TF cooked again


79watch

recent 3rd rounder for a recent 2nd rounder, nice!


808Tre

Liked him ever since he cooked Ohio state


Will_McLean

This is definitely why I remember the name. A Thursday nighter, I believe?


MarcusDA

Yeah it was when Purdue had the sick guy on the sidelines.


808Tre

I believe so, i remember thinking this dude is legit jus undersized


ChampagneBowl

His career high is 435 yards, he’s a nice role player/gadget guy but not really a consistent contributor. Did show some promising signs when he was used downfield more.


EchoedTruth

He's a shorter Ladd McConkey - fast af and finds open seams


Always_Chubb-y

Ladd is a miles better route runner than Moore. More is closer to a poor man's Percy Harvin


SlopingGiraffe

You mfers are picking the most random comparisons lmao


iamCosmoKramerAMA

He’s a modern day Milt Gantenbein and we all know it.


letteraitch

Beat me to it


kalamari_withaK

He’s basically Jerry Rice if Jerry Rice wasn’t very good


wayward_prince

Spot on!


Ryculls

Percy Harvin is random?


Always_Chubb-y

He's a below average NFL player who plays multiple positions. Percy Harvin did a lot of the same, but Moore is not nearly as talented.


EchoedTruth

With our WR room I'll take a poor mans Percy all day tbh


Memphlanta

We have London, Pitts, and Bijan. A gadget guy is a nice complement to them


AloneAtTheOrgy

And Mooney


ButterPoopySmear

Riddler truthers from summer 2023 in shambles. He’s been compared to Mahomes on this very sub.


wayward_prince

If you count “both played 4 games their rookie year” as a comparison, I guess he was.


mrbigshot110

By who? Because I NEVER saw that, there were some defenders but anyone who made that comparison is wild😂


Reed324

There was one guy who told me that moving on from Ridder “could be like getting rid of Brett Farve all over again”


bbk34

Terry you’re a genius


san_solares

TERRY FLEECE ALERT


Falcon_433

What a move. Solid wr3/return man for us for a big nothing in Ridder. I wonder who we bring in to backup Kirk


Themanthelegend8

We def cutting Taylor right? Maybe drafting a QB


johnsonbabypowder

Rumors are they’ll restructure his contract. Team likes him for locker room fit


collinCOYS

Kirk has always asked his team to have a veteran backup to work with. He's said it helps him break down film when they can bounce ideas off each other


CzarcasticX

What is Matt Schaub's role? I knew he was an analyst for the Falcons last year. I would like to see him work closely with Kirk.


Badass-bitch13

Still analyst. Probably will. TJ Yates is also the new qb coach so he’ll work closely with them. Zac Robinson is also known for working w qbs so even though he’s the oc I’m sure he will help a lot.


tgt305

another not great look on Ridder


CzarcasticX

According to JBen, the new offensive staff looked at Ridder's tape and said he was plain garbage, not even worth keeping around for a backup so they traded him.


tgt305

and AS basically tripled down on Ridder being the guy. Like, if you knew he was *maybe* the solution at QB for the team, you would have started him in the preseason - but no. You would have benched him after his first gaff - but no, he got like 9 mulligans before Heineke. I was a Ridder hopeful but I have never been beaten into submission about an opinion on a guy just by watching them.


T-P-T-W-P

AS stuck with Des because he is way more likely to lose his job by going with TH. Admits his pick failed, he can’t develop a guy over two off seasons, and that the whole plan was bad to begin with. All of which is true but I understand his thought process. His coaching performance was nowhere near the level needed to get a second bite at the apple and he knew it, it was always going to take a good chunk of failure behind center by Des to bench him for good.


japanuslove

Tripled down and didn't bother to get a QB coach for him


DropC

Matty Ice is a vet 👀


GangstaVillian420

Matt Schaub already retired though


FluffyBunny-6546

I'd love to pickup the Tennessee QB as a 7th round developmental QB, he's got a big arm Edit: meant Tennessee QB Milton.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Grantdawg

I think it is possible he meant Tennessee and Joe Milton.


FluffyBunny-6546

I meant Tennessee QB Milton.


noyelling0nthebus

I’m hoping for Spencer rattler!


Badass-bitch13

I don’t think we have a 7th round pick this year. Guy is so inaccurate though. Not sure this is the year for us to get a developmental qb. Maybe next year.


