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 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
