The Falcons’ Quarterback Conundrum: A Recipe for Disaster?
It’s becoming increasingly clear that the Falcons’ offseason quarterback acquisition may not have been the wisest decision. While many were skeptical of drafting a particular rookie signal-caller, it’s the veteran quarterback who’s raising eyebrows. His lack of mobility is staggering – it’s as if he’s throwing from a stationary position, devoid of any power or velocity.
This shouldn’t come as a surprise, given his advanced age and recent injury history. At 36, he was never known for his speed or agility, and now it seems his back foot is as useful as a spare tire on a bicycle. The result is a quarterback who’s consistently underthrowing his targets by several yards.
One has to wonder if the Falcons’ coaching staff realized this was a potential issue during the offseason, prompting them to draft a rookie quarterback as a backup plan. If that’s the case, it raises serious questions about the team’s medical evaluation process and their willingness to invest $180 million in a player based on questionable information.
While it’s true that this was the veteran quarterback’s first game back from injury, he looked far from 100%. With tough matchups against the Eagles and Chiefs on the horizon, it’s hard to see the Falcons emerging victorious. If they don’t turn things around against the Bucs and Panthers in the following weeks, it may be time to give the rookie quarterback a chance to shine. After all, the money has already been spent, and this experiment can’t continue indefinitely.
