The truth is the Falcons have played shitty QBs & teams in most of their games.  Panthers twice, Bears, Bucs, Commanders, Titans, Love's second start, Cardinals, Vikings, Saints.

Bates NEVER performed to the level he is this season with us.  We made the right call with Bates, only stupid teams sign a safety to 16M per year with our roster and his previous performance.

Well he's having an Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu type season this year!
