Being a young quarterback with this Falcons team has mostly been an exercise in boredom before the axe lands. The likes of John Parker Wilson, Trevor Knight, Garrett Grayson, and the immortal Sean Renfree have either spent time on the practice squad or the roster but have had vanishingly few chances to get in games thanks to Matt Ryan’s durability, and they’ve mostly been supplanted by veterans as time has gone on.
Kurt Benkert may prove to be more JPW and Renfree than the other guys, and I’m still holding out hope that he could prove to be the team’s long-term backup with a little more seasoning.
