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

[Chris_Sanders]

That is the hope.

They waited too long last year. He should have been offered out at the start of Free Agency.

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?

They have Taylor Heinicke, who was.the backup to Desmond last year.

Do you think Kirk out a condition on signing with ATL that they had to ditch Ridder?

 

[Totally_Red]

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.

I'm fairly certain that if you have a minute you can find every Rondale Moore NFL highlight on the Falcons social media feed and/or website.

A WR impact on the field isn't just receptions and TDs though. Moore is replaceable, absolutely, but he did little things like blocking and misdirection with gadget plays. So, I do understand why some are confused given the current WR room. We have to sign somebody and draft at least 2 WRs now.

Season. Since Dortch is currently the #2, I'm assuming they a joking about a breakout year.

Availability is the best ability, sir.

What is the point of this post? Honestly: What was the ideal response you were hoping to get to this?

This exactly. Heinicke took Ridder's job last season, plus they have a new head coach and offensive playcaller.

He didn't miss a game last season.

Really? I did not know that.

It was an honest question? I wanted your thoughts. Since you said that our season just got interesting after the acquisition which showed the team was serious now that they acquired a real #2. I was thinking Atlanta was left without one. I completely forgot about Atlanta having Heineke still.

He absolutely is. Moore is JAG and so is Dortch.

#1 Wilson, injury concerns, but potential at being a solid #2 in the NFL.
#2 Dortch, struggles with routes, deep separation and blocking. He is smaller than Kyler
#3 Pascal, who?

That's our WR room right now, so I understand the optics from outside.

Only if they know nothing about Moore. He is useless. I fully expect a 4th or 5th round receiver to be superior.

CBS gives Atlanta an A for this trade and gives the Cards a C+.

And that should mean.........?

I won't miss Moore at all.

Except he's not. He is an excellent blocker and many other small things.

I can't believe a WR had a 1.4 yards depth of target for the season.

 

[ajcardfan]

And that should mean.........?

Just sharing an opinion I personally don't agree with. Interesting how non-Cards fans view the trade.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

I can't believe a WR had a 1.4 yards depth of target for the season.

... and we thought the problem was Kliff. It clearly wasn't.

 

[kerouac9]

I can't believe a WR had a 1.4 yards depth of target for the season.

His total yards before catch that season was -3. Just wild times.
