Watching rookie/unknown QB’s like Sam Howell, Tommy Devito, Joshua Dobbs, Bryce Young, and now even Jordan Love have breakout games with visible improvement as the season goes along has me scratching my head on Ridder’s lack of progression.
Ridder says all the right things and acts like a proper QB. He’s supposedly one of the first ones in and last ones out, has the confidence and athletic ability. And yet here we are in week 12 and Ridder has not only shown 0 improvement, but actually regression.
I think this is more of a failure of the Falcons coaching staff to develop a QB more than anything else.
Ridder has shown willingness to learn but who is teaching Ridder? We have no QB coach, our head coach is a lineman and never played QB, and a “veteran” backup who’s only started 1 season. Last season, he had Mariota - LOL.
QB is the hardest and most complex position on the field. Even if we draft a QB with next year’s 1st round pick as long as we have our current regime the QB is going to fail because he won’t have any support.
Hard to develop without a qb coach…
