Peach Bowl featuring potential 2nd tier QB Desmond Ridder


Mother Grabber

Recommended Posts

#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.

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
