He's already top 3. If you take all of his good plays (there is no such thing as a bad Desmond Ridder play) and make them into elite plays, then it's literally impossible for him to throw an interception, let alone an incomplete pass.

Tugboat Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I kind of figured Ridder would stay, when it looked like Atlanta might be going after Fields as their starter. That would've made sense. But once they landed Cousins...it doesn't make as much sense to just keep a guy like Ridder who has already proven he's not gonna get the job done. Might as well draft a guy to develop behind Kirk at that point i guess. So you can at least pretend to have some sort of succession plan in place behind your 36 year old QB.

That's like asking if the Chargers were losing faith in Herbert because they drafted Max Duggan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But agreed. I'd imagine Pitts will essentially be the WR2, London/Pitts will be target hogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scar988 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 5 hours ago, Hunter2_1 said: What’s the OL looking like going into the season? The same as last season. Jake Matthews at LT who is a reliable, solid LT Matthew Bergeron at LG going into his 2nd season after he looked solid as a rookie Drew Dalman at C who is an underrated center. Chris Lindstrom at RG and is a top 3 G in the NFL Kaleb McGary at RT who is a solid RT in the league Basically, it's 2 above-average tackles, 1 elite guard, and two guys who are average at worst C and LG. And we kept the OL coach from the last 3 years. Also re-signed Storm Norton at swing tackle. Might add some players through the draft, but the guys from last year are back.

But TE in the Rams-style offense is more of a big slot anyway. 15 hours ago, FrantikRam said: Man don't do this...I think most people will have the Falcons winning the division (I definitely will be), and yes they have offensive talent - but top 10 would be awesome for this team and something more realistic I do think it'll be at least a top 10 offense scoring 25-27 PPG. But it could break out and be better if Cousins is healthy and they find a rhythm earlier rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had Higbee who is a balanced blocker/receiver at TE and, if not for injuries, would have been on the field 95% of the time in the McVay era. A top ten offense would be an accomplishment but I do see that for the Falcons too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave up a promising young WR in Moore to get him. Obviously Kyler is a better QB than Ridder... I just find it odd that they were willing to give up Moore to get him.

Yeah, I'm seeing him as a WR4 and depth that was much needed in the WR room. I have no qualms about that either. WE needed WRs. Before yesterday we had just Mooney and London in the WR room. Adding Moore and re-signing Hodge gives us 4/6 that we need. McCloud is a WR5/ST guy. So still need another WR for the room at minimum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
