The Atlanta Falcons had a few days to evaluate the film following their prime-time loss to the Panthers in Week 10 and it appears they are sticking with Marcus Mariota as the starting quarterback.
It’s not exactly surprising that head coach Arthur Smith backed Mariota, but some felt it was time to make the move to rookie Desmond Ridder following the team’s poor offensive showing on Thursday night football. Smith likes where the Falcons are despite their current two-game losing streak.
Fans in Atlanta are strongly divided on the QB situation. Let’s see how Twitter reacted to hearing Mariota will remain the starter.
#Falcons coach Arthur Smith on QB SITUATION: “There is no situation. There was never a situation, ever. I don’t know where that…You understand why the question is getting asked. You lose two games in five days. Everybody wants to panic.”

The fact that he’s even commenting on it again and now addressing it at least shows he’s starting to feel the pressure and hear what everyone is saying about Mariota’s play. The panthers game was national TV so everyone got to see what Mariota has looked like for the first time. https://t.co/OdjpMYGzl8

@Cianaf dropping straight factz about Mariota and the Falcons offense but the haters won’t listen. Don’t let the loud minority make you believe Marcus should be benched. This team is not good around him. We all knew this when we saw he was going to ATL but what do I know right? https://t.co/TwMNx1DmpZ
