They need a talented QB to lead this team. One way they are going to fix a lot of there problems is if they draft a reliable QB that doesn't suck (Joey Harrington), get injured (Bryan Leftwich), or gets jailed (Michael Vick).

They Falcons would solve some problems, and win more games with a talented, young QB prospect.

They have a good RB in Michael Turner, all they need to do is improve the WR position, and get a good QB, and they should do a little better than last year. OLine and defense needs to improve to be a good team again.

If they get a good QB that is young, AND GOOD (unlike Carr was), then Falcons can do well.

QBs can do well in Atlanta. He doesn't have to throw much, and they have other picks in the drafts, which they will be able to draft some O-Line players.

They have an O-Line to protect a running QB. They could get Matt Ryan, but there are other choices out there. Josh Johnson (San Diego kid), he is an option that they can draft.

As you could see last year, David Carr also sucked with the Carolina Panthers. It doesn't matter if someone is good coming out of college. Look at what happened to Ryan Leaf. He had talent coming out of college, and poof, he came into the NFL and he completely sucked.

What I'm saying there is David Carr wasn't good enough for an NFL QB. The Falcons have nothing else to lose, so they should draft a QB prospect. Another reason is that they have decent receivers and an above average TE so they need a good QB to help out with that. Plus, a good QB would improve the WRs and TEs (example:Tom Brady)

Why should the Falcons wait until next year? They need a QB this year. If they got a QB this year, they could go after other positions. Draft a QB prospect in the 2nd or 3rd and then in the 1st round, draft a different position that they need help with. They could get Dorsey, Gholston, or Long in the first round, and get a good prospect QB in the 2nd or 3rd, or even 4th round.

The Falcons need a QB. You are acting like they only have one pick. The draft is 7 ROUNDS! They have more than 1 pick. They have picks that they will be able to use.

As I said in my last paragraph of my 2nd argument, they can go after a big need of theirs, then with a 2nd or 3rd round pick, depending on where Josh Johnson is still available (top QB available) or another reliable QB (Joe Flacco), the Falcons should draft him. That will help out the team a lot.

The Falcons need to draft a top QB prospect.
