C Ridley a bust?

[conner01]

I was not a Ridley fan.

With that said it's way to early.

Ridley was a 2nd or 3rd rounder for me but his college hype got him in the 1st.


This is why myself and many others liked the 2nd & 3rd round WR's better.

Exactly
I thought the 2nd and 3rd was where the talent was myself
I wasn’t a Ridley fan at all but I really don’t see why people want to throw around “bust” for any rookie in his first year, let alone his first game when he’s not even gonna get many targets
I also feel the same about judging someone a star after a season

Ask Jalen Ramsey. Looks like he was right on the money about Ryan.

ok right its extreme sarcasm but. 2targets o catches....im guessing Gallup will be just as good hahahaha the best WR in the draft couldn’t help with Julio and Sanu attracting all that attention and a great qb. Nothing in the red zone. Why hes was projected as the best in the draft...if this was us he be getting flack hmm

I was not for taking any WRs in the 1st round, but honest question.....
is this a joke?

Ryan made some poor decisions at critical moments.

But his coach did as well.

It's been one game. One.

Setting aside whether Ryan is "great", their game plan was trash and he's their fourth option. Only called 17 running plays the entire game, despite it being close.

Replacing Shanahan with Sarkisian has been a huge blunder, and why they kept him on I'll never know.

 

[Aven8]

I don't even know what number he was as I didn't see him all night. It didn't matter though....Ryan was looking for Julio and that's all last night. Which in reality I can't blame him.

They're redzone offense looks like ours. Throw it up to Julio (or Dez) and hope.

come on now we all know every cowboy has been a bust at least thats what ive been hearing the last 30 years from cowboy fans

 

[Hennessy_King]

I wasn't a Ridley fan at all leading up to the draft. I would like to thank the falcons for proving me right for 1 week.

that was my point I was being Facetious but thought it would lighten the mood.. I predict Gallup will at least have one catch ) a steal in the draft LOL

Hopefully, we'll see a different approach now. It's not like we've invested heavily in an offensive line and running back, or anything.

you are in small group here, everyones bust if they arent balling by game 2 in the Zone LOL

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Goodness......he’s a rookie and his first game. Far too premature to say such things. He’s also the 3rd option for now.

 

[jrumann59]

eating dinner last night saw thing flash on ESPN, the WR god Jones was targeted 18 times last year in Redzone and had only had 1 catch...

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Yeah ours is not nearly that bad. We at least run it with Dak or Zeke. Falcons red zone offense is ridiculously bad and easy to defend.

 

[GMO415]

Sark was probably too drunk to game plan Ridley properly

 

[Fletch]

Too early to call him a bust.

That being said, I felt like the guy we are playing Sunday, DJ Moore was a better prospect than Ridley.

We shall see over time.

I like my guy, Gallup!

lol they better. Dez isn't out there anymore.
