The best I can tell, the quarterback position in Atlanta has been hotly contested by fans since the franchise was formed back in 1966. If there was a starter, someone wanted the other guy, and it seems like just yesterday some were clamoring for Mike Vick to start over Chris Chandler. Then Matt Schaub over Mike Vick. Then waiting for Byron Leftwich to get healthy enough to start over Joey Harrington. Or just calling Matt Ryan a noodle-armed stat-padder and eyeing whoever happened to be on the roster.
It is perhaps the most consistent thing about this franchise, or at least its fans.
