Bottom of the Pile and could Lose Their Jobs 

This is the bottom three quarterbacks the Falcons will face all season. Three starters who could lose their jobs this year and all teams the Falcons should beat.

Joe Flacco Week 13-  Joe Flacco is still living vicariously through that one Super Bowl run. In fairness to Flacco what a run it was! He played better than I have ever seen him play in the regular seasons.

Since then he has done very little aside from regularly being in the top of the League in interceptions. Flacco is at the end of his career and could have lost his job to a certain rookie quarterback before the Falcons face him. Regardless, the Falcons should dispatch the Ravens and help turn the page on Flacco.

Jose Rosen Week 15- If Sam Bradford is still healthy and the starter for the Cardinals in week 15 something has gone terribly wrong in the NFL universe. That isn’t to wish any injury on Sam Bradford just to point out his injuries and the first-round draft picks starting at quarterback are two of the most predictable things in the NFL.

Forget Rosen’s issues or attitude off the field and look strictly at what he accomplished coming into the League. He may turn into a good quarterback but it is going to be after a rough season or two with his new team. The Falcons defense won’t take it lightly to the rookie.

Tyrod Taylor Week 10-  I am betting on Tyrod Taylor taking care of the football enough to still have his job in week 10. A stretch I know but add in Baker Mayfield’s antics that will happen sometime between now and week 10 and Taylor is still the starter here.

Whomever the Browns choose to start it will be a long day for them. Neither Taylor or Mayfield are great quarterbacks and both will struggle with the Browns. Luck of the draw for the Falcons who finally get a free win in week 10.
