Quarterbacks show it early in Atlanta Falcons training camp

There is a fine line between believing what you see on the practice field and taking it with a grain of salt. While many will be quick to say “it’s just practice,” you can still learn a lot from the reports you hear from training camp.

One of the things you can look at a lot is accuracy from your quarterback. Nice and accurate throws will do at any point on the NFL calendar.

Good news! It looks like the two new quarterbacks are doing great during the Atlanta Falcons training camp. This is in stark contrast to everything we heard at this point last year.

On day two of training camp, the Atlanta Falcons switched things up with their two stud quarterbacks. Unquestioned starter Kirk Cousins ​​ran against the second-team defense, while the team’s future Michael Penix Jr. went up against the first-team defense.

They both played fantastically and were very efficient with the ball.

Counting the drops, the two passers scored 25 of the 28 runs with a number of downfield darts.

What more do you need to hear? With a good quarterback last year, the Falcons would have made the playoffs. With the rest of the division barely making any progress, Atlanta has a great chance to win a division title and make the postseason.

Creating more explosive plays is key. It’s exciting to hear that both Cousins ​​and Penix had dimes 50 yards down the field. The additions of Rondale Moore and Darnell Mooney seem to be paying off already.

The bad news is the drops and that the first team defense struggled to stop the backups. Hopefully things will even out as we get closer to the regular season.
