There is more to the demise of the Atlanta Falcons than just the quarterback

It is about time that we talk about something other than the Atlanta Falcons quarterback situation, because, to be fair, this is a team game that takes a collective effort from dozens of people for success.

QB has a lot to do with success or failure but that doesn’t mean all of the blame should land on that one position, so let’s evaluate what other positions are hurting the Falcons.

Unfortunately, in all of this, there are no clear and immediate fixes to any of these positions that we will go over. There just aren’t other options on the roster, and there aren’t options out on the free-agent market, so this will come down to fixing them in the future. Whether that comes in the draft or free agency, the Falcons have plenty of resources to fix it. They have the money and they have the draft picks. It just comes down to making the right decision. Without these positions being repaired over the offseason, things may not change.
