Is now the Atlanta Falcons' backup QB. With the way we let Matt Ryan get hit, there's a real chance he will have significant playing time this year. This is final proof that God really does hate Atlanta/Georgia Sports.

Hey, at least the Falcons and Braves have each won a major title in the last 39 years.

Franks isn't as bad as people say. He might not ever be a true starter but he can stick around in the NFL.

My guess is they sign a backup. No slander of Franks.

When did the Falcons win a major title? Did I miss it?

Great to see Briles and Pittman get him to the league. Might not have happened if he stayed in Gainesville.

Yes, he is. He has the exact same problems every place he goes. Zero pocket awareness or presence. We've been watching him take idiotic sacks his entire career, and he just can't seem to get over that.

He is just not Quarterback material, and never will be. He doesn't have the mind for it.

Well, I'll be goddamn. I always thought they won the 98 Superbowl. My bad.

I agree with your post for the most part but honestly he might carve out a career as a backup or 3rd stringer.

Backup QB play in the NFL is terrible right now

I guess winning the NFC twice counts? But I say no.

Just make sure his 1st read is wide open every time and he'll be serviceable.

He’s got an NFL arm. Just needs the light to come on upstairs. Showed way more maturity last year than I was expecting.

He was really good for us but this was my biggest complaint as well. Not sure why he refused to ever throw the ball away. He could have all 11 defenders coming at him and try to keep the play alive and juke them all lol.

He does have a nice deep ball and good athleticism for his size but just looks awkward out there a lot. From what I’ve seen the Falcons OL hasn’t been much help.
