Falcons HC Raheem Morris explains who, how QB decision was made | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

[@scottsodyssey2485]

Translation - The HC doesn't have the autonomy to decide who the starting QB is.

[@justicestyles]

exactly lol .. what a load of bull ... don't sound like he'll be there long

[@Keith_No_Sweat]

Correct........ He already said previously in other interviews that they are a collaborative group...... Dummy

[@seshubeshu5959]

Ngl...I like it when Chris Simms is co-hosting the show. None of the others (Holley, Devin, Rodney - maybe) really push back on Florio when he goes off on his tangents.

[@Puma4986]

Rodney definitely lets him hear it when he’s getting too far in the weeds 😂

[@akshay831]

Florio constantly getting onto his computer every time Simms is talking is so aggravating. Like dude stop being rude and give him your full fucking attention for fucks sake. I bet you would get so annoyed if every time you were talking you saw Chirs' eyes get low and start moving around. So weird

[@johaw105]

Our owner listened to the media and said this is happening

[@WhiteyThePooh]

The whole organization sucks…Been like that before “Your owner” took over and still does..

[@motsy15]

The falcons biggest problem is that everything is collaborative. They always go for splash

[@ChazBrown22]

Florio talking about a group text with the team….lmaoooooooo

[@jameshoops10]

😂 he doesn’t get it

[@RedRaptor7]

Falcons fan here. Morris is such a simp. He should have come out and said “The decision to bench cousins was my decision” why should Arthur Blank have a say in the matter? He’s the owner that’s it. Bad management IMO. Morris has zero pull in that organisation

[@DeosPraetorian]

I mean him being the owner kind of inherently means he gets a say in things

[@WhiteyThePooh]

As a Bucs fan, we’ve seen Raheem and he is not head coach material..He is awfully arrogant these days after Sean Mcvay saved his career..I think Pennix was the best QB prospect is last years draft and will do well ..Raheem, Blank and the Falcons organization minus the current GM are not good at their job

[@szn1580]

Never heard a coach called a simp lmao

[@mykofreder1682]

Sincde Tampa he has had passing yards without points and looks like a 1-2 regardless of opponent down the stretch. This was not some owner forcing it, 5 consecutive bad performances in a row it would be the owner forcing a Watson if he still was playing. Penax could be worse but you throw few passes and have a Fields offense ready, that won't be on the Atlanta film.

[@petervaldez7413]

Another example of a HC that should not be a HC and then ruins the teams quarterback

[@Paula-mv8im]

The Falcons’ coaching staff are idiots and Robinson needs to be fired. Kirk is one of the best at play action passing and yet.....the Falcons have used play action at one of the lowest rates in the league. And then after the bye, Morris stated that they were going to do more play action and they used it even LESS. So not using play action is clearly not working…so the solution is to bench the quarterback instead of fixing the obvious problem??? The exact same thing happened to the Vikings in 2018 in Kirk’s first season. The play action play calls were bottom of the league and the offense hadn't scored 24+ points in six straight games. Zimmer fired his OC and did not bench Kirk. The very next game, the interim OC called a lot more play action and the Vikings scored 41 points in a blow-out win. Seems like it was the play calls. Funny how that works. With decisions like this, it’s not a surprise the Falcons have had losing seasons the last six years….smh

​@@Paula-mv8im Kirk is too immobile to run Play Action effectively. Defenses know he's slow so they bull rush blitz and are in his lap within 2 seconds. I love Kirk but he's too slow to run the offense that they want to run

[@soldiertosoldierhawaiireal4353]

Lol cousin been ruin long time ago

[@smoove2432]

This is not that big of a deal. When Kirk was good you had a chockhold on the division. Now that he is playing trash you arent. Raheem and Jimmy Lake has the defense playing ok. Plus you beat the Bucs twice and your still in the mix.

[@Paula-mv8im]

Not if the Bucs win all of their games and they have an easier schedule. The Falcons have failed Kirk. After making Kirk think that he’s the guy, they draft Penix and sour the fanbase against Kirk because all they wanna see is Penix. And now this…smh. Robinson would rather do what he wants versus what his quarterback is good at. Kirk needs to find a team with better coaches.

[@smoove2432]

@Paula-mv8im how in the heck they fail Kirk 🤔🤔🤔. Who they draft is none of his business. They paid him that 180 period. Your job is to perform. If you was doing your job none of this happens. You have PLENTY weapons on that offense.

[@DeosPraetorian]

​@@smoove2432first off that 180 isn't guaranteed, only a hundred of it is

[@smoove2432]

@DeosPraetorian A Quarterback's contract is always fully guaranteed if they are still good unlike the other positions. So if he was good for 4 years he would get every single dime.

Raheem is a good coordinator but not meant to be a headcoach ..He proved that already in Tampa..Also, He’s awfully arrogant these days since he got made by Mcvay ..I guess in his defense it’s hard been hard for anyone to have a decent go in Atlanta

[@chrisclark2747]

That was a completely different situation. It's almost a complete opposite situation. Wentz was the young QB, second year, and he was in the midst of an MVP caliber season and then suffered a season ending injury. Foles was then veteran, first year back with Philly, but had been with the Eagles for his first 3 seasons, who came in with loads of experience as a starter. This is nothing like what happened in 2017.
