The Atlanta Falcons agreed to a 3-year deal with Free Agent RB and former St. Louis Ram, Steven Jackson.
Because they replaced Michael Turner with Steven Jackson? Aside from his receiving ability, this really isn't even an upgrade.We have no excuse to lose in the playoffs now
All we need is an existent pass rush
The fact that SJax was able to rush for over 1000 yards with the Rams less than average Oline and being the only legitimate threat on the Rams (meaning teams constantly put 8 men in the box) speaks volumes compared to Turner. Sjax is faster, more explosive at the line of scrimmage, and will benefit receivingBecause they replaced Michael Turner with Steven Jackson?

While I do agree that every defense will be 100% focused on stopping the read-option next season, I still think SF is the best in the league. Kapernick isn't necessarily 1 dimensional -- he has a long way to develop but he can be a solid QB whether he's running or throwing.The fact that SJax was able to rush for over 1000 yards with the Rams less than average Oline and being the only legitimate threat on the Rams (meaning teams constantly put 8 men in the box) speaks volumes compared to Turner.

And lol, San Francisco is not the best team in the NFL. Maybe on paper, but teams will have an answer for the read-option next year, and Kaepernick will be less of a factor. Personally, I'd take Wilson over Kaepernick, especially with Harvin. I can see how either team will be the favorite to win it all heading into the season, but we'll see(Its funny because the favorite to win it all into free agency almost never does, see 2011 Eagles)
I wasn't necessarily comparing them to the Eagles, just saying how the favorite to win the Super Bowl coming out of free agent almost never doesWhile I do agree that every defense will be 100% focused on stopping the read-option next season, I still think SF is the best in the league.

Comparing them to 2011 Eagles is ridiculous. That team accomplished nothing prior to 2011, and they accomplished nothing with all the talent they added (which still didn't make up for their other areas of need). The 49ers at least have been gradually improving each year, still have easily a top 3 D in the NFC, and if they get Nnamdi that just builds up their depth in the secondary even more.
Basically what Bosox said, haha.
