mr bad coach.
Maybe we can sucker them into a 2nd or 3rd for Fields in the offseason.
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.
Knowing Poles we’d somehow GIVE a 2nd in that trade
I’m so sick of both of these people. The NFC South should be relegated.
I guess they’re hoping to lose more games?
Tbf they’re 0-3 with Heinicke
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!
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.
Hope this poverty franchise never prospers
thanks bitch
Wtf did we do to you
Hey, bird bro, WTF?
There are only so many times you can re-arrange chairs on the titanic
Arthur Smith masterclass
There are people in the national media who think this guy is a great coach. I don’t see it at all.
As president of his fan club, what he say fuck me for?
How many of those media members work at companies sponsored by FedEx?
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.
DESBIANS REJOICE!!!
OUR KING WILL BRING THIS TEAM TO AN UNINSPIRING PLAYOFF BERTH, AS GOD INTENDED!
Desbians is hilarious lmao
Reminds me of when we had Dezbians and Romosexuals lmao
Falcons with Heinicke: 3 games, 0-2 as starter, 41-74 (55.4%) with 498 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT, 84.2 QBR. 68 rushing yards, 0 fumbles.
Falcons with Ridder: 9 games, 4-4 as starter, 161-236 (65.4%) with 1740 yards, 6 TDs, 6 INTs, 84.1 QBR. 150 rushing yards, 4 TDs, 7 fumbles.
65%? Wuuuut?
The entire league is trending upward. Everybody is a dink dunk machine these days. Most really be completing three passes in a row and still punt on fourth down.
Defenses have largely shifted to a two high look to prevent deep balls. So naturally offenses dink and dunk. That scheme shift is part of the reason points are down this year
A good reason why yards per attempt is a much better efficiency stat than completion percentage; it actually measures output relative to attempts rather than just one binary outcome.
Damn are Ridder’s hands coated in oil before every game
Too much popcorn before the game
Heinicke averaged 249 yards and Ridder averaged 193.
Melly vs Melvin
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
Passer rating not QBR
Gaddddddam that’s a lot of turnovers
What happened in the 3rd game with Heinicke and 9th game with Ridder?
I’m assume they lost?
If you add the turnovers into his total completions, he really gets the ball to someone else nearly every play
RIP Falcons offense (Taylor’s version)
Can’t wait for the Falcons to not draft a QB again and be in this mid off all of next year too!
They will trade for kyler
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
Gonna trade up for MHJ so he can be a decoy to KhaDarel Hodge
It’s mind blowing that Bijan Robinson, Kyle Pitts, and Drake London’s rookie deals will all be wasted 😆
And I’ll do it again
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?
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
