Matt Schaub is the right backup QB for the Falcons right now

In recent weeks, fans have had a flurry of reactions to the performances out of Matt Schaub and the recently injured Kurt Benkert. Many fans bemoaned Schaub’s horrid performance in the Hall of Fame game and wondered aloud if Benkert would seriously challenge to be the backup QB for 2019. While his recent placement on injured reserve has settled that question, it probably wasn’t really a legitimate question to begin with.

Schaub’s improved performance in the game against the Dolphins has calmed some fears, though many fans still wonder if it’s worth looking for a “better” option.
