Calvin Ridley Didn't Have A Single Catch

[RumHam]

LOL, we are who they thought we are. I'm hoping this isn't a trend. If both top receivers in this year's draft don't end up producing in week 1 or at least even contributing, that sounds like a waste of a pick. How does ATL not get Ridley involved? With Samuel out, even with him in, i'd still prefer Moore as the #3.

So when a rookie doesn't produce in game one, it's a wasted draft pick? That's funny, especially with a position that has to depend on the QB to produce anything other than a block.

[LinvilleGorge]

Yeah, if a guy doesn't produce in his very first NFL game, he's clearly a bust and a wasted pick.

Wait, what?

[RumHam]

When they're supposed to be a playmaker, it certainly is.

[Biscuit]

Hard to make plays when Julio is drawing 19 targets on the night.

[FakePlasticTrees]

I do not believe Ridley even played last night (I did not watch the full game). TBH, that is surprising.

[bababoey]

I saw him drop a pass I know at the end of the 1st or start of the 2nd quarter.  So he must suck.  Anyone who drops passes sucks, rookie or not right.  (Sarcasm) We need a sarcasm button btw.

One game into someone's career you should never say its a wasted pick.

Maybe we should toss the Falcons a conditional 7th to kindly take him off their hands since he's such an obvious bust after one game where no one not named Julio Jones was doing anything.

I think Moore is Definitely going to be better

 

But I wouldnt laugh so fast about a Rookie going Catchless in his first game.

 

Moore has a very good chance he could do the same.

 

Right now he is behind

Smith

Wright

CMC

Olsen

Ian Thomas

 

As far as targets go. 

[AggieLean]

I was going to say; it wouldn’t shock me if Moore did the same

[La Pantera]

ATLs O looked like poo outside of Julio. And to be fair, Ridley was only targeted once. And i for one hope that the dirtyturds continue to look this bad on O.

I bought a new lawnmower and it didn’t start the very first time I pulled the cord... piece of junk

@CarolinaSunday just posted this in the game day thread.

WR is a tough position to transition to. Isn't it usually year 3 when these guys take a big leap?
