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.
Start Ridder…
Let the young QB be a young QB…
As far as I’m concerned there is not a way where this works out poorly for Atlanta…
If he blossoms, great! We have our QB!
If not, great! We have us a solid back up for the next few seasons and we go hard in Free Agency or the Draft for a QB…
