I've been a big defender of Ridley all year.  But this is a comment that has been made every week since September.  He's still coming back from 2 years off.  And I get that.  But dude, at some point, Ridley has to have a real break out game where it all clicks.

It's December, and he's still not on the same page with his QB?   

With that said, why are the coaches not on Ridley trying to either coach him up, or trying to get him back to NFL WR standards.  Ridley was supposed to be the missing piece.  Why the coaching staff hasn't had more urgency to get him up to snuff is beyond me.

Maybe the coaches don't know how to utilize him like they did in Atlanta???  Maybe the coaching scheme is too rigid and not able to get the best out of some of our players???  It's something to consider, in my opinion.

Maybe you don't get that he wasn't the #1 in Atlanta and they are trying to get him go be that here. Then when he draws coverage like a 1 he just isn't up to it. You just seem to think that a guy not catching the ball or running the wrong route is on the coach somehow. Can you not just accept that the player is the issue?
