Wouldn't you like to see even 2 more games of Ridder coming into this off-season?
Because he got better every single game. And really, his last 2 games were legit starting caliber play - maybe even playoff caliber. And that was from a guy who hadn't figured out how to use his athleticism yet (which he clearly demonstrated in college).
You'd sure like to have seen if he could maintain or continue to build on that. Because there's a non-zero chance that he could give them anything Carr could, plus some added mobility. But his first 2 games of awful play and his last 2 games of really solid play just aren't enough to answer that question either way.
The experiment was okay - but it was so clearly not working by week 8 that it's just ridiculous that they didn't pivot.
