  9. I really hope he’s learning the game. Seeing Kirk control the offense and seeing success in the NFL first hand. This young man could be the future of the Atlanta Falcons.

  10. Dude feels super suppressed as a man speaking on his own story. Kind of worried about a Ryan Leaf revelation at some point. I hope I’m wrong but he seems to measure all words and tone to a degree I’ve never seen in an obvious softball interview

  17. I love Kirk. I truly do, but we are in the best situation right now. Kirk has such control of the offense, but when Pittman throws it, it’s like twice the speed that Kirk moves at so we are in for a very, very good future.
