The Atlanta Falcons came out of their first preseason game of the 2022 season with a win. But a big question came to the surface. Are the Falcons quarterbacks too mobile and is it a bad thing?
Desmond Ridder had a decent night under center going 10-for-22 with 103 yards and two touchdowns. But the big kicker on his stat line was that he led the Falcons offense in rushing with six rushing attempts for 59 yards.
While it it is great for a quarterback to be able to scramble, is Ridder relaying on this too much? Ridder was not the only QB to make a dash from behind center in this game. Marcus Mariota had three rushing attempts for 23 yards and a touchdown. This put Mariota fourth in rushing for the Falcons on this game.
While this may end up being a one-off for the Falcons, only time will tell.
