Ridder Me This, Ridder Me That: Do We Have a QB? - Official 2023 Atlanta Falcons Thread

[Georgiamuscle]

At least the bum ass Saints lost

Passing game and offense looks completely confused out there

There’s no suddenness at receiver and the OL is overmatched in pass pro.

These were problems last year but Mariota was an easy scapegoat. Might have to start spreading teams out

I don’t disagree with you but the QB has to process the protections and routes better. He’s not doing that

When the other team rightfully doesn’t respect the speed on the outside and is kicking your ass upfront you’re pretty much checkmated. And there’s no quick hitters in the passing game.

Ridder is a 3rd round pick so he’ll have to turn shyt into sugar in order to not be replaced, but this is 3 years with 3 different QBs now that the passing offense looks barely functional.

These problems right now are structural.

You bring up an interesting point but I don’t think they’ve picked great QBs (Matt was at the end of his career, Mariota’s a career backup and Ridder is an unknown). At some point you need a capable NFL QB who can consistently make NFL throws into tight windows. Maybe Ridder gets to that level but the early returns aren’t promising so far

That’s true, but I’m seeing way more out of Arizona’s offense and they don’t have this level of supposed talent. 21 against a top 3 defense.

Everything in Atlanta looks so slow and difficult

Such a beautiful stadium

Of course hindsight is always 20/20 but Arthur Smith should've gave Ridder some more burn in the preseason, to get him more established.

Ridder's passing accuracy comes and goes he's a streaky passer.

I think Ridder is done. Mfs already talking about trading for kirk cousins.

Best option we put the Heineken man in. At least we can get some downfield shots. Get Pitts and London involved before morale drops too low.

Pitts giving up on routes 3 games into the season is concerning.

Cmon breh. You know what’s coming in London if we can’t establish the run game to hide Ridder’s deficiencies

I'll be tough on Ridder after the Jaguars game.

But some of y'all really need to start to understand Ridder is a 3rd round draft pick.

Put this is the reality some of y'all wanted. Y'all wanted Matt Ryan out of here, now here we are......
