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

[football karma]

I am lukewarm on Hollywood but at the right price he makes some sense.

given the current Card WRs under contract are: Greg Dortch, Michael Wilson and Zach Pascal...

 

[Minski]

No more pew pew pew?

The pew pew pew seemed like it shot him down.

ugly

 

[outcent13]

Yeah I think you have to bring in at least one vet. MHJ is gonna be great but we need to add another proven body. Brown, Samuels, Williams(injured last year but solid production) would all make sense.

Is that Mike Williams? If so, that dude is injured every single year.

 

[Chopper0080]

Now I gotta backtrack all the trash I talked about Ridder all season long, ugh.

As a backup I love it. He's experienced and young, can fill in for a game or 2 and be competent.

He still isn't good, but he is more valuable on the roster than Moore is.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I feel like this is the trade to honor anyone who ever posted "why didn't they get something for him." Getting anything for Rondale Moore is cooking.

Well...this is the same group that couldn't get something for DHop so maybe they learned their lesson.

 

[outcent13]

Outside of last year and his rookie year he’s played in a majority of games. Although that doesn’t mean he played a lot in those games. Anyway, could be a cheap bounce back guy on a one year deal.

 

[Chopper0080]

I wasn't certain Rondale would make the team after the draft. I fully expect two receivers with how deep this class is.

It is looking that way.

other than Hollywood -- there are some complimentary or stop gap pieces out there

Josh Reynolds
Tyler Boyd

Michael Thomas

it gets thin really fast

That is the hope.

The good news is the draft is so deep at WR, you don't really have to worry about someone jumping you to get one.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

I’m betting there is a spike in Purdue highlight views going on right now.

Since he doesn't have any NFL highlights that makes sense.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

given the current Card WRs under contract are: Greg Dortch, Michael Wilson and Zach Pascal...

So a tackle it number four in a guard at 27 are incoming.

 

[Shane]

Since he doesn't have any NFL highlights that makes sense.

That’s def not accurate… he’s actually got some good plays on tape. I’m not sad he is gone but I wish him well in ATL.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

You must have seen something in Tune that I missed, because he showed absolutely nothing to me. I want him gone.

That's how I always felt. I never saw the moxie others saw.

 

[kerouac9]

Clayton Tune is five months older than Desmond Ridder.

 

[bankybruce]

Had a feeling Moore was gone with the acquisition of DeeJay. Even mentioned it in another thread and got some thumbs down.

The WR just got taller by default and that makes me happy and we got a seasoned back up.

 

[HammerCards]

A good vet backup runs you 3-6m these days. Great value here for a guy who is a poor man’s Dortch.

 

[Shane]

Clayton Tune is five months older than Desmond Ridder.

So does this mean that Atlanta is not serious about their season? Since they traded away what seems to be a perfectly suited BU QB who is cost efficient for next two years?

 

[dreamcastrocks]

That run from the RB position against Dallas certainly qualifies.

I think it is a clear signal they are drafting a new QB early.

 

[Shane]

That run from the RB position against Dallas certainly qualifies.

And the long 40-45 yard TD he had in a game where the defender was pulling his undershirt from behind he fought through it and wouldn't go down.

Right? You can certainly say that he didn't live up to expectation, but to say he had no highlights is patently false.

I also think there was a beautiful 40 yard over the shoulder bomb from Kyler last season as well that was a TD.
