They would have a similar dynamic with Pitts and Hurst, but they would have it even better because unlike Miami, they have two good outside WRs in Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley.

Indeed.

I think Atlanta taking Pitts means they can challenge Tampa... even if their defense is still crap.

Unless Matt Ryan is totally done... which I don't think he is.

I don't think he is, either.

First, I don't think he's taken much abuse over the years.  I can't recall a single major injury he's had.

Secondly, I think if Arther Smith sticks to the philosophy he had in Tennessee, he will support Ryan with a good OL and strong running game.

That combination plus the ability to have all kinds of matchup advantages will probably prolong his career even further.
