the_next_level Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I had a discussion with one of my neighbors who is a college football fanatic.I asked him his opinions on Matt Ryan,and if he would be a bust in the NFL,because of his interceptions.He told me that Jay Cutler had similar problems in college,coming from a small school and throwing a lot of interceptions,and seems to be adjusting well to the pros,although the interceptions are still high,he is showing a lot of promise.So I did a little research and found college stats on both players:JAY CUTLER STATS Statistics Att Comp Pct Yds TD Int Rating 2005 462 273 59.1 3,073 21 9 126.12004 241 147 61.0 1,844 10 5 134.8 2003 327 187 57.2 2,347 18 13 127.7 2002 212 103 48.6 1,433 10 9 112.4Career 1242 710 57.2 8,697 59 36 125.9 MATT RYAN STATS PassingStatistics Att Comp Pct Yds TD Int Rating 2007 654 388 59.3 4,507 31 19 127.0 2006 426 262 61.5 2,939 15 10 126.4 2005 195 121 62.1 1,514 8 5 135.7 2004 71 35 49.3 350 2 3 91.5 Career 1346 806 59.9 9,310 56 37 126.2Cutler-Career 1242 710 57.2 8,697 59 36 125.9 Ryan-Career 1346 806 59.9 9,310 56 37 126.2Now by all means I am not saying we should draft Ryan,I just want to know what everyone opinion on the subject was.

chosun Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 i always taught cutler was more like flacco based on physical abilities.. ryan seems more like a mix between big ben and brady as far as physical abilities.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconfansince66 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I'd take Cutler over Ryan any day of the week. Cutler did better at Vanderbilt, the doormat team of the SEC, than Ryan did at Boston College, which has been historically a much better team than Vandy has.For some reason, I see Pat Sullivan written all over Matt Ryan if we take him with that #3 pick!

Joremarid Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 grendel (3/6/2008)Cutler managed to have more than a 2 to 1 TD / INT ratio his senior year... About 40% better than Ryan's 1.5 to 1 TD /INT ratio... Oh, and he was taken late 1st.If we extrapolate, Ryan should be taken mid 2nd. I'd be ok with Ryan mid-2nd if Brohm, Henne, and Flacco were off the board.dude, cutler was taken 11th overall, almost a top 10 pick. and the only reason he was taken as late as he was in the same draft as young and leinart.

A-Town Stomp Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Lots of quarterbacks threw a lot of interceptions in college. Payton, Cutler, Eli, and many more. What people really don't like about Ryan is is whole package. Cutler is one of the hardest throwing quarterback in the NFL, he has a really strong arm which is why he is able to throw the ball on the run making him a perfect fit for Shannahan's offense. Ryan has a average arm, just like Harrington, Pennington. Ryan can most be described as another Joey Harrington, Chad Pennington, and Matt Hasselbeck in terms of package.
