likeriver Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) A compelling argument that he's a top 15 QB (although we shouldn't get carried away. I'd still day he's 18 or 19, just behind Keenum.) https://mobile.twitter.com/NFLMatchup/status/1057288338468757504 Edit: I will go to my grave wondering how to embed a tweet.

Ovie_Lover Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 **** surprised to see Brees as the 5th worst. Get the Saints to third down and you have a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcons007 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Ryan has always been the top 3QB on 3rd downs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did...but our 3rd down defense allows conversions on 54% of the attempts. I'm pretty sure that Drew Brees run TD was on a 3rd down.

Jesus Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Falcons are #2 (#1 before the bye) on 3rd down offense, but #31 on 3rd down defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without checking the stats I'm gonna say this is correct. Probably top 10 at least. Partially because of third down weapons like Julio, Roddy and TonyG, but buddy is very crafty with 3rd down and distance challenges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire season summed up in one stat. The offense and defense are just operating on different planes right now. Here's hoping the D can start getting it together.

The Falcon Jedi Knight Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Ryan is awesome this season, and mostly overlooked how good he has been. He is on a record pace this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean he's getting there, but he's still got a ways to go before he can be mentioned in the same breath as true franchise QBs like Joe Flacco and Cam Newton. Just too many bone headed throws. Very inconsistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuego Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Great stat. But obviously that alone doesn't translate into wins. Brees' rate is 5th worst with a 5-1 record and Ryan #1 with a 3-4 record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
