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

[AVXL]

We know what we have in ridder. And tbh this process should’ve been started last season when mariota was throwing passes off his damn back.

We were a worse team last year in the same spot with the same record. Smiths stubbornness is becoming more and more of a problem as weeks go by.

Isn’t the clear answer to start Heineken man ? If you watched the game against the titans there was a clear difference when he was running the offense vs ridder in the first half. It’s obvious to anyone who watches that ridder just doesn’t have it.

fukkin Will Levis started his first game against us and balled out. What else is there to see from ridder? Some players have it and others don’t. That wait and see shyt is the reason why we losing close games and the team got negative morale. With the skill players we have we should easily be scoring 30 a game. Waiting for ridder is a disservice to our past 3 drafts.

Yep. We’ve seen 12 games of Ridder. I agree you don’t need 2 plus seasons to see if a guy got it or not it should become obvious if he’s really progressing or not

Dukes and Bell be talking tough bout coach Smith throughout the week but every Wednesday they try to be all buddy buddy with him on his call in show

Taylor is the starter next Sunday.

As happy as I am that they made the switch, the reality is that we’ll be in this same exact position a year ago. Heinicke is a bandaid and Ridder’s a backup in this league, neither one of them is a franchise guy.

And it doesn’t sound like AS wanted to make this move but his hand was forced.

The higher ups prolly said "Look bytch, we done invested a lot of money in these weapons. We ain't got time to bullshyt we need to win now so either bench Ridder or your ass is grass"

When are we gonna start to criticize Smith

I've been criticizing him

He's fukking awful and has been awful. I wanted him gone a long time ago, he's the cause of most of the problems.

Plus he's a complete a$$hole that has accomplished nothing!!!!

Yea I’m sick of his Jedi Mind trick style of play calling, instead of letting players just play to their strength….they need to get rid of him

Need NO or TB to make a run and win the division.

We know what we have in Smith and the longer he’s coach the longer we’re going to be in hell

Why did ya'll draft Bijan to not use him? Is he fukking up in practice or something?
