We’re a poverty franchise, the fucking redditors could’ve done a better job building a team.
Taking a TE that high when, Jamar chase, micha, Devonta smith, Jaylen waddle, Penie Sewell, Patrick Surtain, were taking right after. Is why we will be a poverty franchise for decades
Then the following year taking the slowest wide receiver when our defense was ass and Garrett Wilson was on the board.
Then the following year taking a RB when we have an elite run game already, when arguably the best player in the draft is still on the board when historically we have had the worst pass rush in decades
Fuck my dad for making me watch this team and cursing me with being a falcons fan.
Ive used those 2 games to criticize ridder ever since we drafted him.
All you have to do is watch those 2 games (i can have the links of anyone wants them)
You see uga defense and bama defense each having at least 5 nfl defenders on their team… and ridder not being able to do anything when he also has nfl guys on his offense.
He just isn’t good unless his offense extremely over matches the defenses he is playing
And to he honest we have given him weapons here that outmatch most defenses at least in our division and he still cannot consistently run the offense much less win. He just can’t handle it. And smith is going to get fired for trying to make the offense work with him.
Smith offense worked good enough with ryan and mariota for as bad as those teams were. And things are probably a lot different if we started Heinicke from the beginning. Instead ridder cost us games in historical fashion and the fanbase and team have turned on each other the players and the coaches etc .
Its a dumpster fire mainly cause of ridder imo. Might be a dumpster fire either way but not as bad with another QB that can at least run an NFL offense
