#8 Cincinnati Bearcats (9-0) vs #9 Georgia (7-2)

New Year's Day - Noon ET on ESPN

UGA by 7.5

--

Desmond Ridder

6'4"/215lbs

31-4 in 3 seasons at Cincinnati including 2 bowl game wins.

Looks to be a solid but raw talent. Lance athleticism with Wilson size. Could be an interesting option if we miss on a top tier prospect in the 1st. Just like Lance, we have a staff that can coach him up.

Not a fan. He has the kaepernick throwing motion 

Not trying to steal the focus, but I would not mind (on day 3) drafting Purdy of Iowa State.  He has excellent, calmness in the pocket--quiet feet, accuracy, and he reads the defense better than anyone in college right now.  His arm strength is average at best, however and he is about 6-1.  Quick delivery/release.  He sure sounds like a poor man's Brees.  To bring him in for a backup--or insurance--someone you can trade if your first rounder succeeds or someone who might take the reins should he fail or get injured.  I am just sold on him right now as an option should round 1 fall through -- or if we decide to find a reputable #3 for 2021 and possibly a #2 for 2022. 

The throwing motion thing is not worth it.  The Golden Calf of Bristol, Kaepernick--coaches thought they could change them.  It is nearly impossible--you can tweak it like they did Allen in Buffalo, but not change.

Reminds me of Tony pike for some reason. He’s a legend around here right?

Yes he was a legend because nobody can remember if he was real or not--wasn't he drafted in the Clausen draft?  I was thinking we took 2.  Might be wrong.

I agree with this 100%. I’m big on big hands qbs and quick throwing motions. Luckily for the Bills Josh’s biggest challenge was lower body (clearing his hips), not release. It’s the release and wind up motion that is an uphill battle for change.

Seems a little too much like Teddy. After seeing the defenses figure out Teddy won’t throw deep, I really want a QB that can stretch the field. Imagine Anderson and Moore with a good deep ball being thrown their way.

I'll watch this game! Ritter is intriguing! He's the main reason the Bearcats are undefeated and in the bowl (they're not without him). He'll be squarely in the same conversation as Jones and Trask with a decent showing tonight.

I know I sound like a broken record but this guy meets the criteria Rhule is looking for.  Smart, Fast and Athletic.  I would not be surprised if he shows well that he won't be our 2nd round selection.  Or possibly trade down and take him in the latter portion of the 1st.

I wonder how motivated Georgia is to play this game. They've already had a couple of opt outs.

For Cincinnati, this is their game to prove they should have been in the playoffs. 

I'd be careful about drawing too many conclusions on Rattler from this game. Cincinnati is going to be far more motivated to play.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
