Des went 7 for 9 with 1 INT against the Bengals. It appears that the INT may have been on a pass interference non-call. Bengals 13-13 Falcons (Aug 18, 2023) Game Recap - ESPN

@MySportsUpdate: #Falcons HC Arthur Smith reiterated today that the plan is for Desmond Ridder to be their starting quarterback and they expect to see “significant growth out of him.”

There are two different rankings of the 2023 NFL quarterbacks. Des is number 31 and 32 in those rankings.

Heinicke is actually pretty good, Ridder better bring his A game if he wants to keep starting. I also expect them to draft a QB with #8

Speaking of releasing things, the Falcons just let go of Mariota. Looks like Des is QB1 unless they bring in someone.

Netflix is releasing a series this summer called Quarterback featuring "unprecedent access" to Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota. You'd have to think Des gets some air time given his sharing of the QB room with and eventual replacement of Mariota as starting QB in Atlanta.
