Their shelf life is so short that by the time the Falcons are ready to compete, Bijan will be looking for a 2nd contract that he likely won't live up to.

Wrong. How many times do we hear the phrase "A QB's best friend is his running game"?. I bet the Falcons would be lucky to have 2 wins without Robinson. 

If they had sat Ridder down sooner for Heinicke? They probably have 5 wins at the moment or more. There's still 9 games left and the Falcons could very easily run away at some point or win that division with 8 or 9 wins. 

It's that bad.

Well they beat the Bucs without him. They beat the Panthers with Allgeier running for 75 yards and 2 TDS. They beat the Texans when he rushed for 46 yards.....

I understand how bad Ridder is but that's precisely my point. Bijan isn't moving the needle on this team and likely won't be a factor to their wins and losses until the QB is fixed. And who knows how long that will take.
