mr bad coach.
I wonder how close were the Falcons to drafting Howell, was Purdy even on their board? How often do teams draft 2 QBs in one draft?
All I recall about the QBs in that draft was that everyone was low on Ridder. Most analysts fell out of love with him after his second year in college. While many were high on Howell and expected him to go higher than what he did. Have no idea what most people thought about Purdy.
SNIP SNAP SNIP SNAP!
What is this team doing
Arthur Smith is so fired
What’s Mohammed Sanu doing these days?
Maybe we can sucker them into a 2nd or 3rd for Fields in the offseason.
Knowing Poles we’d somehow GIVE a 2nd in that trade
Fields ain’t getting close to a 2nd lol. Maybe a 5th
Man we seen Trey Lance go for a 4th. Feel however you want about fields he has shown infinitely more potential than Trey Lance ever ahas, high school, college, and nfl.
Arthur Smith is trying to outdo the Patriots for most dysfunctional QB room of the season
Mac Jones to the Falcons next year you say
Red zone fumbles are back on the menu, boys!
Honestly this makes sense. The calls to go to Heinicke were a classic example of the backup QB always being the most popular guy in town, he was really equally awful. Ridder’s not gonna make your chances of winning any worse, he’s had the best game a Falcons QB had this season by far, he’s a better runner, and you might as well see what you have in him before next season
Offensive points per game under Ridder: 16
Offensive points per game under Heinicke: 24
Ridder turnovers: 12 in nine games
Heineke turnovers: 1 in three games
How is Ridder the better option?
he was equally awful
No the fuck he was not lmao this isn’t true regardless of whether you’re box score watching or actually watching the games.
Idk man I watched the games and even if Heinicke was slightly better he wasn’t moving the needle enough to justify playing him over someone that is much younger and can still develop.
Offensive points per game under ridder: 16
Offensive points per game under heineke: 24
Ridder turnovers: 8 in 7 games
Heineke turnovers: 1 in 3 games
Just because the Falcons lost didnt mean it was because of him.
Heinecke wasn’t the reason we scored those points though. 7 of them were actually when ridder came in
Ah the Mike Singletary 2010 approach
No way this guy keeps the job (smith the coach I mean)
Also ridder tho
Just saw Nate Tice rise from his knees at a Walmart.
Should have never benched him in the first place
Bring back mohamed sanu
