“I just don’t view Desmond Ridder as a second-year quarterback because much like (San Francisco’s Brock) Purdy, he had a lot of starts in college. He has Ridder projected higher than Kirwan, a former coach and front-office executive. Miller, a former sixth-round pick by the Steelers in 1994 out of Michigan State, played six seasons in the NFL. Atlanta two, Tampa three and Carolina four.” Just New Orleans and then the rest of the division. “I’m not ready to get on Desmond Ridder, that he’s going to end up doing all of this and bringing them to the playoffs,” Kirwan said. Kirwan is not high on Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder. If Michael Thomas is really back, then they’ll be hard to beat. “You may not like him in the postseason, but he is a guy that can produce. “They have the best quarterback in the division,” Kirwan said. Kirwan also picked the Saints to win the division and the Falcons to finish second, but he doesn’t see them making the playoffs. “To me, New Orleans is winning the division, and Atlanta is my wild-card team.” “So, it’s going to take time to get that group up and running in my opinion,” Miller said. He noted that the Panthers are switching to a 3-4 defense. “Much like the other rookie quarterbacks – whether it’s in Indy or down there in Houston, I think they are like a 5-12 team is where I see Carolina.” “I mean they are going to have their struggles, I mean let’s face it,” Miller said. The Panthers have rookie quarterback Bryce Young. They’ll have a shot to be competitive in games, but I think they lose some one-score battles and finish 8-9 in that division.” “I still think defensively they are going to be good,” Miller said. He noted that Baker Mayfield is set to take over at quarterback and that a potential Mike Evans’ holdout could hurt the Bucs. He picked the Bucs, who are in cap-casualty mode after the retirement of Tom Brady, to finish third.
