Desmond Ridder - update - signed by the Raiders off of our practice squad

[Totally_Red]

Could this mean Hollywood is back on a one year deal, not that Rondale is in the same area code as a #2 receiver?

 

[Shane]

We’re moving the needle guys…..

 

[football karma]

Ridder is basically a younger Josh Dobbs

and by this I mean:

a string of highly athletic and effective QB play followed by a WTH?!?!? interception

i guess most backups do this to some degree, but the highs are very high and the lows make you question your fandom

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Light the Dortch!!!

Also, thanks for the memory, Clayton!

Is Tune gone or #3 or practice squad? They sure liked to use Tune on short and goal situations because he can actually move the pile and score a TD.

 

[CardsFan88]

A capable backup QB who can spot start for a guy who has disappointed and in the last year of his contract.

I wonder if this move indicates a WR signing of some sort?

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Wow. A super rare player trade that again works out in the Cards favor.

It's almost like the league feels sorry for us when it comes to trading.

Don’t most teams carry 3?

Gone IMO. We won't carry 3 QBs this year.

Draft

Yes, but we now have Kyler and a quality backup. We can find a 3rd on the street if we need to.

Why not?

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Why not?

Cause I don't think we will?

I think he'll go to the PS. Teams like to keep a 3rd around if one gets hurt, and they have the emergency 3rd QB rule now too.

 

[Totally_Red]

Pellisero says multiple teams were talking to Atlanta about Ridder.

 

[Dback Jon]

Great trade.


Another one of Keim's gadget picks gone.

Fair enough lol

probably a mix of both (there are some rule changes proposed on the 3rd qb able to be active on game days)

I can see that. Practice squad or cut are the options. I don't think we keep 3 QB opening day.

 

[LA Redbird]

Very smart move.

If that happens, I might change my Tune.

 

[jbjarko]

Holy hell Monti.

 

[BritCard]

Saves us $500k on the cap too. Every penny counts.

 

[BritCard]

I like this trade for both sides actually. Rondale will be a true #3 there, gives Dortch more time here, upgrades our QB2. Everyone wins.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

I graded Day 1 as a C. Solid if not spectacular signings. The most recent signings (Jonah) and this trade has firmly moved my sliding scale to a solid B.

I forget which team is pushing for it, but there's a rule change being talked about that would make the 3rd QB(Ps guy) eligible to play on Sundays in an emergency.
Agree Tune with be PS QB.

So sad we're going to miss Rondale's break out year so many have been pimpimg the last couple of off seasons. He was a trash pick from the get go.
