Yet that's what he is doing. If he finds someone else with the experience Parcells has, he'll give him the keys to the franchise, too.
It may be a little hard to understand what kind of position Blank is in. He's losing tons of money right now. He has put his own money into rennovating the Dome, and it's empty. He was counting on Vick to keep the seats filled (because we have stupid people in Atlanta that cheer for you based on what color your skin is), and his ticket machine is in jail. He needs to make a big splash in some regard, and Parcells was going to be it.
Now what's going to happen? The concensus is to take a Matt Ryan with your 1st pick, but we haven't seen what DJ Shockley can do. He was impressive in the preseason. Harrington hasn't been that bad, either.
I say if for some reason McFadden is available when the Falcons pick, they take him. In this regard I hope the Falcons lose their last two, and the Jets and Rams win another game. That would give the Falcons the #2 pick, and it's assumed the Dolphins will take Glenn Dorsey.
My plan for the Falcons: Dump Leftwich. Resign Harrington to another year. Make DJ the #2 QB, draft McFadden. Trade Dunn if you can, maybe as a package to get another QB or some secondary help. Draft a quality WR in the 2nd, maybe a kid from Hawaii. Later rounds should be focused on future starters on the OL.
