12/27 for 121yards. We scored 1 TD.

He’s not the “problem” but he’s not the answer.

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 anything, we won in spite of Ridder.

In the second half, when we needed to salt the game away took the ball out of his hands and kept it on the ground, that’s a coach that chose to put the ball in the hands of his best players instead of making 9 the lynchpin of the offense and our team got in rhythm when they removed Ridder from the equation. He threw a good ball to Bijan form the the TD, but he’s still the same QB from week 3. Stares down his receivers and terrible decision-making with the ball. He doesn’t hold the ball as much but he’s due for two TOs a game.

Right lol " Next Year".

They need to bring in a QB for a true position battle and not just hand him the job like they did this year. He’s a backup, Falcons need to find a true franchise QB.

The Falcons don’t have much of a choice.

They are giving him a chance to let the front office know they don’t need to draft or sign another QB and be hasn’t done much to prove they shouldn’t. Ridder isn’t a franchise QB but since he has more future potential than Taylor he should play. Play and evaluate your 3rd round pick.

Run it!

When has benching a 3rd round pick ever made them play better after thwy got the starting job back? Did benching Zach Wilson help him?

This kid fucking sucks. I hope these last 7 games finally kills all hope for him, his desbians and Arthur Smith. Just imagine with the Jets defense is going to do to him.

…okay did the front office intentionally wait until Sunday so they could still have a way to piss me off? Lol

It doesn’t matter who starts, the future franchise QB isn’t on the roster. Just sucks we’re going to go back to scoring 6pts a half.

“I became a Falcon fan because of Ridder”

JESUS. CHRIST.

Legitimately every single hardcore Ridder supporter is trying thier best to convince everyone that he’s a NFL starter and that we should forego adding to the position. And when people don’t agree (which they have the right to) the double down and when that doesn’t work, “this fanbase is stupid”, “you don’t know football” x,y,z… They legit parrot the same thing and it’s getting annoying. Support the guy but nobody else has to. Jesus Christ

IMO, this is the most annoyingly frustrating thing this year for me. Ridder has somehow been the topic constantly and I’m so tired of talking about this guy. People are literally breaking their necks trying to convince defend him, indojt understand it.

Injury history and mobility.

We need an actual QB.

Yes.

Wasn’t Matt 36 when he left?

Unceremoniously shipping off the best QB in the team’s history only to return to a 36yr QB coming off a season ending injury, with Ridder as his backup. Missing out on another potential strong draft class at QB is exactly some shit this FO would do lol

It’s Ridder most likely, and unfortunately. Unless AS is truly going to run with the health concerns excuse, a concussion that Ridder can’t even tell you the play it happened and was CLEARED from, it’s going to be Ridder.

Who cares?

His family is worh like 6Bs lol his ass was born in the press box 😂
