Falcons Twitter reacts to Desmond Ridder being named starter

The Atlanta Falcons haven’t officially declared a starting quarterback, but it was reported on Sunday that the team plans to start Desmond Ridder for the final seven games of the season.

Ridder started the first eight games before the Falcons benched him for veteran Taylor Heinicke in the second half against the Titans. Heinicke started the next two games but was injured late in last Sunday’s loss to the Cardinals.

Atlanta is 4-6 at the bye week, but the team is still very much alive in the NFC South. Here’s how Falcons fans on Twitter reacted to the latest QB change.
