Every week, we ask you who you’d add to the Falcons roster from the upcoming opponent. Some weeks it’s absurdly difficult to pick one, and other weeks there’s really only a handful of options who would actually make the team better. This week is the latter.
That’s because this week’s opponent is the New York Giants, a team that has gotten to this low point not by injuries or mistakes in execution, but foundational mistakes in team-building. As Falcons fans we’re no strangers to that failure, but it’s still sort of astonishing to see the Giants ignore what’s right in front of their faces: Their roster has a ton of holes, and one of the biggest ones is quarterback, where Eli Manning has gone from good-but-overrated to just plain bad.
