The Striking History Of Falcon QBs

Just a quick update before midnight tonight. If you've ever wanted to re-live the glory days of Falcon QBs (hint: there were very few), the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has you covered in a big way.

Anybody else remember the days when Tony Graziani started for the team? How about those days when current Falcon broadcaster Dave Archer lined up behind center? Bless all of these guys, but with the exception of Steve Bartkowski and Chris Miller, there wasn't a metric ton of talent on this roster at any point. It's still fun to look back at the franchise's heyday, especially because I wish the old red uniforms had never left.

Do any of think Matt Ryan can become the next (or first, depending on your perspective) great Falcon QB?

Ryan's got the tools

But he needs a good OL blocking for him or he won’t develop. Look what happened to Joey Harrington.

Fun trip down memory lane with the AJC gallery of QBs. Along similar lines, the Falcons team website recently added a collection of trading cards from 1966-1978 (use the slideshow feature):

Nostalgic fun for us geezer Falcoholics.

I think so

!00% yes. I also think the O-line is not that bad. I think this season is going to be productive.
