Dom can also imitate Cam Newton, etc a lot better than the other 2 when they have to prepare for teams with that type of a mobile qback. He is my choice. He showed a pretty good upside.

He has the one thing the others have not shown……………..desire to succeed.

Maybe Blank is tired of failing in the playoffs and want to shake things up with Davis. Give Ryan qb competition just like the other teams.

Give Dom a chance to see what he can do with the 2nd team. Start him in the 4th preseason game.

JPW will be gone and Redman will be holding a clipboard when he isn’t tying Davis’s shoelaces ………..I watched part’s of that game again and Davis was throwing some bullets out there to those receivers when he had his few moments to shine…………..he deserves to have a shot at playing earlier in these games and getting more time to play.

At this point both Redman and JPW will have to step it up. Even on a bad showing Davis has more upside for a greater future than his competition.

Like I said, you’re on an Island and the ball ain’t talking back to you… Don’t worry, those pharmaceutical companies are doing miracles for “special folks” like you…

And maybe NASA will come up with a GPS chip for your brain and fixation you have with Canton… Did somebody abandon you there and you’ve been repressing the memory?

Don’t worry Michael, he’s “my” personal stalker! No sense of location (so I don’t worry too much), but he’s like those guys (Hinckley and that ilk) who might just do something unseemly to the unsuspecting… Sad…

Poor Barry, he’s been posting that same blog post with a couple of word changes for 5 straight seasons (even w Joey Harrington)… That man is a true dreamer!

Chris Redman had not thrown a TD pass since the 3rd exhibition game in 2010! JPW only 1 TD pass in his career…..2nd exhibition game in 2010. Bottom line…..Our #2 and #3 backup qbs…..2 TD passes total since the start of the 2010 exhibition season!

Redman stole my lunch not long ago. I had it marked The Burner in the frig and Redman ate it anyway.
Wilson wakes me up too early playing a trombone in the next room.

Davis should start for us. Matty Ice has a noodle arm

Time for breakfast. Got to put on the feedbag. Weighed in at 258 today. Its a good weight for me. I feel good in my belly.

Davis should be the 1st and only qb off the bench the rest of the preseason. JPW and Redman have had plenty of chances and have done nothing and should be cut.

Dominique Davis, based on performance, should have elevated himself above John Bob Parker and Christine Redman. Parker and Redman have looked absolutely atrocious and inept since they have been in Atlanta.

“Whoever the best backup guy is, whether if he’s a 10-year vet or a rookie, is going to be our backup quarterback,” Falcons coach Mike Smith said after practice on Saturday. “I think you have to go out there and let the play on the field [decide]. … It’s a matter of who plays the best.”

I wonder why Smith does not do this at LoT Baker is not the best and never has been. Baker is still getting run over in the pass rush #74 is better.Could it be because Baker is a 1st round pick and the coaches dont want to admit to another BUST? YeP

DD has performed better than CR and JPW at backup QB. I like an experienced QB as # 2 but DD has clearly been the better QB with a much upside. Is better athlete, more accurate passer, has made good decisions when passing. Looks like he is constantly improving

The radio station thats changing format is Z93 beginning next month….I hope they don’t come on the air TRYING to tell funky jokes that aren’t funny…or what they did at the shake-a-booty club…giving out the phone number and not taking any calls…and most of all building up out of town stations…you can believe those stations aren’t talking about the A.T.L…..

If going by preseason he is definetly our #2. If were going by the 2 games only he looked like he has potential of actually being a starter in the NFL

I would like to see Dom with the first unit and the same play’s. And a defense of the other teams first unit, then we will have a better measuring stick. So D led its time to put smitty hand a little closer to the fire with some tuff questions. About our safety net going into the regular season. I sense a lot of people on here feel the same concerning giving this guy a chance. How copy!

We going to have to start some serious noise if Davis doesn’t get a chance over wilson and redman our last two preason games!!! @DLED I agree with others you need toask some tough questions about the opportunity this young man has earned to prove himself.

The Atlanta Sports media **WILL NEVER ASKED** the tough questions of Mike Smith. It is as if they are all afraid that they will get banned from the locker room for interviews if they do anything but ask the fluff questions.

Davis is looking promising! Esp over Redman and JPW, who both appear pretty much to suck. I really hope the CS is serious about giving him a good hard look, and not just placating the fans with a lot of bs they have no intention of backing up.
I see a lot of folks pointing out the fact that hes playing against scrubs, so he hasn’t proven himself to be talented; but hes also playing WITH scrubs, and still looks to have great awareness, and better still, a sense of determination.
Id absolutely love to see him get a few snaps with a better group of teammates and see how he looks. Its just preseason, and whats preseason for if not for evaluating talent and helping guys to polish technique? I saw at least 3 or 4 plays where he hit a teammate square in the hands or chest, and the receiver still dropped it. Id be really excited to see him with a group of guys who can actually catch. That doesn’t even include the drives he kept alive by moving around and staying composed under pressure.
I’m with many others who fear we will lose this guy quickly if we don’t secure a spot for him, and that would certainly provide some proof to the theory that we have a team loaded with talent but that is, to our detriment, poorly managed by the cs/fo.
