We come to the end of our little series on where players and now coaches rank on the all-time leaderboards across NFL history.
I think what we’ve seen is that especially on offense, the Falcons have had some true greats and some forgotten, excellent players who made their marks on the history books in ways I didn’t fully appreciate. Tragically, the franchise hasn’t matched their success, but it’s still fun to take a look back and see where players rank.
Coaches? That’s a less fun exercise. The Falcons have been full-on inept for better than half their history and have really only enjoyed a couple of stretches of sustained success, so their coaches either have had more success elsewhere or haven’t turned in careers like the Don Shulas of yesteryear, or even Andy Reids of today.
