Prove me wrong: Matt Ryan has the same skill set as Joey Harrington

Without a personal attack on me. Or without someone saying this is a ridiculous comparision. I would really like to know how they are different.

I have watched football for years, and I've seen a lot of QB's who don't make it.

These two guys have the exact same skill set. The only difference I see is that Joey takes a sack, and Ryan throws it away.

Joey had a few good games too ya know. Just like Ryan has.

How is Ryan better?

Harrington was the #3 overall pick so he was actually talented.

His problem was that he started worrying about getting hit... so he started checking it down more.

Being a NFL QB has a lot to do with confidence.... Joey lost his.

Hopefully Ryan hasn't.

Confidence goes a long way...

Well they both went to teams that were considered terrible. Matt Ryan is 16-10 in his first 26 games, Joey was 7-19 in his first 26.

Matt Ryan has more TDs, less INTS, a higher completion percentage, better yards per attempt, better TD percentage, better INT percentage, better passer rating.

Tell me exactly what you are looking for and I'll see if I can cover it for you.

Joey also never truly got an opportunity to show what he had to offer, playing for a bad Lions, Dolphins and Falcons teams didn't help. His raw numbers are not that bad he had a 56.1 completion rate and 14,693 yards in 6 seasons. (79TDs and 85Ints) He just never got a chance, he got a bad name around the league, in part because of the teams he played on and he was just flushed out of the NFL over time.

I'm looking for skills. I'm not looking for stats.

Ryan has no confidence, runs around when there isn't any pressure. I say 'runs around' because he's not scrambling, he's sprinting out of the tackle box so he can throw it away. He can't make throws consistently, he can't see the entire field. Sounds just like Joey.

What you are looking for is opinion based and can't be proven, so....end thread I guess.

True... and Petrino was the final nail in the coffin.

I don't know of any QB that would have success where the Head Coach is the first one to throw you under a bus.

Petrino NEVER takes the blame... it's always the player's fault.... even in college.

what ridiculous blanket statements. ryan has confidence. joey would have never tried to make the throw that ryan threw high. joey would have checked down. ryan missed his target and threw high. it happens.

btw ever notice how all the announcer's praise ryan for throwing it away when he does?
