PFT: Is Matt Ryan A Hall Of Famer?

Recommended Posts

If they can't win it all this year, Ryan has a good chance of being just like Marino. Great QB who never won a super bowl. A Super Bowl would lock it up considering the QB gets all of the glory of a win and all of the doom for a loss. But at this point he will be a HOF, just not first ballot.

BTW, Chris Simms was on point with everything he said. Made a lot more sense than his QB list he made last week.

Shouldn't this be discussed about Rivers instead of Matt? He's the one about to run out of time....

Probably the better question.

Argument of Ryan vs his peers? Most of them are older or won a SB on the backs of Defense; not their own amazing play 'carrying their team'.

Dude should have a ring. History shows that isn't the only factor to getting into the HoF.

Arguments end with "if he finishes Top 6 all time in yardage does he get in? Yes."

Welp, there you go. Matt gets in at this rate. What's not to understand? :shrug:

Pull up the last 10 QB’s inducted into the HOF. Also include Brady, Manning, Brees & Big Ben.  Accumulate their stats, metrics. W/L record and playoff performances over their first 10 seasons.

 Then  compare it to Ryan’s first 10 years.  The answer becomes self evident

Yeah but better players are passed over for more popular ones regularly.

If his career ended today, no.  Based on his career trajectory, it's difficult to see him having a long career and not making it.  Even with the comparison to Rivers, he came into the league 4 seasons later and is only 7k yards behind him.  He should be ranked 9 or 10 after this season.  He's 24k yards behind Brady, but Brady has been in the league for 8 more seasons.  He might crack the top 5 in 4 seasons, depending on what some of the other QB's ahead of him do.

Does that include the first 2 years of sitting by Rivers?

Rivers averages 4,192 yards a season not including the first 2 behind Brees.

Ryan averages 4,247 yards a season.

But those first 2 seasons sitting behind Brees will hurt when it comes time to retire. Had he played those 2 years that could have been an additional 7-9k added to his production.

For the record, Ryan had 2 real shots to win a Super Bowl.  The first one, he had a 114.8 passer rating, 9.43 ypa, and 396 yards in a loss against the 49ers.  Everybody knows what happened in the Super Bowl.  73.91% completion, 144.1 passer rating, 12.35 ypa, and we lost.

Any moron could see where our team let us down in those 2 opportunities.  Was he flawless?  Of course not, no human being ever is.

Matt made a couple more egregious mistakes vs the Niners but we would’ve won with a D.

SB51 Matt was near perfect, tho. We run the ball more, Free doesn’t whiff, or heck just kneel 3 times and win the SB...then, this isn’t even a discussion.

It's been a while so excuse my memory but what were the egregious mistakes?

The INT was 100% on Roddy White. He slipped and fell on his hitch route.

The Fumble is the only one off the top of my head and unfortunately for us it took an extremely generous bounce directly into the arms of a 49er player. (Just like the Superbowl fumble)

Yes. A botched snap that ruined a drive you had going well. That was a gaffe, especially with the SB appearance on the line.

SB51 I don’t even blame him taking the sack. Should’ve never been in that position. Every play after that beautiful pass and catch to Julio should’ve been a run or kneel.

Shotgun...

I hate playing coulda, woulda, shoulda but had Roddy kept his footing, Devonta had put a hand on Hightower, or Shanahan had simply put it in the deep freeze by running the ball three straight times with less than four minutes left, he not only has a pair of Super Bowl rings on but this thread doesn't exists. Plain and simple...

Being a Falcon fan 101. While Joe Flacco won a SB thanks to one of the worst displays of prevent defense I have ever seen Matt Ryan can't catch a break if his life depended on it. I feel bad for the guy.
