Desmond Ridder News
Desmond Ridder future uncertain · Feb 2, 2023
There's no indication, either way, if the Falcons see sophomore Desmond Ridder as a potential starter in 2023
Apparently, no one "inside the building" is talking about Ridder or the opportunity to address the position via the draft. While some times prefer to put up smoke screens, others just go quiet as is the case with the Falcons. It's still early and with the Combine taking place later this month, there's a possibility more will emerge at that time. Ridder finished under-center in the team's final four games, producing a 63.5% completion percentage, throwing for 708 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. With added mobility, Ridder does possess an intriguing skillset and it's possible he could grow into the starting role with another year of experience but, at the same time, the team possesses the 8th-overall selection in the 2023 NFL Draft and should have options if deemed necessary. Ridder is found as DLF's QB27 and this ranking hangs in the balance as the offseason plays out. A highly drafted rookie or the acquisition of a top free agent would send Ridder's dynasty stock off a cliff.
Desmond Ridder unimpressive · Dec 24, 2022
Falcons rookie quarterback Desmond Ridder completed 22-of-33 passes for 218 scoreless yards in Atlanta's loss to Baltimore.
Ridder didn't turn the ball over, which is obviously a positive. Still, the Falcons have been really conservative with him in his two starts and it's hard to see what they have in him at this point. With two more games to go, Ridder is going to need to show something to ensure he's the quarterback of the future in Atlanta. Ridder checks in as our dynasty QB28.
Desmond Ridder brutal in debut · Dec 18, 2022
Desmond Ridder completed 13-of-26 passes for 97 yards and added another 38 yards rushing.
The awful 3.7 yards per completion don't even show the whole story. There should have been two balls intercepted by the Saints in this one. Rushing upside was what the rookie was supposed to bring but only managed 38 yards (18 on the last play of the game). The Falcons kept the reigns in tight on the former Bearcat. Unless they open things up and put more faith in him, you cannot trust him, especially down the playoff stretch. Ranked as the QB27 at DLF, the future is still in question as many experts have mocked a quarterback to the Falcons in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft.
Desmond Ridder to start · Dec 8, 2022
The Falcons have benched Marcus Mariota and will start Desmond Ridder moving forward.
The Falcons took their bye week to re-evaluate their options and have decided to see what they have in Ridder moving forward. Mariota has proven to be serviceable this season with 2,200 passing yards, 15 touchdowns and just nine interceptions. However, there really does seem to be a ceiling in regards to his value to a team. This will be a pivotal time for Ridder, who showed well in the preseason. Expect Ridder's ranking of QB31 to rise should he prove to be a long-term option in Atlanta.
