article on Matt Ryan

[Captain Morgan]

PHILADELPHIA — It was the third quarter, and Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones—as is so often the case—was open down the left sideline near the end zone. Quarterback Matt Flacco didn't see him.

Er, sorry, Matt Ryan. Hard to tell the difference sometimes.      

There are a legion of people who will tell you how great Ryan is. It's almost like a cottage industry. An army of apologists who toss all of Matt Flacco's stats and data and film cut-ups in your face like they're grenades.

Oh, my bad, I did it again. Sorry: Matt Ryan.

The Ryan apologists are everywhere. Ready to pounce. To tell you he's in the same elite tier as Cam Newton and Russell Wilson and Drew Brees. They'll stomp their feet and cross their arms and insist on it.

 

And surely, they will call Ryan and the Falcons' season opener against the Eagles a battle. They'll say they took the defending Super Bowl champions down to the last play of the game before losing 18-12 in a sloppily played game that in the end was fun.

They'll say Ryan deserves credit for taking the Eagles down to the final moments. Eat that, haters.

But let me ask a question.

Do you really trust this quarterback? Do you really trust this Falcons team?

Meg Ryan, she is a better actress than quarterback

Falcons fans think they got the best deal by signing her for over $30M/year once Rodgers deal became official
