Desmond Ridder to the Cardinals (Traded Rondale Moore)

[SoonerLou]

CBS gives Atlanta an A for this trade and gives the Cards a C+.

Raising the floor!

People always want more from a backup QB than is really available. People want a guy who is basically as good as a starter, but the vast majority of backup QBs are actually worse than Ridder.

Nathan Peterman is still floating around as a back up QB!

I feel like you've said this about basically every Cards backup QB except Chris Streveler.

Desmond Ridder > Drew Stanton. Don't @ me, Ryan Lindley lover.

Note: I see real no way of distinguishing between the two. Other than Drew has a bad knee and is out of the league, I think.

I'd reverse that.

I think if we don't sign Hollywood this opens up for taking 2 WRs in the draft. MHJ Obvs, but also maybe a 3rd round or day 3 pick.

Sign me up for Pearsall in the third.

Ronald going for 1000 yards next year would be the most Cardinal thing ever. I like it though, he wasn’t gonna do it here and now you have two young dudes that can battle it out for the backup job. I don’t think it means Tune is gone cause I think they’ll keep three.

And I’m not really sure Drake London is a 1… he’s been pretty underwhelming

jury is out for sure but he's had some decent games to go with the horrific QB play he has been party to.
I think they go defense but if Nabers or Oduzne is sitting there, they might give Cousins another weapon. They did sign Darnell Mooney though. But he's been nothing special.

I heard someone say that if you take away Ridders 5 worst plays from any game he's pretty good, but he always has 5 bad plays.

Oh, not a pick and we got something for Moore? Cool, then.

 

[BritCard]

Uh, why? For actual draft capital? Again, why?

Stout just woke up!

 

[Stout]

Is Tune gone or #3 or practice squad? They sure liked to use Tune on short and goal situations because he can actually move the pile and score a TD.

I would assume he's our #3.

I’ll be interested to see if a FA WR is in the works. Curtis Samuel makes some sense here if you’re considering filling Moore’s role(I use that term loosely here).

I could not hit "disagree" on this post fast enough. HOW DARE YOU, SIR!

 

[TruColor]

Can send them to me my last name is Moore

So is mine - and Rondale went to the school - Purdue - in my hometown (West Lafayette, Indiana).

Seemed like the perfect player for me to buy jerseys for, but alas - nothing lasts forever.

Ha Deleted the comment when I realized it wasn't a pick and we got to dump Moore. I like it.

We got our “Big John”

 

[Stout]

We got our “Big John”

Or is he our "Big BAD John?" hehe

 

[Proximo]

This is a quality backup QB, and even I had given up on Rondale so I like this move quite a bit.

Hopefully it means we draft another WR in the 3rd or 4th.

 

[SECTION 11]

I’m betting there is a spike in Purdue highlight views going on right now.

 

[Mulli]

I feel like this is the trade to honor anyone who ever posted "why didn't they get something for him." Getting anything for Rondale Moore is cooking.

 

[az jam]

I like the trade. Also Tune will be the 3d qb, need to carry 3.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Why would we do that when tune isn’t expensive and they saw something in him they liked enough to spend a draft pick?

For the roster spot of course. Tune if they wanted could go on the practice squad leaving another spot for another position.

 

[Proximo]

I am lukewarm on Hollywood but at the right price he makes some sense.

He absolutely does. He is a good #2 or #3 when healthy. Would make Harrison's transition easier as well.

But I don't want to sign him long term.

You must have seen something in Tune that I missed, because he showed absolutely nothing to me. I want him gone.

Ya, sorry, Clayton Tune, but that Browns game, oof.
