itsslomotionbaby Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I wasnt expecting joe montana, but i was at least expecting to see a tavaras jackson type of performance. from a qb that supposed to be the most qb ready in the draft and hands down the best qb on the team.I saw a qb that was scared, i saw a qb that had no pocket awareness and what highly touted rookie have you ever seen go 0 for 8. even when he seem to regroup in the second half the recievers had to turn in to circus acts to catch the ball.i am also dissapointed in the fact that while in the redzone their was not one attempted pass thrown towards the enzone after 4 trips. the last trip down i was like show me something. What does he do slowly trudge to the sideline and throw the ball away.yes tampas d is ferocious but the protection really looked better than it did last year. the annoncers even saw that.people tell me that a strong arm isnt important, well at least on 2 occations when he had time to wind up and wing it down the field, the ball lookeed like a battery operated cessna. this is exactly why i said before i annoint him savior of the franchise lets see how he handles real pressure. can you win with this guy? you hadme convinced that we could but now i only see us winning if we put a great supporting cast around him. Im sorry but i did not see any resemblance of someone that has big game experiance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tavaras jackson of the Atlanta Falcons is on a vacation in Kansas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev_Hal Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Who ever said that anyone anointed Ryan as "savior"? Taht just sounds like sour grapes because your pick for QB isn't playing.He is a rookie. He looked like a rookie. He will learn and improve. We knew all of this entering the season.

bossFALCON™ Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 tavaris jackson is in his 3rd year. ryan was in his 2nd game against the defense that was #1 against the pass last year and has one of the best D coordinators in the league.you guys have your expectations set too high for a guy on a young rebuilding team that has only played 2 pro games. he will take his lumps. he isnt going to just show up and be peyton manning and throw for 400 yds and 5 TDs every game. chances are he will have worse games than what he had against tampa sometime during this season.HE IS A ROOKIE.

rugger8 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 What I'm looking for in Ryan this season is constant improvement. The difference between Ryan in the first half versus second half was night and day, so although I would have loved a win, it's too early to lose patience.

Zenduke Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I saw a Young rookie QB that saw something that he had never seen beforethat adjusted and deal with it in the second half of the game. I'm not sure what you saw but you seem to be a little harsh on a kid that face a really good defense with a really young O-line. Remember...this is a rebuilding year. We are to get better not go undefeated. If you believe that Ryan should look like Montana please remember that Most great QB's didn't start great.

Then tells people not overreact, when he just overreacted to us beating the Lions. Dont overreact when we lose, but surely do so when we win.

The_Gritz_Blitz Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 This guy obviously doesn't watch much football and has a rather vague opinion...to think the difference from the first half to the second was going from terrible to bad is stupid....Ryan's stats in 1st half were 3-15, 36yds, 0TD, 2INT & teh IMPROVEMENT 2nd half he was 10-18, 122yds, 0TD, 0INTA much greater improvement...I thought the playcalling had something to do with our red zone performance as well as TB defense just shutting down our running game.Get a brain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderCookie Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Is 50% passing and 6.1 YPA good?Better than the 44.2% that Vick put up in his first 8 games in 2001. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev_Hal Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Is 50% passing and 6.1 YPA good?He was getting knocked aronud like a bowling pin. It was more pressure than he had seen in his career. Instead of panicing or quitting, he kept moving forward. Yes, over the course of the day he got better. It is the learning process that all rookies go through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan is a better passer than Vick? Wow, put Ryan in the hall of fame now because we know Vick was teh best QB ever1!1!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
