The Falcons were 4-3 and leading the NFC South when Ridder was pulled after a bad first half in the Titans game.

The Falcons (with Ridder no longer the starter) are now 4-6.

This year Ridder did show progression and signs of excellence (300+ yard and multi-TD games) as a QB relative to what other great quarterbacks of the past demonstrated as they improved.

Do you believe that it would be prudent to let Desmond finish the year as starter and evaluate from there? We are still just a game from leading the NFC South but now the Falcons are 4-6 instead of 4-3.

    People will downvote this because they think a young QB shouldn’t make young mistakes meanwhile they think drafting penix or Daniels will automatically throw for Pat Mahomes MVP numbers.

    I’m on board for them but also don’t think we should write off ridder without giving him a chance to really develop before moving.

    Heineke ain’t it. Doesn’t elevate us. Doesn’t make us better so it’s nonsense to keep running with him.
