    Maybe we can sucker them into a 2nd or 3rd for Fields in the offseason.

    If Cousins leaves Minnesota the Falcons need to make a big offer to get him.

    A good QB would completely change the trajectory of their team.

      There are people in the national media who think this guy is a great coach. I don’t see it at all.

        AS did a pretty good job as an OC for the Titans. Most fans here still like him.

        But there’s a long list of good coordinators that turned out to be bad head coaches. Looks like Arthur’s going to wind up on that list.

      Honestly, if Arthur Smith is making the pick I hope they don’t. The dude wanted to give three firsts to Deshaun Watson (who hadn’t played in like two years at this point) and settled for Ridder in the 3rd.

      We’d probably be better off asking him to rank the upcoming top QB prospects and then taking whoever he ranked last.

      They need to draft another explosive weapon to be a decoy so things really open up for Jonu Smith

      It’s mind blowing that Bijan Robinson, Kyle Pitts, and Drake London’s rookie deals will all be wasted 😆

    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

      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 Heinicke: 24

      Ridder turnovers: 12 in nine games

      Heineke turnovers: 1 in three games

      How is Ridder the better option?

      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
