That’s my MF quarterback
So Zac was trying to sabotage my guy… pistol 80%+ of the time was a travesty.
Him saying we got to figure it out gave me PTSD
Why is my QB interviewing with unknown people
So he’s saying he can play under center and Zac just didn’t call under center plays
Zac robinson didnt develop my qb and hindered his growth. Finally with a competent coaching staff, we can manage a clock and develop our qb
RAHEEM🤦🏽♂️ , boy left his stain on my QB 😂 , he using the word “find” & “way” to much in the same sentence
Can't wait for next season!!
basically RM lied about him bot being comfortable under center
Iain MacMillan ask the question most don't ask. Will there be a problem playing under center.🤔
What a great interviewer. Are you on twitter or any other platform? any weekly Falcons podcasts/videos?
Whatever you do, don’t rush back. Wait until you are ready.
He got a lot of proving to do. He wasn’t even good last year. Intentional grounding the ball 5 times in three games. 7 times under center. Come on.
He’s the last gm and coaches trash. Get new. Three acl surgeries are we serious on thinking this kid is the future. Atlanta is Atlanta. Send him back to Florida where he belongs.
Sooner we get off this qb the better
Why does he look seem more excited about this new staff compared to when Raheem morris was their
That throw to Pitts in Washington to take us to overtime made me a believer… rest up #9
Great young man but the durag in public and wearing it everywhere bothers me. Players can’t full respect him like that. Qb’s that win championships carry themselves as men. I just can’t see him leading us to a championship, although he’s a very nice young man.
Get him some legit receivers
Dance for me nothing more than a backup quarterback he couldn't be on a other NFL teams roster they wouldn't even look at him because of all the injuries he will never make it through a full year of NFL football Falcons are throwing their time and money away they will keep on being losers because they are putting everything in behind Panic switch cannot he cannot stay on the field
