When the Falcons declined to keep Eric Weems around heading into 2017 and instead signed veteran return Andre Roberts, the decision was met with more or less universal acclaim. Many fans were tired of Weems and his seemingly poor decision-making coming on returns, and while I thought the criticisms of Weems were a bit overblown, Roberts had long been a good returner. It was a sensible enough signing.
After the 2017 season, though, it would not be surprised if a Roberts re-signing was met with vitriol from fans. What a difference a year makes.
