WhiskeyBruh 545 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Blair: We must savor Matt Ryan, who is putting together one of the better statistical seasons of his career on a three-win Falcons team. He might be easy to overlook, but QBs of his pedigree are exceedingly difficult to find. Just ask owners of Derek Carr stock. https://www.nfl.com/news/qb-index-week-11-patrick-mahomes-aaron-rodgers-reign Be glad Matt Ryan is your quarterback... I know I am.

BlazerSlayer 409 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I've been grateful for MR his whole time here because he has proven himself continually. The worst thing is to have no franchise QB because you'll never have a shot at a SB, unless you manage to build an all time unit on other parts of your team. Getting a franchise QB is the hardest part. We have one, and it's a shame he wasn't given enough of a defense at any point. But there's some with an agenda on these boards.

Dr Long Shot 3,787 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Matt Ryan is a Hall of Fame QB and those don't fall from trees. Several generation of fans spoiled because they've never seen anyone else under center and think Rodgers is as good as his highlight reels.

I remember over last few offseasons several talking heads and knucklehead TAFTers claiming Carson Wentz was a superior QB.....🙃 Ryan’s been a Top 5 QB in league for last 5 years now...better than Rodgers, better than Brees , better than little ben. But unless/until he gets a ring, he won’t be recognized as such until after he’s gone. gkgrimes, rounz, PokerSteve and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

marvinthemartian 4,566 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Oh how I yearn for the good old days of Joey Harrington, Byron Leftwich, Chris Redmon, Doug Johnson, Kurt Kittner...oh those glorious memories. I cannot wait to go through another period of stellar QB play like that after that scrub Ryan gets shown the door/ deep, deep purple.

TheShadow 97 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 This organization (HCs coaching, GMs hiring, mckay influence, and blank's decisions) have been huge facters in hinduring an already great Ryan career. He would already have a superbowl win if not having a freeman missed block and HC & OC screw up the same time. He has been and still can be more even valueable with a compedent HC and GM, and blank finds some one outside the organization, not mckay, to help him make football decisions Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PokerSteve 26,807 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Matt Ryan has been the beating heart of this team since 2008, as only an extraordinary QB can be. Without him we probably still be looking for our first back-to-back winning seasons. When he's gone, most of us who are long-time fans realize it could be a very long time before the Falcons have a QB of his caliber again. The real truth is, when he retires this team may never be blessed with a Matt Ryan-level QB again. Unfortunately for him, he's one of those players who will never really be fully appreciated until he's retired and the Falcons are wallowing around with four wins a season again.

When were vying for the first pick in this next draft, I was making the argument for drafting our next QB. In my opinion, you can not win consistently without an excellent QB PokerSteve 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But he has to be cerebral. Like Joe Burrow or even Tua & Kyler to some extent. Smart enough to pick up an entire playbook in 2-3 seasons. Accurate enough to make multi-level reads consistently. Passionate enough to take full accountability & lead on wider scale than a Matt Ryan. To me Matt has been a great professional but he's never been a true Stand-up leader. And that's a tough statement looking at the record books. But even up to his present day play has shown he isn't the guy to lead an entire franchise on his own. I want a guy who can do that. And win a Super Bowl. Matt's great. But he was never THAT guy. Never will be. So let's find him... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Draftnut57 4,040 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 For sure, let Ryan play as long as he wants to.. But we need to get a QB to be an understudy of Matts.. And when Matt is ready to ride off in the Sun set,, We'll have a QB that can step in and not miss a beat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The answer should’ve been, Matt Ryan has been an exceptionally great player for us over the years. Although the new GM will have full authority to make personnel moves, I would suspect that most GMs would want to keep a talent and leader like Matt Ryan on board and work to get complementary pieces in place.

I'd say your right,, it would be a dumb move to fire Matt.. I can't think of any GM that would make such a stupid move as that.. I think Blank was just saying he will give the new GM the power to do what ever he thinks best to help this team. And he should give him that power to make the decisions ... Else we will have a two headed monster in control. JohnnyFranchise 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
