Atlanta Falcons: 4 things we have learned early in training camp
2. Atlanta Falcons starting QB Desmond Ridder had his early bumps—but do not worry for a second
Overreactions anyone?! We know the NFL is the hotbed for overreactions, especially during training camp.
Those who doubt Desmond Ridder are grasping onto early reports out of Atlanta Falcons training camp. Ridder had some tough passes which included a couple of interceptions.
Desmond Ridder was up-and-down on Day 1. I saw some nice, crisp short and intermediate passes. Also saw a few overthrows and then, of course, the two interceptions.

It's literally the first day for a lot of these vets on the field with Ridder this offseason. Relax. #Falcons
I remember saying this exact thing one year ago; who cares? Sometimes practice is about testing yourself and pushing the limits. He could be making decisions that he wouldn't make on Sundays. There are just so many reasons as to why he struggled at times.