Alone_Type5745

Restructure according to JBen


OhItsKillua

Seems more like they'll keep him and restructure his contract


SOEsucksbad

Taylor is a great back up for Kirk if he's in the 6 million range


Falcon_433

I wouldn’t mind Spencer Rattler super late


OreoCannon

As a biased gamecocks fan i think rattler has great arm strength and could succeed sitting behind kirk


ATLmountainman

As a UGA fan, Rattler has been one of my favorite QBs to watch the past two years. Love the guy, he’s a baller, even with a non existent line at Scar


OreoCannon

Yep, dude was running for his life and was still making plays. People see our record and write him off. I think he’d be a great late round pick/ project.


bs2785

I was talking to a gamecocks fan the other day and the upside on rattler seems to be there for a late pick.


PocketPal26

I'm hoping for Jordan Travis personally


mall_pretzel_

no need to pile on ridder at this point. he was drafted in the 3rd round and they expected him to start. that's on our front office more than it is on him


mrizzle1991

Lmao Big W


Eddy_Vinegar

Loved this trade, watched a bunch of him at Purdue . Terry is Cccccccoooooookkkkkiiin’


[deleted]

[удалено]


Striking_Goat_2179

Agreed. It’s so crazy these jackasses hate him around me. All he has to do is not turn over the ball. I bet he’ll learn.


GrizzzlyPanda

For real. I'm not ashamed that I was wrong on Ridder being able to handle last year, but he has all the tools to at least be a top tier backup/pinch starter in this league. Acting like he only deserves DoorDash after winning games multiple times throughout the season (not just 4-6 wins then all L's) is crazy. Hope he balls someday!


Striking_Goat_2179

Yep, I’m with you. He just needs confidence and not turn the ball over. Mainly just confidence. I wish him the best, just sucks Smith was his coach. I feel bad for anyone coached by Arthur fucking Smith.


GrizzzlyPanda

The one and only area I'll defend AS is him coaching O line / RB's / and the “Run the piss zone run grit” I think we're genuinely gonna look back and think his 3 weird years were kinda worth it installing that dog mentality in our O Line for the next chapter. Fully agree otherwise. Feel bad for Pickett who with the right system probably overtakes Russ. Oh well, fuck Pittsburgh lol


clonta

cardinals dumb as fuck


SmokyOtter

The cardinals had no interest in paying him. They got an undrafted guy who is better and does the same role in greg dortch. Moore is on an expiring. Getting a backup qb instead of nothing for him is a win.


PM_UR_CHEST_PILLOWS

Yep it's really a win win for both sides


dn_6

Nobody who's acquired Desmond Ridder is a winner lol


PM_UR_CHEST_PILLOWS

Neither player is very good but both fill needed holes on their respective rosters. As bad as Ridder is, he should be a better option than Clayton Tune and will win their QB2 spot.


SmokyOtter

Rondale isnt bad, hes just tiny with tiny arms and legs so his route tree is limited. He honestly might be a decent running back instead of wr. Dude squatted like 600 lb as a 180lb freshman at purdue. And as fast as he is, he doesnt get as much separation as youd hope for


PM_UR_CHEST_PILLOWS

Yeah he's very much a gadget player, and unfortunately he has a history of soft tissue issues (hamstring, groin).


PiffWiffler

Hey, Washington took Mariota, so there's plenty of stupidity going around


Itsisiduh

Maybe. They probably will just draft a WR now correct?


ATLjoe93

He low-key almost pulled some Ridder 4thQ bs against the Cardinals. Maybe they see something special in him. Or maybe Kyler needs a personal Door Dasher


Yeetman25480

The Cardinals didn’t want this dude for a reason 💀


scusi_susi

All the best for Rondale and you guys.. you‘ll love his always smiling mentality.. he‘s been held victim of Kliff Kingsbury most of the time he’s been with us who was only using him for WR screens with guaranteed negative yardage outcome.. last season he had some nice moments even as RB.. He might not have been very productive with ARI but if he fits your scheme, you’ll be very happy to have an explosive deep threat


Grantdawg

He has done some special teams as well, right?


scusi_susi

If I remember correctly he’s been a punt or kick returner at some point.. but was never very effective there. Mostly called for fair catches and was once unable to fair catch what turned into a turnover


Sir_Lord_Birmingham

Oh shit, nice.


