Posted September 27 Ryan is leading the league in interceptions as right now. What is y'all's excuses for the golden boy? Definitely ain't helping this team win! When will you kool-aid drinkin, apologist, homers wise up and hold the $100mm+ golden boy accountable and stop making excuses for him? I'll wait...

Posted September 27 Ryan isn't beyond criticism, but he is far from the problem with this team right now. Try again. camfalcon, dodge_birds_fan, Since1990 and 29 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 27 Blame Stocker for most of them. He and Ryan aren’t on the same page. PokerSteve, Faithful Falcon, Schwarzwald and 3 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 27 It’s multi-faceted problem. Ryan has made some poor decisions. However, a large majority of time, receivers aren’t getting separation, this forcing passes into tighter than normal situations. And then there is the scheme that is having trouble scheming receivers open, thus leading to the above. Finally, the lack of starters playing together in preseason has made timing come on at a very slow pace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought he was untouchable... MattVP right? Ryan is average to above-average at best. The sooner y'all see that, the better.

Shanny made him back in '16. Hard to touch that level of play ever again IMO. The Rock and Stray Dog THA GAWD like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 27 I'm just hoping that the 2nd half of the colts game is the offense we will see the rest of the year. Looked like everyone was finally in sync despite the penalties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The sooner y'all see that, the better. Average at best? He’s 7th in yards, 5th in completion percentage, 5th in yards per game, 4th in TDs, and 9th in QBR. There are 32 QBs in the league. And Mayfield will likely take the #1 mantle in INTs this week. How about take in the entire picture instead of just one stat.

Posted September 27 I don't think anyone is drinking the kool-aid. We have watched him for 11 years now. I think we all know what he is and what he can and can't do. He's not ARogers but he's better than the average. Will he make mistakes? Yes. Can you win with him? Yes. Do you need a more complete team around him? Yes. Will he win you some games on his own? Yes. But anyone with any football sense knows with INTs the blame goes around. Sure Ryan has been the cause of some, but in the Min game when Ryan hits Sanu in the hands and he bobbles it over his helmet into the defenders arms I guess that's Ryan's fault too. I'm not making excuses but I'm not just looking at the numbers and making assumptions either.

There are 32 QBs in the league. How about take in the entire picture instead of just one stat. I don't get the extreme criticism of Ryan. He's been less than perfect, but he's still putting up great numbers. If not for his INTs, he'd be one of the top 4 QBs in the league. Meanwhile the defense that was supposed to be Quinn's specialty is yet again putrid and the biggest drag on the team. If they get one more stop or a few less penalties we have a good chance of winning the Colts game. Special teams has given the opposing team a starting field position of nearly the 50 yard line. Instead of blaming either of the other units that are even worse than the offense, folks only see Ryan's mistakes and blame it all on him. ok_falcons_fan likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because people have an agenda and only use the info that supports their ****** opinion. As you can see, I listed five stats that puts him in the top 10 in the league to counterbalance the one stat the original poster listed. It’s strictly an agenda against a player they don’t like and that’s about it. MD-FalconFan13, Geneaut, TNFalcon1 and 2 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 27 Ryan is average to above-average at best. Can't put the team on his back and requires a superstar cast around him to win. Ryan is what he is. I've stood up for Ryan and have been a Ryan fan for the past 11 years. This year, if he doesn't get his **** together, I'm done with him all together.
