FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- He had four starts, and the question remains: Is that enough of a sample to evaluate the potential future of quarterback Desmond Ridder?
Yes, there were weeks upon weeks of practice to look at, too. There was development unseen by anyone except those who watched practice, but still, is that enough? In what Ridder did in those four games for the Atlanta Falcons, was there any type of full answer to whether he can be the starting quarterback in 2023 and beyond for the Falcons, or someone who ends up as a stopgap?
