    In games that Ridder plays from start to finish the Falcons are 5-3. Some people claim the Falcons win despite Ridder but that logic doesn’t hold as when he didn’t start the Falcons lost.

    In total, games Ridder has started and finished the Falcons are 7-5. Ridder will truly have played an entire season after four more games.

    If you compare first year QB wins/losses and metrics such as TD/INT ratio, Ridder has played better than some of the all time greats did their first season.

      I don’t think I’ve ever been annoyed with our fanbase as much as this season with the constant dunking on Ridder when he’s a 3rd round pick who’s gonna take time to develop if he develops into anything. Actively cheering against him when he makes good plays in games and writing him off weeks ago despite flashes and coming through in multiple clutch situations at end of games.

      I don’t know if he’ll ever become our franchise QB but it’s almost as annoying as the Ryan hate over the years.

        I’d say that he’s arguably playing at least as well as first round picks like Mac Jones or Kenny Pickett. I’m not convinced that he’s going to be a good starter, but he’s not completely trash either.

          Kenny Pickett and Mac Jones are completely trash and so is Ridder. 11 touchdowns to 14 turnovers.

        People having no patience at all for a young 3rd round QB to develop is pretty frustrating. Ironically I’m pretty sure people would have a lot more patience with him if he had been drafted in the first round.

          He hasn’t shown any reason to believe in him. He’s been terrible all season, if he was drafted in the first round people would have declared him a complete bust by now. He isn’t developing.
