Dear Mr. Ryan - from a concerned Carolina Dad

Dear Mr. Ryan,

Sorry for your loss in Atlanta today. Their team played well, but yours played worse. Kudos to the Vikings organization.

That game happened to be my twelve year old twins' 51st NFL TV experience. He was surprised to see so many Vikings fans sitting in your stadium; that doesn't happen much at seventh grade football games. And they were excited we got a new HD television, so we would be close to the “action,” particularly in the second half.

Because of that high definition, we had a close up view of your conduct on the sidelines in the fourth quarter. The crying. The yelling. The outright pouting on display in full view of players and fans. We saw it all.

I refuse to believe you don’t realize you are a role model. You are paid millions of dollars every week to play hard and be a leader. In the off season you’re expected to make appearances, support charities, and inspire young kids to pursue your sport and all sports. With everything the NFL has gone through in recent years, I’m confident they have advised that you are, by virtue of your position and career choice, a role model.

And because you are a role model, your behavior brought out like behavior in our house. My sons began taunting the Atlanta fans. They booed you, while offering instructive, but not necessarily family friendly, suggestions as to how you might change your behavior.

My wife sensed the change immediately – and started asking questions. Won’t he get in trouble for doing that? Is he trying to make people mad? Do you think he knows he looks like a spoiled brat?

I didn’t have great answers for her, and honestly, in an effort to minimize your negative impact and what was otherwise a really fun day, I redirected her attention to those sweet gorgeous cheerleaders.

I could tell she was still thinking about it as I went to the fridge for another beer. “I guess he doesn’t have kids or a wife at home watching the game,” she added.

I don’t know about your family life Mr. Ryan, but I think I’m safe in saying thousands of kids watch you every week. You have medicore talent and an incredible platform to be a role model for them. Unfortunately, what you modeled for them today was egotism, arrogance and poor sportsmanship.

Is that what your coaches and mentors modeled for you, Mr. Ryan?

      2025 Salary Cap Offense/Defense

      No one. Why do you think that is? Because they love Bryce Young's media presence, or because they realize the TEAM is an absolute shiite show that very few QBs could have success in? Knowing what you know about Tepper, which do you think is the reason? Don't try to overthink it. It's the obvious answer. These receivers aren't good - yet. Did you watch last night's game? How do you think our receivers stack up to GB and WAS receivers? Hot take... Renfrow should have caught the pass he took a shot on. Sanders caught the exact same pass running the exact same route with the exact same hit later in the game. There was another pass down the sideline that Renfrow should have caught and got his feet inbounds. The pass that was thrown short was a bad throw by Bryce. He flat out missed that throw. No argument there - and a great play call/design by Canales. But a better receiver either catches the ball or draws a PI with the defender's back towards the ball. The defender never saw the ball. He 100% played the receiver. Bryce isn't exactly killing it, but his receivers aren't doing him any favors either. Their job is to make QBs right, not the other way around. Any Joe SHOULD be able to go out there and catch perfect passes in perfect calls where they're wide open. That doesn't make you an NFL wide receiver.

      Hunt and Lewis on the report two weeks in a row to start the season. You can guarantee they will miss time at some point

      You all over the map.   First you scoff at seam routes being hospital balls…despite the fact those are always routes QB have to be worried about throwing their WR into a hit.  now you are countering with the “you act like Renfrow is on IR” defense  and the “but how did he keep playing after that” defense lol it’s a hospital.  Simple.  You even got NFL QBs explaining it to you in real time with the all22 and telling exactly where Bryce need to put the ball and when.
