. Obviously, Arthur Blank and Terry Fontenot should benefit from this, but who will benefit the most on the field?A server shouldn’t benefit much from a quarterback change, right? In the end, Bijan Robinson had no choice but to take the ball from Desmond Ridder and do the rest. Wrong. Ridder was off target more than he should have been, especially in the red zone. Remember that game?Pitts passed 1,000 yards his rookie year en route to multiple league and franchise records and a Pro Bowl bid.
But inconsistent quarterbacking and a knee injury made some forget just how special a unicorn could be. Pitts led the league in off-target rate, which shows how bad he was.All DefenseRidder threw 12 interceptions and lost seven fumbles, tied for fifth among all quarterbacks with 19. turnovers in 2023, but he started just 13 games and led the league in red zone turnovers. The Falcons lost several games directly because of their mistakes in the red zone.No one put the Falcons defense in a worse position than Desmond Ridder. Jessie Bates, Kaden Ellis, A.J. Terrell, David Onyemata, Grady Jarrett and the rest of the backfield have to be happy to have a quarterback who can run the football..
