Mr.11 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I just saw an article headline saying that Brett Favre doesn't think Aaron Rodgers will finish his career in Green Bay. It got me thinking that in light of Tom Brady's recent departure from New England and the Packers' controversial decision to trade up for a quarterback in the first round, it's probably more of an eventuality than anything else. Probably most NFL fans didn't think they would ever see Tom Brady in another uniform. There was a time when we didn't think we'd see Peyton Manning in a Denver Broncos' uniform, or even further back, Joe Montana in a Kansas City Chiefs' uniform. Yet here we are, on the cusp of not only seeing Brady in another uniform, but as a divisional opponent. So what does all this mean for our very own Matty Ice? Well, nothing for the next three years at least. But the closer he approaches 40, the more the question will resonate. Matt hasn't publicly spoken much about how long he plans to play, and time will tell how long he can continue to play at a high level. He's certainly been durable, despite a lot of turnover and dearth of quality up front over the years, and he has the mental acumen to make up for a physical decline. But as the saying goes, father time is undefeated. So when that time comes and he decides to call it a career, will it be as a lifelong member of the Atlanta Falcons, or somewhere else?

1989Fan Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Yes, I think he will. I could see Ryan retiring before his body or the league retires him...similar to Eli. Once he isn’t good enough to for the Falcons I think he calls it a career. «HÂWKÂÎл, RetroRoq, Dukeduke211 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLEVEN Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 In the thread title, you ask if we think Ryan will retire a falcon. In the poll question, you ask if we think he’ll suit up for another team... the results of this poll are going to be questionable at best lol.

falconidae Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Hard to say, it may be a new coaching regime comes in and wants their own guy, and Ryan has 2-3 good years left. It'd be possible to trade him in 2 years. Even at 37-38, Ryan would command a good price, might luck out and go to a team that just needed a QB and win a ring. Ideally, another ring. If Quinn and Ryan win a ring next year or so, they both get to stay as long as they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HASHBROWN3 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Probably but I really don’t mind either way. He has a ways to go. Has HOF potential & clearly the greatest falcon QB of all time. Because of the status he holds as our greatest ever, it would probably increase the possibility of him retiring a Falcon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foo Falcons Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 dam why so many people think he aint gonna retire a falcon? I definitely think he will unless we bring in a GM or coach with zero care of loyalty.

Wardog357 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Ryan will play until he’s done then retire. I’ve had my issues with him at times but he fights to win every game. I think he’ll give the FO fair notice when he’s ready so they can trade up and get their man. I think he’s that type of guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonDaLuvMaker Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 If the Falcons win a SB before his replacement is ready to take over, then yes 100%. The only reason why Ryan would play elsewhere is to chase a SB ring if he has yet to achieve one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwifalcon Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Retire a Falcon I’ll say yes. I mean he’s made what 300 plus mill in salary. Outside of winning a ring is there anything else for him to prove I don’t think so. Falcons only move on from Ryan if there’s a viable plan in place in about 2-3 years to replace him. I think himself and Julio retire as Falcons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEHEADCOACH Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) I think he will retire a Falcon. He saved this franchise and turned it around. He's done a lot with some pathetic coaches and teams around him. If we win a super bowl, I wouldn't be surprised to see Matt walk away with still some years left in the tank. He may come back the year after or something like that, just to see if they can do it again. Matt's extremely tough and durable, but I don't see him letting the game break him down to bad.

MoFalconsFan56 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 No because he’s gonna be pretty much forced out when we get a new HC and it’s awfully rare for a player to finish with one team these days. Hopefully he goes to SF and wins a super bowl. I’ll cheer for him wherever he goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
