Tua Tagovialoa IMPRESSING at Atlanta Falcons OTAs, Sleeping on the Panthers & Jaguars Hibernation

The Atlanta Falcons have one of the more interesting quarterback battles in the NFL with Tua Tagovialoa and Michael Penix as contenders. With Penix on the mend, Tua has taken advantage and been impressive early on. Atlanta certainly has the weapons and with James Pearce seemingly in the clear, this team is good enough to make noise in the south. Their division rival, the Carolina Panthers, won the crown last season, but somehow are never discussed as a real team to watch. Repeating would fix that issue quickly. In the AFC South, the Jacksonville Jaguars are defending the title, but after a poorly-received offseason, they aren't getting the respect they deserve. A similar statement could be made for the Indianapolis Colts who were the hottest team in the NFL for the first half of the 2025 schedule. Two historic teams in the NFC seem to be slept on as well with the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys. Talent isn't limited in the Bay Area, but it all depends on health whereas for the Boys, it all comes down to defense.
