12/27 for 121yards. We scored 1 TD.

He’s not the “problem” but he’s not the answer.

Wanting the bare minimum and “game manager” play from the QB is the most baffling thing ever when I comes to Ridder believers.

There’s no way the team can go into next season without adding true competition at the position.

Ridder has done nothing that would have the FO pass on adding a QB in the draft or by some other means. He’s be responsible for 15 TOs, has more Interceptions than TDs. There’s nothing in his game that give the impression that he’s going to take a massive step and why would the team bet on what they’ve seen this year. I won’t go as far as say he’s trash but the guy ain’t a franchise QB, and if you don’t have that guy on your team, you’d best find one.

A rookie QB may require a trade up, but would also reset the counter on having an affordable QB contract. A vet might cost more money and would only be kicking the QB position down the road.

If anything, we won in spite of Ridder.

In the second half, when we needed to salt the game away took the ball out of his hands and kept it on the ground, that’s a coach that chose to put the ball in the hands of his best players instead of making 9 the lynchpin of the offense and our team got in rhythm when they removed Ridder from the equation. He threw a good ball to Bijan form the the TD, but he’s still the same QB from week 3. Stares down his receivers and terrible decision-making with the ball. He doesn’t hold the ball as much but he’s due for two TOs a game.

Right lol " Next Year".

They need to bring in a QB for a true position battle and not just hand him the job like they did this year. He’s a backup, Falcons need to find a true franchise QB.

The Falcons don’t have much of a choice.

They are giving him a chance to let the front office know they don’t need to draft or sign another QB and be hasn’t done much to prove they shouldn’t. Ridder isn’t a franchise QB but since he has more future potential than Taylor he should play. Play and evaluate your 3rd round pick.
