Not very likely, are you serious? 

I’ve heard different. From someone in far greater know than you or I. Will it happen? I don’t know, but it’s not outside the realm of possibility

You constantly pretending to have inside sources is tiresome.

😂😂😂 Everything is tiresome for you my boy. I even posted my instagram a few days back just for people like you. Wouldn’t have been hard to figure it out. With that said i’m done talking to you. You’re def a “Riddah is da greatest” fan. And i’m cool with that. More power to you.

Despite the fact that I’ve said more or less I think he can be a solid nfl starter,  and that I think a solid nfl starter is what we need.  Which is not ‘the greatest’.  Yes.  I know.

I am curious to see where he ranks on backup QB pay. He's gotta be in the top ten and I'd suspect higher than that.

Mayfield got like 8.5. I'm assuming he's Trask backup. So i'd say he's gotta be top 5.

I'm totally against signing LJ, but to think he's not a winner or couldn't win here in the Atl because he's a running QB with terrible accuracy issues is totally asinine. He's been a league MVP and had completion percentages of 66% 64% 64% in three of his 5 seasons. Plus he won games with his legs extending plays over and over. The dude can ball.

I'm not about breaking the bank and giving up draft capital to acquire him, but let's not throw rocks now that this regime has moved on from him. He's a top 10 QB and will automatically win a team 10 games per yr doing his thing. 

He’s great in regular season when he’s not injured from running so much.
 

He’s not so great in playoffs because the better NFL defenses can force him to throw the ball from the pocket to have any chance at winning. Which in regular season he’s great at winning with his legs, in playoffs he’s lost 4 games and won 1 wildcard. That’s it. People loved Vick, but Michael Vick only won 2 playoff games in his entire career. I don’t know why people have such a hard time understanding what it takes to win in the playoffs.

You cite stats about accuracy, but it’s a well known fact he has issues with throwing the football downfield. Sure, he’s accurate on short passes, but he’s not accurate hitting open receivers with consistency running open downfield. I could drop a dozen articles in here about this from a dozen different pundits.

So the past two seasons Lamar finished the year on injured reserve. The seasons he didn’t get injured by playoffs, he lost 4 playoff games, and only won a single wildcard game in his entire career. 

I don’t want razzle dazzle in regular season, my QB putting himself constantly in harms way to thrill the crowd with electric runs. I want my QB healthy come playoff time, and to have the best chance to win in the playoffs,. To do that you’ve got to have a QB who can beat defenses from the pocket first and foremost, and only run as the last resort with exception of some designed runs. That’s how you win playoff games, your QB has got to be able to beat defenses from the pocket by reading them, going through his progressions quickly, getting the ball out quickly and delivering it accurately. If he can’t do this, he can run all he wants and lose the game.

Matt Ryan had some of that early in his career with playoffs. Don't kid yourself. I understand what you like or don't like but LJ is an electrifying player that can win a SB. However, I don't want him here simply because of his salary demands and injury risk, but no one can convince me he's not a top 10 QB, otherwise why did the Ravens just offer him 133M for 3 years They're not a stupid organization.

Ryan typically played excellent throughout playoffs, and we won some big playoff games with terrible low ranked defenses, and really, Ryan played so well in Super Bowl we had the game iced without dumb play calling allowing Pats back in.  
 

But I didn’t realize you also were concerned about Lamars injuries, many here who wanted him wouldn’t even acknowledge this issue. We seem to only disagree with importance of a QB who can dissect a defenses from the pockey to win playoff games. Mobility in today’s NFL more important than it was 10 years ago, but Brady was still winning Super Bowls from pocket recently. I believe your WB can be as athletic as Michael Vick, but if he can’t dissect a defense from the pocket  he won’t go far in playoffs. Regular season sure, playoffs not so much. 
 

Also, Lamars running is catching up to him with season ending injuries the past two seasons. These running QBs have abbreviated careers.

In other words, the poster you quoted is admitting Heinicke is the backup, which is what I was saying.

My OP further states if Ridder implodes or gets hurt Heinicke was brought in the take over. 

it’s odd when exactly what I said in OP is repackaged as a revelation later in the thread.

Gazoo mad salty as usual 🤣

Trying to turn my post in to "repackaging" when its clearly your homerism. No surprise here to any OG's on this MB.

This is so far from the truth. No he did not. 2016 and 2012 aside the man was lackluster his first few times 

According to who? Throwing a pick in the playoffs doesn’t mean you had a bad game. Brady had lots of picks in playoff games, sometimes multiple picks and pick 6s. Doesn’t mean he sucked in playoffs. 
 

The Ryan haters were utterly ridiculous in their criticism of Ryan’s playoff performances. Just absurd, over the top nonsense. Most of Jen hated him because he was a pure pocket passer and wanted Vick running. Of course, Vick only won 2 playoff games in his entire career, Lamar only 1 wildcard, but that doesn’t matter to the running QB enthusiasts.

Matt Ryan was 17-22, 284 yards 2 tds, zero int one fumble.  Somehow THAT is what these people blame for the Super Bowl loss rather than the 440 yards passing the defense gave up.

I blame Alex Mack for running to the line and snapping the ball early when we had a huge freaking lead.

The never-ending quest to be "right" about a player wages on.

While I didn’t state my earlier position in the OP, simply pointed out the new information we have and drew a logical conclusion from it, I do appreciate you noticing. Do you follow me?

Also third highest rated QBR game in SBs. 

https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/matt-ryan-superbowl-51-qbr

Career in playoffs

20 TDs 7 INTS

There is nothing whatsoever that will satisfy the rabid running QB people, except a running QB like Mariota, they loved him. They loved Vick, despite him only having 2 career playoff wins. The playoffs don’t matter to this people, only running QBs matter.

No, but when I saw this topic out there, I knew it would be a back-door way of you putting Ridder over somehow. Again.
