BetterCallSaul Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 He's gonna become an elite QB. Some QB's don't become great until their 9th-10th time getting benched. Plenty of examples of that happening. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 If you remove Ridder getting benched twice this season, then he’s been the full time starter 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler735 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 If we just focus on Ridder's good plays this season he's been at least a mediocre QB. I think it's really important to keep that in mind when assessing Ridder. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoundrel Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 You should always start the better player. Falcons finally playing catch up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Benching a franchise QB with the playoffs on the line isn't very smart Arthur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKillerNacho Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 so much for declaring "Riddler is the starter for the rest of the season". Like, how much do you have to see before you realize he just doesn't have it? I do get it, though - he's seeing the playoffs (and his job) slipping out of his grasp. But it's too late. What a clown lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFan13 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I'll say this i don't think ridder should be benched because he should be our backup going forward. He isn't a franchise QB but he can win you some games and has good tools. I would have rather him started the rest of the games to get more experience in him. Taylor should be gone after this season for cap reasons leaving ridder the backup. Don't see a reason to swap to Taylor now that the season is pretty much over with it's just dumb. But par for the course Smith is making a dumb decision so what else is new lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But benching him doesn't seem like a great idea. The Falcons should know what they can realistically accomplish right now, and it's not the playoffs or even a "good" season. What was realistic is getting guys who probably won't see the field again for a while the reps they need while taking whatever lumps may happen along the way. Just says Smith is about to hit the unemployment line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
