The Atlanta Falcons have all the tools to be the best team in the NFC. The Giants are in the NFC and so are the Cowboys but the Falcons have the tools to beat them both.There are 4 main parts to this Falcons team that will take this team to the Super Bowl.
1) The Quarterback: Matt Ryan- The 2nd year man is the 5th best quarterback in the NFL. The only quarterbacks better than Ryan are Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Tony Romo and Carson Palmer. Ryan has only been in the league for a little bit and he's already shown the potential Peyton Manning. Ryan threw for 3440 yards last season and while he only had 16 touchdowns via passing, he only threw 11 interceptions and he led the Falcons to the playoffs and if the Cardinals hadn't had that magical playoff run the Falcons would have beaten the Eagles and make it to the Super Bowl. Then they would've faced the Steelers. But I feel that they would've ended up losing. Matt Ryan coming in as a rookie and leading a Falcons team decimated by the Michael Vick scandal to the playoffs. Next year, he's throwin' for 3700 yards and 23+ touchdowns and leading the Falcons to the Super Bowl.
2) The Workhors
e: Michael Turner- This man right here is the definition of a workhorse. All the Falcons did last year was give him the ball. Why do you think Matt Ryan only had 16 touchdown throws? Everytime they got to the endzone, the Falcons 85% of the time gave the ball to Turner and let him try to bulldoze his way in into the endzone. Mike Turner had 1,699 rushing yards and he was he integral part of the Falcons offensive attack. He had 17 touchdowns via rushing and he is set to contend with Adrian Peterson for the best RB title in the near future. He's going to get at least 1500 yards next year and he's going to lead the league in touchdowns.

est surprises other than Matt Ryan in the Falcons organization. Roddy White was deemed a spotty player before his two breakout seasons in the NFL. What that means is that his play would be spectacular one week and then horrible the next. He was a fast kid who couldn't produce the way people expected him to. But after Michael Vick got suspended this kid became magical. He was catching everything thrown his way. He finished the season with 1202 yards and 6 TD's. Last season, with Matt Ryan throwing to him Roddy set the Falcons' single season receiving yards record. He had over 1300 yards and made the Pro Bowl. I predict next season that he'll have 1,400 yards and 10 touchdowns.

I predict next season that he'll have 1,400 yards and 10 touchdowns.Now there's Michael Jenkins. He was a good receiver all throughout his career but the QBs that were throwing to him weren't good at putting the ball where he could get it. And for that his stats and career suffered. But after Matt Ryan arrived everything changed. He caught Ryan's first career touchdown on a 62 yard grab. He finished with 777 yards and I predict next season he will have 800 yards receiving.
4) The Defensive Line: John Abraham- Ever since Abraham was with the jets he was a very dangerous rapper with a ability to tear up the NFL with his pass rushing prowess. He has always dominated the competition when healthy and last season he demonstrated his prowess and with much effectiveness. he had 16.5 sacks and it's hard enough for people to get 10 sacks. But John Abraham showed us all that when he's healthy he's definitely top 5 in the NFL's best defensive line players. When he was with the Jets, when he played a full season he had at least 10 sacks. He's the future of the Falcons defense and the future of their defensive line. He will get at least 12 sacks next year and know that sounds like a lot but when Abraham plays, he delivers.
Next year is going to be a big year for the Falcons and if they can establish their position early in the season we'll be seeing them in the Super Bowl versus the Jets, Patriots or Steelers. These 4 main parts to their offensive and defensive attack will be the reason they make or miss the playoffs.
Nice work so far Kamal...I know you have one in the works, keep them coming.
