Seems there are a lot of decisions lately that’s been coming from higher up. The QB change the talks of shifting play calling duties during the bye week. Then there was a report today by bleacher saying expect a significant increase in bijan Carries at the goal line. Arthur blank is normally patient but this time it’s different……one thing no owner likes is being a laughing stock around the league.
Arthur blank publicly went on a radio station which blank never does and says while lamar is a great player we have our QB. He called Desmond ridder……the future. “The future” then leads the league in turnovers.
You do something unconventional you draft a running back 8th overall and then refuse to use that running back in the red zone. You have Kurt Warner ripping the falcons offense to shreds for 5 minutes straight. Exposing about how horrible the scheme is You’re 27th in scoring and you don’t know how to use the players your front office gifted you. You ran a tight end reverse to the backup tight end
If I’m the front office do I trust you to find our franchise QB? You’ve had 4 QBs and have never had a top 10 passing offense with any of them. The salary cap excuse is gone and with a borderline top 10 defense the talent issue has been fixed as well. The falcons are gonna fire Arthur smith if we miss the playoffs. Because with all that talent we have with the weakest schedule in the league in the weakest division……. you still couldn’t make the playoffs??? That’s when they realize Arthur just isn’t good enough to be a head coach
I tthink all the stories that came out about Dobbs as a 4th string QB with only 1 rep of practice and not knowing any plays, yet still winning the game with running and passing…that left a sour taste. This was probably the easiest game to win. They were also missing a lot of other starters.
