The Falcons’ new QB has had some pretty darn good performances as an NFL QB

If you somehow have not heard yet, there is a new signal caller for the Atlanta Falcons. It will be the first time since 2008 that the team has been in this position, it really is new territory for a lot of people.

Anyways, that new signal caller is Marcus Mariota, or perhaps rookie Desmond Ridder. As of right now, all signs seem to point to Mariota being the leader to start the regular season against the dreadful Saints.

While we wait to see what quality of play Mariota can bring the Falcons starting in September, let’s look back on some of his most impressive games as a pro.

It was really shocking to see some of the numbers he put up at points during his career that started in 2015. He really did not get much attention for some eye-popping stats he had with the Tennessee Titans.

He certainly showed at times that he could legitimately be one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL — that is no joke and you will see why with some of the stat lines he put up in a few games — but what ultimately cost him was his inconsistency.
