LOL, we'll have to try not to hold that against him. Actually we didn't do that bad with Miller at QB but when we lost him it was pretty much like this year. It was an f'n disaster.
I'm getting to that age where a lifetime warranty just doesn't mean as much to me anymore as an afternoon nap.

I just put this here as a point of interest and to link to Dirk Koetter as a Passing Coordinator/QB Coach. If Bratkowski left Atlanta for Jacksonville and Koetter wants the OC job in Atlanta then he may be out of the race. With Bates out of the Race and Loggains untouchable it looks like Olson may be the front runner.

Well, that puts Olson firmly at the top of the list, I would say.
