Chris Redman to Start at QB for Falcons

Please, God, let me change my NFL picks. Chris Redman was absolutely destroyed by the Ravens, and now he gets to start again. His moment of glory came with the Ravens up 37-0 over the Bengals in the game that was so humiliating that Bruce Coslet quit immediately afterwards. Redman was 2-for-3 in that game, his incompletion coming when Billick was arguably running up the score by throwing into the end zone.



I have never witnessed a man become psychologically broken so quickly and severely as Redman was when he took the Ravens' helm. I don't know if the 5+ years since then have given him a chance to recover and reflect, but I don't have a lot of faith.

Of course, Redman has ties to Falcons coach Bobby "I Get a Free Pass Thanks to Vick" Petrino, though Petrino never coached Redman at Louisville.

I really hope that Chris "The Chosen One" Redman ends up being a successful NFL quarterback, just to see how much it would kill Ravens fans.

If Redman is successful, do they still draft Brohm?

I hope so. Most Ravens fans can tell you that a couple games of Redman looking good does not mean anything. He's very fragile.
