, but will in-season circumstances sway ownership when Week 18 comes to a close? Since Michael Penix Jr. went down and Kirk Cousins went under center, we've heard a lot of different quotes to explain why that hasn't happened. Cousins is more comfortable; Zac Robinson has reiterated that they can still have success doing the same things out of the pistol. If you've been paying close attention to the Falcons since 2024, this likely rubbed you the wrong way. If the offense works itself back to looking functional, it wouldn't be the first time Atlanta's brass plays it safe…...
