CONGRATS Frank!!! 

[dgambill]

Can't cut him now can we? Honestly I wanted to bring him back and mentor a young back but this just seals it right?

I think that because he played most of his career out west, we don't realize how highly he is regarded

Classy to mention the Colts as he did.

From the comments of his teammates and coaches, Frank is very deserving. Congratulations and continued success.

Idk how much you've seen him in vids and reports, but 'Class" is the eppitomy on Frank.  He deserves the award as much as anyone who has even won before him.  Gratz to a good man.

We need to get Frank back to the playoffs. The man deserves it.

He does, but I don't think this team will be in a position to contend for a Super Bowl for a couple of years, especially with Pagano as head coach.  That would make Gore 36ish by the time we're ready to compete.  If you ask me, the smarter option would be to cut him so he can pursue a championship with a contender (Green Bay?) while we focus on making our roster younger and bringing new talent in

That's probably true. I just don't want to see him go. Selfish it is, but the Falcons were 8-8 last season?

That's true.  I guess you never know.  I just don't think we can compete with New England and Pittsburgh quite yet, and Pagano's coaching hasn't helped us get over those teams.

Sorry something weird happened. But anyways, yeah I think we haven't been able to see what he truly wants this defense to look like. It seems like he has been trying to fit a square into a circle, and yes that is his fault, however, grigson didn't help him any.

That is awesome. Well deserved.

I don't think an award matters enough to bring him back or not. I always thought he would be back regardless.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Great for Frank total class act!  Now lets get him a ring!!

Yet another positive thread has an anti Pagano comment or two. We all really do understand what most people think, do we need to keep ramming it down our collective throats? And I know, I'm guilty to doing the same.

Lol!

Off topic, but great movie (book is better, "Crow Killer.... The Saga of Liver- Eating Johnson")

Good for Frank, guy can't be out worked.  Hope to see him back.
