Desmond Ridder Named Atlanta Falcons Starting Quarterback and New Era Finally Begins!

Locked On Falcons - Daily Podcast On The Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons have finally made the change to Desmond Ridder at quarterback according to various reports. Aaron Freeman discusses how we got here, looking back at the struggles and lack of progress of the passing game under veteran starter Marcus Mariota. Aaron breaks down why the extended waiting period on Ridder was all part of the Falcons' long-term plans for him and how that means he's in their plans beyond this season. Finally, he looks at the reasons why he's optimistic that Ridder can upgrade the Falcons' passing attack over the final month of the season and get their playoff hopes off life support.
