Ryan defends Cam celebrations: Who is gonna throw someprops his way like they did for Sherman?

Many bashed Sherman last year for essentially being himself ( showing his personality). A few days ago many praised him and gave him props for defending Cam.

Now Matt Ryan has done exactly the same thing. I highly doubt it, but curious to see if the same comments of respect and in short "reeling in of the hate" will go on for Ryan.

Big difference between Sherman and Ryan.

Matt Ryan told us to get off his fuggin field, so he can go eat a dog poo sandwich.

I agree and said as much when we played them. That said, the comment was made with him being a "player"...with him " showing his personality"...with him "being who he is"...etc etc. All the same things we back Cam up with when others criticize him for being " who he is".  That is the point I am driving at...we praise one for playing with fire and being themselves and being lost in the moment, but don't extend that same consideration to others.

Cam has helped to open our eyes to the fact that football players are emotional creatures. It was easy to condem him 3 years ago, but now that we can  look at how we love our own qb doing that and more,  fair to let it go.

Thanks Matt! Now make sure your breeches are bleached and clean next time we come to say hi in the.backfield. :)

If it was Drew Brees, or hell, even Jameis Winston saying it I'd care.  Matt Ryan is like the human equivalent of watching paint dry.  No one cares about Matt Ryan.  He's mediocre as hell and boring as poo to boot.  The dude ends up with some of the most inflated stat lines I've ever seen from a quarterback that doesn't come anywhere close to matching the eye test.  If not for that he'd be one of the most irrelevant players in the league.

    • No you dont.  He had all those records for years before his final season. Whether career or season he had them all years before his final season in which he played 6 games.
    • Williams covered for Moore by saying they were on the wrong page about Moores specific route. Williams could have easily covered for him by saying he messed up. Suggesting only 1 route was ever intended to be a viable target is absurd.
    • I am going to agree with Linville this time--I think we need to get a veteran edge (We have Jones II, Scourton, and Princely--2 developmental guys and a decent veteran).  We don't really think of Jones because he had a hamstring injury weeks 3 and 4 and a back that required surgery Week 6-17.  He still managed 10 pressures, and he will be 28.  Princely Umanmielen only played in approximately 18-20% of the snaps and he struggled at times.  Basically, he was a situational pass rusher.  He got 1.5 sacks and 10 pressures.  He should improve, but for now, he is what he is.  Scourton gives us hope.  For a rookie (and thanks to Jones II's injuries, he was given more PT), he had 8 sacks--and held the edge.  He played at a first-round draft pick level.  He has the potential to become "that guy" in 2026. We lose Wonnum, who played nearly 700 snaps and amassed 3 whole sacks.  For a person raised a Gamecock, I would not be upset if we purged our roster of all South Carolina alumni.   However, I see it this way:  Wonnum was decent holding the edge, something Patrick Jones II and Scourton have demonstrated at a high level.  He is a liability, if you ask me.    Jones had 7 sacks one season in Minnesota and is known for his inside rushing ability--not what you would call a speed rusher.  I think Princely was a bit disappointing, but he was a bit raw.  Out of college, they described him as being a bit predictable.  I see no reason he will not improve in 2026 and become a situational pass rusher.   Basically, with Scourton and Princely expected to continue to develop and Jones II returning from injury, I think we need another veteran (if we can get a good one) to give us balance and depth.  A third developmental player is not ideal.   Draft:  OT, LB, WR, OL depth, S. Free Agency:  Edge, possibly a WR;  re-sign Mays, Cuhran, BC (??), and Nijman.  Let walk:  Wonnum, Scott, Dowdle.  I see about $20m per year after signing the OL depth.  Spend it on a veteran edge.   Players like Reddick (Tampa), Bosa (Buffalo), Khalil Mack (LAC) could be available on a one or two year deal in the $15m range.  We could splurge here, but I think a veteran situational pass rusher (depending on Jones II's back) is all we need while our 2 young guns develop.
