#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.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Icege · Posted

      "If only Bryce were <height>", he'd <insert stupid thing here>" was the bit and in direct response to multiple posters ridiculously blaming Bryce (and only Bryce) for the punt returns vs. New England. :3 I understand that folks desire balance, hence the "Bryce stans vs. Bryce haters" narrative but it's abundantly clear that the only people going into threads just to talk about Bryce are the haters. Meanwhile, daring to disagree that Bryce was completely at fault for something that happened on special teams gets the "stan" label. Shoot, I'm sure folks lump me in as a Bryce stan (Brycen stan? Absolutely. Bryce stan? Nah) just because I have the audacity to look at what the rest of the team is and isn't doing. 😛

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ Walker is the only QB in the Tepper era the Panthers managed to find wins with.  Only QB w/ a winning record.    PJ had success in pro ball before the Panthers.  He he had NFL tools.    He just is consistent and unreliable.  PJ Walker is what you call a bad/poor man's gunslinger.  He can provide highs and lows both virtually guaranteed.  He is NFL depth.  Bryce Young hasn't proven to improve a teams chances of winning better than the PJ Walker tier of QBing. PJ Walker can do things Bryce Young can't......and that a problem

      There isn’t but the thing is the team/system/staff around the QB ultimately dictates how successful that QB can be. You have Baker getting released midseason here vs playing like a MVP on another team. Darnold on the Jets/Panthers vs Vikings/Seahawks. Geno Smith on the Jets vs the Seahawks vs the Raiders. Mac Jones is looking as good as Purdy on the 49ers. You have to build a roster, culture, and system for these guys.  Obviously the QB has to be the leader and help elevate the team, but we are seeing what moving a “bad” QB to a stable franchise looks like. Daniel Jones might be doing the same but it’s too early to tell.
