Quarterback (2):

  • 1a: Matt Ryan
  • 1b: Michael Vick

Clearly, these are the two players anyone would pick as the two best quarterbacks in Atlanta Falcons’ history. They are also two vastly different players. It is so hard to pick one as the starter so we will just go with a two-QB system.

Do you want one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history or do you want the most electric quarterback in NFL history? Take your pick, either way, you can’t make a wrong decision.

What would be fun is lining up Matt Ryan behind center while lining up Michael Vick all over the field. You could pull off some crazy trick plays. Having to defend the arm of Ryan and the arm, legs, and playmaking ability of Vick would be a nightmare.

Matt is the more consistent passer while Michael is the more exciting player. Either way, we have two of the best players ever at the position.
