Do the Falcons have the worst quarterbacks in the NFL?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Falcons began last season with same quarterbacks they currently have on the roster — Chris Redman, Joey Harrington and D.J. Shockley.
In terms of NFL success, it wasn’t an impressive unit last year and it certainly isn’t any different this season. But, a month before the draft, do the Falcons have the absolute worst set of quarterbacks in the NFL? If not, who does?
Here are a few other teams that could compete for the dubious distinction:
San Francisco: Alex Smith, Shaun Hill, J.T. O’Sullivan, Trent Dilfer. Drew Olson
Chicago: Rex Grossman, Kyle Orton
Green Bay: Aaron Rodgers, Dalton Bell, Craig Nall
Baltimore: Steve McNair, Kyle Boller, Troy Smith
Oakland: JaMarcus Russell, Andrew Walter
Kansas City: Brodie Croyle, Damon Huard, Tyler Thigpen
N.Y. Jets: Chad Pennington, Kellen Clemens, Brent Ratliff,
Miami: Josh McCown, John Beck, Casey Bramlet, Matt Baker
What does everybody think? Which teams, if any, have worse quarterbacks than the Falcons? And, with that said, if the Falcons choose anyone other than a QB with the third overall pick in the draft, is it a huge mistake?

Hawks “season” begins with loss
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Hawks’ so-called “20-game season” began with a loss Monday on the road against Orlando.
Next up for Atlanta - the Houston Rockets, winners of 19 straight games, the third longest streak in NBA history. The Hawks are still clinging to the Eastern Conference’s final playoff berth, but have a slim lead over the Nets and Bulls.
So what are your thoughts after last night’s game? Granted, Orlando has the best record in the Southeast Division and are headed to the playoffs, but were you disappointed with the Hawks’ performance? Or would you just chalk it up to being defeated by a better team?
Let us know what you think.

King just wants to play football
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Spring football practice at UGA has given redshirt freshman Caleb King an opportunity to do what he does best - “Go out there and play football.”
He’s been one of the most publicized recruits in years, and now he’s ready to prove he has the ability to match the reputation. Said assistant coach Mike Bobo, “We’re very pleased with him and the progress he’s made, and we’re going to continue to work him and give him what he can handle.”
What are your thoughts as King prepares for the upcoming season? Can he team with Knowshon Moreno to give UGA a dominant backfield?
Let us know what you think.