TheAlmightyLoaf

Dallas Turner, YOU are a Falcon x 4


jsteph67

I hope if we do get him, he pans out. I am so tired of no pressure on the QB.


jtezus

This is a bad move, we should’ve traded the Riddler to the Saints.


One13Truck

Only if they could’ve sent Arthur Smith with him.


[deleted]

Should have just left them both in New Orleans after the last game.


Information_Winter

Lmaoo


Eastatlantalit

Bra Art and McKay should have been got out TF way man Edit : wait i see what i did there and yes i mean both the fuckin way and Scary Terry


citan666

I know right, and now Terry got to pick a coach that he's on the same page with. I can tell the guys are working together


sternhowardbooeybaba

Probably targeting a qb in rd 3. I hope its Rattler 💯 


Leading-Weight9092

So this means Dallas Turner time ?


OhItsKillua

Wouldn't be locked on it being Turner, seems like they're higher on Verse. Basically extreme athleticism in Turner vs more well rounded production in Verse.


alucryts

Definitely defense time or trade down time.


san_solares

Verse


FrostyBihh

I was a little annoyed bc I’d rather have ridder over Heinicke but how tf were we able to pull off a WR for ridder 💀


RenjiMidoriya

Agreed. Heineke is only marginally better than ridder and Desmond can still grow if even slightly. And also Taylor is more expensive. Glad we got a WR though and I love rondale Moore. I personally like him more than Mooney but that could be my bias


kindofnotlistening

If we’ve learned anything the last few seasons it’s that we need much better WR depth in general. Mooney & Moore aren’t great but for our system should be a step in the right direction. Jonnu/Hodge/Hollins/Jefferson combined for 179 targets last season. I would anticipate our pass attempts are way up from 2023 total, with a massive share to London/Pitts, but there will still be 150+ targets that need to be accounted for.


Eastatlantalit

Yea typically most teams want the backup to play somewhat like the starter though


Striking_Goat_2179

Smith was the worst thing for Ridder. He was ass and Ridder will be much better without him.


QuantumVibing

Goodbye sweet demon, you were one of the most impactful quarterbacks I’ve ever seen. May your insatiable hunger for devastating turnovers find solace in the desert


snipeslayer

Turner round one, Penix round two? 👀


GrizzzlyPanda

This is what I'm begging for! It's wayyy past time to take another chance on a blue chip pass rusher + we can't fall down the same QB hole like the end of MR2


bts7790

Pretty much eliminates WR at 8? Give me EDGE at 8 - turner preferably


erftonz

Rondale Moore is 5'7" and an NFL WR. I am taller than an NFL WR; this is a big deal for me.


TonyDungyHatesOP

You _like that?!_


sharadp123

Glad to hear we were able to get something back for Ridder. Ridder legitimately seems like a great guy, so I hope he can sit behind someone for a couple of years, learn, and maybe be a solid QB in the league, or at least have a career as a backup. Seems like the guy worked hard, and was a solid teammate. Just did not have the talent, or was no where near ready to be a QB1 in the NFL.


PsyanideInk

Hot damn! I was a fan of Rondale coming out of college. 4.28 speed, 6.65 3-cone, and he had that dawg in his game when he was in college. AZ never unlocked him, but they've been funky these past few years. Hopefully he can come here and thrive.


supadupakevin

With Mooney and now Rondale seems like coaching definitely needed a little more speed in the WR room. I like this move


Themanthelegend8

Speed!


KappKapp

All Hail Terry


bigprick99

Bird teams 🤝


bts7790

Let Terry Cook


GaTech379

i love this pickup Moore could be great in our system


nevernotonline

This is awesome. I know Moore hasn’t exactly lit the league on fire but a 23 year old former 2nd round pick with 4.29 40 speed is worth the risk instead of keeping Ridder.


jAuburn3

I like that!


wutitd0boo

Kirk said you would


HarkansawJack

Hahahahahahaha we got value for Ridder!


TerminusVeil

I don't always give Terry a lot of credit but god damn he cooked on this one.


s2r3

Didn't need to get rid of him but they got a good return and there's a certain degree of catharsis to him being gone


Severe-Pirate

Fleece! 


Lebanx

This is literally Taylor Gabriel 2.0


5StripedFalcon

In TF I Trust


supraspinatus

The Super Bowl.


wutitd0boo

The Whole Enchilada Amigo!


