It’s difficult to be disappointed by a team that is clearly rebuilding. While Arthur Smith doesn’t want to hear it, there is no hiding from the truth that the Falcons are in exactly that kind of rebuilding mode. A roster as flawed and limited as what they had in 2021 indicated that. Despite the many additions this offseason, it’s not clear that has changed in 2022.
Even fter the failed, desperate pursuit of Deshaun Watson, trading away Matt Ryan, and a flurry of free agent signings to go with an influx of young talent from the draft, Falcons still seem to be in the same position as a team years away from being a legitimate contender.
