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
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
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?