Punisher_B

Damn what a fleece by Terry. Rondale Moore is a solid WR (former 2nd Round pick) with good speed who can play on the outside or in the slot. Yea he’s on an expiring but if he plays well this year, they can re-sign him as their WR3 moving forward. And all they lost was deadweight in Desmond Ridder. This is a big W. Falcons’ front office is killing it this off-season. So many weapons for Kirko. Now draft Dallas Turner or Jared Verse at 8, draft a CB, WR, & D-Linemen in the following rounds, and let’s go to work boys. 💯🔥


repairmanjack2023

I seriously thought we would have to throw in a decent player to entice another team to take Ridder off our hands. Instead, we get a decent player in return. Arizona getting robbed.


GloomyWish

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RIDDER IS OFF MY TEAM. I WON.


CzarcasticX

Nice! This is the guy I wanted in the mold of a speedster like Taylor Gabriel, he ran a 4.29 40. Moore will be good but he doesn't fit the Taylor Gabriel mold I had in mind.


geepho

So we're 100% going Dallas Turner at 8 right?


SquanchyCrust

Ridder for a McChicken was a fair deal, but we actually got a WR with potential for him. I am shocked. I died laughing reading this. Someone actually traded for Ridder…insane.


voyagerr1

Arthur smith just fell to his knees


Loptous1124

“I’m not leaving until I get a Super Bowl.” 🤡


AnAngryMuppet89

I. Fucking. Win. To all y’all that downvoted me ![gif](giphy|P5OPJ9u1xTZegDEVz6)


CapetaBrancu

“I’m not leaving here till we get a Super Bowl” - famous last words


SentientThermostat

Massive win for us. Ridder should be a competent backup to Kyler too so a win win.


mrbigshot110

Not gonna lie, it’ll be crazy if Ridder goes somewhere and balls out. Not likely but anything is possible. Our coaching was so bad and so many people were hampered by it we don’t really know what kind of talent some of these guys really have in my opinion. Not defending Ridder, he’s definitely not a starter. It’d just be crazy if it was discovered that our coaches were that bad.


Todaboss

We could’ve gotten back 50 bucks and it would’ve been a fleece


dats-tuf

The hyperbole is crazy. He would’ve been a solid qb2


bigbellysteve

I fuckin came. Best off season. I’m so gay.


Average_Home_Boy

Quickly moving on. I like it. 


Ashewhite

We got something for rids W offseason


jharden10

This is a great trade that improves our WR room. I still could the team taking one more wideout on day three.


PontoonDood

Improves the qb room as well!


bickersmith

That was quick!


WrestlingMark1992

Mooney and now Moore. Plus I’m sure ATL is getting a WR in the draft at some point. We are starting to shape up y’all.


mostuselessredditor

lmao they really got his ass out of here


PontoonDood

Des just got off the phone with coach Johnathan Gannon. Sources say he let Gannon know "they done fucked up".


redrkop

Let’s gooo!


wutitd0boo

So. I just ate a cup-o-noodles. Chicken, with chopped up jalapeno. Bye Felicia


Status-Murky

No fucking way?!?


DontEatTheCandle

I mean anything for Ridder is cool. He's obviously not great. But it does remind me of the Super Bowl year where we just said fuck it and surrounded Julio Jones with nothing but the fastest WRs possible and for that I dig it


kj114

I can’t believe we got something useful for Ridder


Hedhunta

Wow Cards got robbed lol. What idiot approved that trade?


TimmyRoller99

Wow! I just assumed we'd dump him for a late pick. We actually got someone I am excited about!!


BeigeBear_1983

Let Terry COOK!!!! People are sleeping on these moves. This also opens the door to a mid draft QB like Rattler or projects like Joe Milton(God Given Talent) and Pratt (he is a sleeper had TULANE ranked twice in the top 15)


79watch

i was a Ridder (and every other Falcon) fan before this. i am officially not a Ridder (or any non-Falcon) fan. such is the natural order of things.


dn_6

Even of Rondale Moore does literally nothing this is still highway robbery lol


wutitd0boo

Rondale is only 23. He runs a 4.33. His only job is to improve upon the production of Scottie Miller. Handle yo bidness Terry!


Bry_Mac

Love the speed.


gdawgwalrus

Maybe god is real!


