The Atlanta Falcons have a good problem at quarterback

With both Marcus Mariota and Desmond Ridder playing well, the Atlanta Falcons might have a good problem at quarterback.

There is an old saw about football.

If you have two (or more) quarterbacks, you have none.

However, the Atlanta Falcons might be turning that on its head.

This past offseason the Falcons signed Marcus Mariota, the former second-overall selection, to a two-year deal. Then in the draft, Atlanta managed to wait until the third round to draft a quarterback, adding Desmond Ridder with the 74th-overall selection.

Prior to drafting Ridder, Atlanta added a ton of talent, including wide receiver Drake London, pass rusher Arnold Ebiketie, and linebacker Troy Anderson.

Through two preseason games, both quarterbacks have played well. While Ridder is getting the bulk of attention, which is likely to be expected with a rookie, Mariota has been nearly perfect in limited action.

That might make for a good problem for Atlanta this fall.
