I guess I can get my Kyle Pitts frustration out early this week...

[polecatt 474]

Desmond Ridder is awful!

It's amazing an NFL team starts him with a straight face every week

[BeachGuy23 642]

You need ESPN+ to watch the game?

[polecatt 474]

Seriously!

How do they keep putting Ridder out there each week?

He's awful!

The one time he targets Kyle Pitts and it's a pick 6

The NFL needs to investigate why Ridder still plays.

This is obvious tanking.

How could they say Heinicke is not a better option after Ridders performances?

 

[Chickie 74]

Taylor Heinicke time across the pond?

C Kirk was a darn good low stock to buy, with high returns.

Well, they have more wins than the Bears.  At this point, I just wamt the Bears to lose them all so they will clean house.

I think thats a bit extreme.  hes not the first QB to perform poorly in his first season and he wont be the last.

while I'm the first to admit I dont think much of him...and I did notice he actually looks like a QB back there now.  Last year he didnt.   so there is improvement even if its not showing in the stats.   granted that does not mean much... yet.   he looks a little less like Teebow and a little more like a poor mans Jaylan Hurts (before he became good)

hes played in 8 games so far in his career.    half a season.   There is plenty of time for him to turn it around.

Well, as a Pitts owner, he needs to be on the bench.  As for the Bears, GM and Coaches are incompetent, but we have to wait another year to see if the 25 new players this year helps.  I just am not sure I want to trust this group with next years draft either.

the coach would counter that the best way to learn is by playing on game day.

I dont think the coach cares about your fantasy team.

Right.

[gridiron whirlwinds 9]

My gut feeling tells me that Ridder won't make it all year as the starter and next year the Falcons will have a new QB.

Especially if they get the #1 pick and take a new QB. Get a proven QB guy in there and an offensive thinking head coach.
