Considering Falcons QB draft history, I wouldn’t expect them to draft a QB in the 1st round unless they ended up with a pick somewhere 1-5.
I think we need a 1st round edge rusher and a 2nd round burner at WR.
If he finishes the year strong and plays well in the home playoff game, doesn’t have to win would 100% deserve a second look IMO
Some of y’all still trying to talk yourselves into this happening. And desperately want game manager play for some reason. Only way I would be ok with this is if he’s putting up 65%+, 200+ yards and better than a 2:1 ratio the rest of the way out and a winning record while looking good. And I just don’t see that happening right now.
Wanting the bare minimum and “game manager” play from the QB is the most baffling thing ever when I comes to Ridder believers.
There’s no way the team can go into next season without adding true competition at the position.
Ridder has done nothing that would have the FO pass on adding a QB in the draft or by some other means. He’s be responsible for 15 TOs, has more Interceptions than TDs. There’s nothing in his game that give the impression that he’s going to take a massive step and why would the team bet on what they’ve seen this year. I won’t go as far as say he’s trash but the guy ain’t a franchise QB, and if you don’t have that guy on your team, you’d best find one.
A rookie QB may require a trade up, but would also reset the counter on having an affordable QB contract. A vet might cost more money and would only be kicking the QB position down the road.
If he keeps improving and playing well enough to win games I think we draft a first round edge and I think we can still get a good qb by maybe trading up in the 2nd round (depending on the qb class situation) and let them battle it out.
i mean, if ridder all the sudden turns into CJ Stroud next week then obv we keep him, but c’mon, we all know that ain’t happening.
Dez being Stroud the rest of the year still isn’t enough in my opinion.
hot take! man you’d be crazy. cj’s been looking great. he’d at least be worth keeping around and compete with the new qb if he’s playing that hot
Glad to beat the Saints, but let’s stop pretending Ridder put the team on his back or something. The offense scored 17 points and he completed 13 passes.
