he did good against a really good defense
@Reidgaming also play top 5 defense today in a hard place place cold, wind, and definitely loud.. as much as you sit behind your screen and think it’s o easy to complete a pass all those come into a factor.
@Reidgaming funny also how I said he has zero weapons at WR or TE which is something any team has in the nfl. Also are playbook/ play call is a lot bigger factor than are qb
@Kaileb Webster he had one weapon but other than that i agree with you
@Reidgaming he had 218 yards man
@One-Eyed King I agree London but I wasn’t going to count a rookie because considering he has the same rookie mentality of tryna learn the nfl speed.
This guy is going to be a franchise QB, whether it is with the Falcons or some other team,.
Hopefully some other team.
@Kelvin Gavin Hopefully for the Falcons. You guys need to stop with this so-called elite QB nonsense. There is no such thing.
@FADELESS Don’t feed the trolls. They’re just a bunch of losers unhappy with their life.
@Dave Josh Allen, Pat Mahomes, Justin Herbert, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Aaron Rodgers
@Reidgaming can you complete even one damn pass let alone memorize an entire damn play call?
Exactly, you can’t so STFU
I think he’s gonna be really good. But at the end of the day someone needs to ask him to say at the end of the day less. I think Mariota may have taught him that phrase.
I hope Marcus comes back to guide Ridder.
What else would you like to blame Marcus for?
@Mary Jane Beeler It was just a joke. Not a shot at
Mariota. I like Marcus. he just doesn’t have “it”. Time will tell if Ridder does.
@Dennis Dumancas I agree Mariota would be a good backup/mentor at the right price. Not sure that’s feasible with the way things went with the benching. But who knows what really went down.
@Itshay Appenshay
Exactly. Nobody knows. The truth will come out eventually.
Des look like he’s a good to keep it real
Every game Ridder has given the team chances to win. With this off-season to upgrade the roster, he’ll get this team into the play-offs in 2023.
So did Marcus Mariota.
It don’t matter if the coaches can’t call better plays.
@Dennis Dumancas Mariota lost at least three games with his turnovers.
@InterWebGuy99 just lucky they keep dropping ridders interceptions lol
He looks skittish early and settles down as the game goes on. AS needs to call simple short passes early in the game to get him comfortable. He made a couple really nice throws in bad weather. Also he needs to gain like 10 lbs in the offseason, bro looks frailer than Matt Ryan.
Brady threw for 90 his second start. I’ve got faith in the kid. He seems to be made of the right stuff.
Man commands this team like no other that I’ve seen in years with style, grace and a winning attitude!
Desmond….. Hold your head high!!! We smart fans see the competitive nature in you!!! You just need help!!! It’s coming brother….. 2023🎉 draft!!! Your our leader !! You have Soo much potential and only going to set fire to the NFL world next season! 👍 Just learn young man….. Learn!
Explain…..
@Sean Bugatti Gaming x RVRE Creators again you are not a smart fan and think rebuilding during the offseason or beginning of the season is smarter than actually saving time to compete next year for a whole season
@Sean Bugatti Gaming x RVRE Creators Sean….. Explain that bogus contract to Matt Ryan that bled is out for years!?! We have actual talent in different areas now. Not like before. This team is heading in the right path! Next season…. We’ll be a ” Winning” team with a ” Winning” record 👍
Ridder will score his first NFL Touchdown at home and defeat Brady
“I didn’t know it was intentional grounding when your arm gets hit” lmfao <3 you Desmond Ridder cracking me up 🤣
Ridder! I stand behind you 100% no matter what anyone says! Keep up the hard work! Never stop working and I love the leadership. Playing like a vet already! No quit coming from this guy! Gotta love it ⚫️🔴⚪️. Keeps a positive mindset
Keep grinding!!! Go Falcons!!!
Yeah honestly. I think he played good. He’ll progress, learn, we have to add some pieces on the offensive line, maybe another dynamic receiver. Defense needs everything.
Blessing 🙌 atlanta falcons riseup 💪
Major improvement in just a game .
1st game: 59 passer rating with 50% completions and 97 yards ..
2nd Game: 85 passer rating on 66% completions and 218 yards .
I think one of the falcons biggest problem is the o-line
He is being VERY transparent I like the character notice he isn’t being passive or nice just being real!
Impressed me with some really good throws today
Have seen a great improvememt just within 2 games so far. Keep it going Des
0 TDS and 2 losses is great improvement?? 😂 no wonder falcons never won a ring . Y’all soft asf
@Heaven11 You don’t watch Falcons football so you wouldn’t know
He’s getting better, if our defense can do the same maybe we can win more games. For 2023, we have lot’s of money to try and get these players that can make plays for us mainly defensively. We need a little help on offense with our o-line but other than that let’s mainly get defnese
just keep him, idc if hes good or bad. Simply tired of ppl thinking QBs can win every game by themself.
