Have y’all ever seen or read The Dead Zone by Stephen King? I’ve been thinking about it a lot this week, because that title also describes this part of the NFL offseason.
There’s not much concrete news to cover, which means we’re spending a lot of our time prognosticating. And that’s what I’m asking you to do today. What do you see as the three biggest questions facing this Falcons team heading into the 2023 season?
For me, the most obvious question is: What is Desmond Ridder capable of as the starting quarterback? We got to see him in four starts last year behind some sloppy offensive line play and missing Kyle Pitts, who was on injured reserve, so I don’t think analyzing those starts are a fair way to project his play this season.
