Falcons now must decide what the future looks like at quarterback

The Atlanta Falcons have accounted for the present. For the first time since shipping Matt Ryan out of town—and arguably before then, depending on how much you think Ryan had declined before he left—the Falcons have a solidly above-average player at quarterback. The next two-to-three years are set, barring catastrophe, and Kirk Cousins will be under center and hoping to lead a resurgent Falcons offense to greater glory.

The future, however, is very much in flux. When the Falcons shipped out Desmond Ridder for Rondale Moore this past week, they traded away the only semi-plausible post-Cousins option on the roster, and I know semi-plausible is probably pushing it there.
