Desmond Ridder, Arthur Smith facing well-deserved scrutiny after an ugly Falcons loss

When Matt Ryan waved to the appreciative Atlanta crowd from the broadcast booth, it was a reminder of a time when the Falcons didn’t have any concerns at quarterback.
When Matt Ryan waved to the appreciative Atlanta crowd from the broadcast booth, it was a reminder of a time when the Falcons didn’t have any concerns at quarterback. That’s no longer where things stand. A half-dozen games into what is supposed to be his first full year as the No. 1 quarterback, Desmond Ridder hardly looks like the guy who will lead the Falcons to a brighter future. Another mistake-filled performance by Ridder left Atlanta at 3-3. It also earned coach Arthur Smith a healthy dose of second-guessing for the haphazard way he ran things on the sideline.
