The Falcons are built for this year at best. Grady Jackson, Calais Campbell are gone next season and those are their best defensive players. At best they are the 2018 Bears.I'd disagree. The Falcons are a very good example of a team that is a decent QB away from being a contender. They have a lot of talent on the offensive side of the ball and their D has been solid this year. They rank 6th in yards allowed per game and 14th in points allowed per game. In 2022, their O-line was also pretty good, but they've taken a step back this year. Though, I think a lot of their problems stem from Desmond Ridder. Holds the ball too long, no awareness in the pocket, etc.
If they didn't have a QB that turned the ball over so much, they could very well be 6-2 or maybe even 7-1 this year.
Maybe the Falcons aren't super close to winning a ring, they're definitely closer than we are. We need more than just a decent QB to compete for one... we need.... a lot.
