Kurt Benkert says Falcons should sign former Super Bowl MVP
Former Falcons QB says Atlanta should sign Joe Flacco in wake of Penix injury
The Atlanta Falcons have faced quarterback injuries throughout their season, causing them to rely on Cooper Rush. Rush's performance was not impressive, leading to a loss against the Baltimore Ravens. Michael Penix Jr. returned to the lineup and led the team to two dominant wins, but suffered a rib injury in the fourth quarter of the latest game.
If Penix is unable to play against the Chicago Bears in Week 6, the team's confidence in their backup quarterbacks is questionable. Former Falcons quarterback Kurt Benkert, who spent his early years on the practice squad, suggested that the Falcons should sign veteran QB Joe Flacco as their backup. Benkert believes that Flacco, who has a Super Bowl MVP title and a history with Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski, would be a solid option.
