The Falcons were blessed with elite play at the quarterback position for over a decade with Matt Ryan under center. And while Ryan’s replacement, Marcus Mariota, helped the team temporarily lead the NFC South, things may have hit a breaking point after Atlanta’s 25-15 loss to Carolina in Week 10.
With the team now sitting at 4-6, fans are officially ready to give rookie QB Desmond Ridder a look. Here’s how Falcons Twitter reacted to Thursday night’s ugly loss to the Panthers.

This is the stupidest division in football

Bryce Young would drop so many passes in the bucket for Kyle Pitts and Drake London

I am ready to see Desmond.

I’m done with Mariota. This is just embarrassing. You drafted Ridder in the third round, let us see how he looks before the next draft.

Hopefully that's the last we've seen of mariota in a falcons uniform

No way Mariota is still the QB after a play like that. #DirtyBirds

I want Mariota to succeed! I know he's a good dude! But this is the player he is, and it's past time to see what the Falcons have in Ridder.

What in the world is Mariota doing tonight?

#Falcons LT Jake Matthews traveled with the team to Carolina, found out his wife went into labor this morning, turned back & returned to Atlanta for the birth of their first child, and just made it back to Carolina for tonight’s game. 🍼 🏈

This game needs to be over already. This has been the worst effort I’ve seen from the Falcons all season
