It was NFL coaching, broadcasting, and video game legend John Madden who has been credited for uttering the oh-so-true prophecy, “If you have two quarterbacks, you actually have none.” Apparently, at least based on what we’ve seen this season, Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith is not a practicing member of the Church of Madden.