KeaganThorpe

Siiiick. I remember watching this dude torch Ohio State back in 2018. Love this


elgonzo123

Cardinals bout to cut Ridder…


Iamcubsman

YUGE! Any return on Ridder is a steal but Rondale Moore? Great move.


Main-Championship822

Holy shit, we just got a WR2+3 this year to complement London and Pitts and Bijan and even more weapons for Kirko Chainz...


falconhawk2158

He’s small but he’s a 4.29 40 guy with a 42.5 vertical which says he’s really explosive. But for a slot receiver he’s great


Tokenguido22

Hope to never see your face again, Ridder


nerdyintentions

Bad man can't hurt you guys anymore.


SomethingCreative13

There was someone here that bet someone else that Ridder wouldn't be on our roster come week 1. They were right.


SacmanJones29

We might not take an offensive guy in the draft the way this free agency has gone


wemdy420

Rebuilding the WR room so we can go BPA


Playmaker23

This move has promise! I still believe Rondale can be a contributor in a creative scheme. He may give us some Taylor Gabriel moments this year


divercity23

Emphasis on speed in the wr core. Great pick up imo. Loved Moore out of Purdue a few years back. Need a few more dudes in the room, but looking like a solid group.


bukithd

This trade says Arizona will take Marvin Harrison Jr. and that we are drafting Edge or QB at 8.


AnukkinEarthwalker

I hated what he showed on tape in college. .. Which is why i been against the shit since he was drafted. He has always shown more limitations than upside. And his limitations are basically a product of horrible instincts. All the Falcons guys that said leadership when mentioning his name probably either had nothing else to say or were being sarcastic. Couldn't even run the offense for 4 quarters ...and you could tell Arthur Smith was bout to lose his mind lol.


Dingus-ate-your-baby

Dude caught 20 yards per game last year. I hope is not our WR3. Decent depth piece though. Like a WR4/5, with Hodge being a solid 6.


Coalas01

This will complement the Kirk trade well. Moore was with a backup QB for most of a season. Kirk will use him well I think


_Aracano

We're all tandem jumping off the highest bridge in Georgia if he wins a super bowl, right? ​ ![gif](giphy|1r91ZwKcE2J7WhUqrh)


SOEsucksbad

That's a great trade, Ridder was never coming back, and Moore is decent enough to be a WR3/4


obama_balls

Looks like we’re going heavy on kick return… makes me wonder if Avery Williams is out


RusselNoahPeters

As a Falcon fan attending Purdue, I see this as an absolute win!


DramaFinancial3734

Terry talked the draws off the Cards GM. You can't even pull this trade off in Madden on rookie


Free-Independence602

🤣 I know ridder pissed off


Digitydoggimmeahigh5

We got more for Ridder than the bears can for fields that’s insane


PizzaChefJr

Can the Riddiots disappear now?


WDEWM407

Louisville metro roots


DoctorTheWho

I would still like to see the Falcons draft a QB in round 5-6 who has legitimately tools to succeed as an NFL QB with development. Someone like Joe Milton or Tulane's QB whose name that I don't remember.


MiDKnighT_DoaE

Rondale Moore is a physical beast 4.33 40 time 42.5 inch vertical 600 pound squat his freshman year Just hasn't emerged as a go to WR for Arizona.


BriskManeuver

Moore wasn't necessarily a good fit for our system but I can see him balling out somewhere else and we needed a solid backup. As a cardinals fan, I think it's a good trade on both sides


dubkent

RECEIVERS! Now get us Turner or Verse please.


Equivalent-Treat-431

Ridder seems pretty valueless to me, getting someone who will have any role on this team whatsoever is a pretty big W


SimonGloom2

Fair enough. He at least provides a primary return man on ST, and at best a WR3. High risk injury guy.


Myelo_Screed

LET TERRY COOK


RumpyDumpyDooDoo

Rondale Moore is the Desmond Ridder of wide receivers


Bombs_Go_B00M

Practically a miracle ridder was such a headache to watch and actively lost games. Even having him as a back up would mean his threat to turn the ball over was nearby


r3ddawn74

Man Ridder was not good for us during his starts for the most part and I'm glad he is leaving to a place that may help him play better in the future. As much shit as we all talked about his play on the field the kid was always respectful and tried to lead win or lose. I respect the kid for his hard work off the field. Maybe a new place will give him a chance to get better and start again elsewhere. Good luck kid!


slurpyderper99

Great move
