3 things we learned about Desmond Ridder in his second start

3) Desmond Ridder’s confidence might just be his best trait

While it is still early, one thing that has been clear is that Desmond Ridder fully believes that he should be in the NFL. His confidence is obvious when you watch him.

In his first start, he made some bad decisions but he clearly forgot about it quickly because his style of play never changed. The same thing happened against the Ravens, although, he did do a better job not throwing reckless passes.

He just never seemed to be disturbed by a bad pass or a bad play. He just got right back up and went straight to the huddle. There is just something about him that is different and you can even sense it when watching him on TV.

All I will say is that if Ridder doesn’t end up being the Falcons’ franchise quarterback, it will not be because of a lack of confidence. Which, ironically, is why I personally think he will end up being the franchise quarterback.
