Desmond Ridder just signed for the packers and might play this weekend. True definition of a guy I want to see succeed, just never in a falcons uniform again

  2. I also really want to see Ridder do well, I always really liked the guy, he just wasn’t very good.

  3. Falcons could have drafted Willis that year, but we got Ridder instead… Will be interesting to see if Falcons go after Willis in the offseason.

  5. There were a few weeks there when I was a real believer in him. Obviously didn’t pan out but I wish him nothing but the best. Shoot, maybe he will improve and come back and win us that Super Bowl he promised us.

  9. Pretty terrible decision maker on the field but man it’d be nice to see him succeed. Really hit me in the feels when he was talking about his kid and playing for another team.

  14. To this day Ridder is my favorite player that didn’t work

    Supremely athletic (one of the highest QB RAS scores ever) and had football IQ but just couldn’t make it happen on the field

    He wasn’t good but I also don’t think Arthur smith helped him out, but we’ll always have the Green Bag and Houston games

  15. I’ll always root for Ridder.
    Character wise he’s easy to like and he does have talent.

    Just got to put it all together.

  16. I live a few miles away from the Falcons HQ. Ridder bought a modest house (for an NFL player) about a mile from me, and neighbors say he was very down to earth. No matter what happens in the league, I don’t think he’ll be the “homeless former NFL player” story.

  17. The weird subset of people who were actively rooting against him last year was just weird.

    He didn’t actively DO anything to the team besides just, unfortunately, not succeeding as a starting QB. He was personally my QB1 that draft but none of that is on him, he just didn’t have the goods. Hoping he finds his footing as a QB2.
