The Falcons made the move I more than half-expected but didn’t particularly want when they hired Greg Knapp to be their quarterbacks coach Saturday. As I mentioned last week, I was not a fan of Knapp during his days as Atlanta’s offensive coordinator over a decade ago, when I was just a fledgling Falcoholic and Michael Vick was still the quarterback for the Falcons. Much has changed since then, though, and Knapp is not stepping in as the coordinator.
Knapp has extensive experience working with quarterbacks, including Peyton Manning, Carson Palmer, and Vick, and his work as a QB whisperer has never been criticized with the same venom as his work as an offensive coordinator.
