I Am Very Upset With Matt Ryan

I have been a defender of Matt, but this year has really taken a toll on his game. It can be (and has been) said that Shanahan and the new system is partially to blame, but yesterday's game was revealing. He's become less and less accurate even on less than 20 yd. passes; seems to rush more than usual even when the OL gives him time. He needs to work with a QB guru on reestablishing fundamentals in this off-season. If he continues into next year his substandard play, regardless of the cause, The Ryan era may maybe rapidly coming to a close.

He's not done.

I don't think he's done either. I don't necessarily blame people for criticizing his play either. As another poster stated though, this thread is loaded to the brim with knee jerk reaction. The guy had a pretty bad season. Let's find out what he does to avoid that from happening again. People who would rather cut him or just be rid of him over giving him a chance to come back better have clearly underestimated him. He's earned that much at least. Now I've said since earlier this year that if this continues we're going to be having a tough conversation.

Anyone who says they want to cut him or whatever are insane. And that's not a Matt Ryan thing, that's any top tier QB or player. You don't just cut guys when they have some off times. Especially in their primes. It's just not how professional sports works.

Aaron Rodgers also has no offensive line, a mediocre at BEST running game, and not one WR who can create separation.The Falcons stayed relatively healthy. Next.

So Matt Ryan has the 1 WR.

Not sure I'm seeing much of a difference otherwise. We have a really good RB, but we do not have a really good running GAME. And our o-line play, especially on the interior, is putrid.

Take the blinders off. It's time for a new QB.

This reality seems to escape many on the message board. Matt Ryan has finished his 8th season. People his skills from this season forward will start to decline. Not that they were superior in the past. But whatever skills he's had are gonna diminish going forward. That said, cut your loss. Bring in a 2nd or 3rd round qb. Nurture the qb while Ryan decline. Give the trainee a glimpse of the NFL speed here and there. Then give him the keys after a season or two.

Now QBs start to decline when they hit 30. This is a new one.

He also just blew a division rival game in similar fashion to M.R. I wonder if GB fans are talking about moving on...

And still managed to throw for 31 TDs and 8 INTs in a "down year" for him with that O line struggling.

We need to stop comparing Matt's struggles to ARod's "struggles".

Matt isn't going anywhere this year...but this is what gets me. I wish people would TRY to look at it more objectively. I know they like the guy, he was their favorite player, he was supposed to be the guy that lead us to greatness but we're 8 years in and while we've had plenty of issues...at some point you can't keep coming up with excuses. He's been a good QB for most of his career but I think that maybe some folks need to at least entertain the notion that we've seen the best of him. He's going into his 9th year and unlike some veterans that played into their late 30s...he's never had superior athleticism or great arm strength and his decision making continues to get worse from what I can tell.

MUH FANTASY STATS!

Eh, I think scoring TDs actually count for something. They did finish with 10 wins and they are in the playoffs. That's the case with issues at RB this season and the 15th ranked defense (Atlanta's was 16th for what it's worth).

We'd be orgasmic if that was the case in Atlanta right now.

The response would be "when will Atlanta get Matt an oline and defense. He has to carry us every year."

Sounds like a bunch of excuses to me. On this board, good qb's are supposed to carry their team and aren't supposed to choke at home against a division rival when the division title is on the line. Next.
