To finish this, the Falcons had to go above and above. With the quality on the roster, Atlanta was perhaps too excellent the previous offseason to select one of the top QB prospects in this year’s selection. The only veteran available who has demonstrated over several seasons that he can provide quarterback play far above replacement level is Cousins.
This season, Cousins was not only the Falcons’ best quarterback prospect—he was their only hope.
Despite being far into his forties and recovering from an Achilles injury, Cousins still has his share of warts. He is, however, ideal for this offense at quarterback if he stays healthy. From their time together in Washington, he has known Raheem Morris. What former Rams passing game coordinator Zac Robinson will implement with the Falcons and what Kevin O’Connell requested of Cousins in Minnesota have a lot in common schematically.
In Atlanta, we’ll at the very least witness an adult NFL passing game.
Every player on the Falcons roster is a tremendous success. Drake London possesses the abilities to be a quintessential No. 1 star-caliber wide receiver. London is the top wide receiver on any breakout list with the arrival of Cousins, after two seasons of coping with subpar quarterback play. The desire of the cousins to work across the center and target wideouts in tight coverage fit London perfectly.
Bijan Robinson was always going to be a premium pick in the fantasy draft, but having a top-notch quarterback in his lineup only makes him much more appealing. You may even hope for Kyle Pitts after a number of seasons hampered by injuries. For the Falcons offense, the improving ecology might be the rising tide that lifts all boats.
