And my point is that none of them had the offensive talent that Matt Ryan has/ had for them to be as inconsistent as they are. So while I'm not doubting they had some bad games, Matt Ryan has had far too many bad games with a lot better talent. Give Aaron, Peyton, Russell Wilson, Tom Brady and Drew Brees Julio, Prime Roddy, (when he was in the league over thousand yard rusher Mike Turner) Tony Gonzales and they destroy the league. Yes you're right some team would get suckered into taking Matt. They sold the farm for Julio because they believed it would take the Fraud to the next level, 3 years later back to square one

facts are facts man. Matt Ryan is consistently a top ten finisher in all major passing categories. He's played well and hasn't been in the best of circumstances but you clearly don't follow football so I'll break it down for you:

Are you going to act as though the Falcons haven't had an absolutely putrid offensive line? Why was Jake Matthews drafted 6th overall in 2014, one draft removed from being a play away from the bowl? I'll tell you why, Matt Ryan was sacked the third most times during the 2013 season. How can a QB excel when the pocket is constantly collapsing? Idgaf how good your weapons are. you need protection. The cowboys showed this past season how much better a team can be with an elite oline. Give any of those guys you listed the same shytty olines it will be a struggle to win games. Atlanta haven't even had a rushing attack as of late. Last 1000 yard rusher was in 2011. Last time someone averaged over 4 yds a carry too. None of those guys you listed have been sacked or pressured as much the past two seasons excpet maybe russell. Even more, the Falcons lost 5 offensive lineman, 4 starters to season ending injuries this past season as well. Like I said earlier too, the Falcons haven't been a top 20 defense since the season they went to the NFL championship game. Lol they were dead last in defense this past season bro. I guess that's on Matt Ryan too. Drew Brees had the 2nd worst d in the league. Look at what the saint did. The bears were third worst with all their offense. In spite of all this dude is still finishing at or near the top in almost every major passing category, yards, completion percentage, tds all that. What are you saying? How is that fraudulent?

Pretty much any white QB that wasnt really all that in college but all of a sudden was made into a high draft franchise savior in the NFL because they had the "right tools". Ie. Christian Ponder, Blaine Gabbert, Jacke Locker. I knew Bradford would be a bust too, dude was soft in college but could all of sudden take a beating in the NFL? Hell nah....
remember when they said gabbert was better than cam:wow::mjlol:

I remember dikkie V and these white college basketball analysts being high on him. They even said he'd change the game :mjlol:. 6'ers took him over Penny :why:. Seriously, how do you not take Penny, who was a beast a Memphis, over a frail white dude.

That draft had a lot of busts/disappointments. Rodney Rogers, Dehere, Calbert, Hurley. After Webber, Cassel and Van Exel had the best careers.
that dude was what, 7 feet 4 or some shyt?

Cody is the only one of these ppl that would be considered busts relative to where they were drafted, and he's in the middle of his second season. The rest have performed as well or better than the average for where they were drafted

Darius Heyward-Bey for the Raiders. I remember watching that draft with my uncle

Once it was announced and the raiders made the selection at #7....He blurted out "WHOOOOO THAT nikka!"? :why:

He then looked at me and started :laff::banderas::umad:


All I could do was just :to::mindblown::wow:



God rest Al Davis soul but that was a horrible ass pick. We could've gotten Jeremy Maclin instead. DHB was a great athlete and was fast which was why Al wanted to get him but I'm he wasn't on no team's radar in the early rounds. Biggest reach ever...He sucked

All excuses, that are tired. he didn't have crappy lines prior to 2012 and they were still barely escaping games or not even showing up. Yes Matt Ryan is a top ten stat padder that will never win Atlanta A Super Bowl. Maybe if the Fraud didn't need all the weapons to keep frauding it up maybe they could have a defense :camby: And since Facts are Facts he's had Weapons most NFL qb's would love to have and still can't get it done. going into 8th year and a new coach to blame for his eventual failure. Matt Ryan is an issue. Russell Wilson has a crappy line and not even top 20 recievers still throwing pretty game winning TD passes still helping Seattle Win a Super Bowl in his 3rd year.

See this one surprised me. I knew this dude didn't have a definite position in the league, but I liked his size, court awareness and decent mid-range game coming out of college. Taking him #2 overall was always questionable, but I really thought he'd at least be a 20-ish minute guy off the bench spelling 3s and 4s.

You addressed nothing I said. You act like finding a quality franchise QB is easy. When the team has been clicking he's led them to wins. You can't ignore or call statistically bad play at other key spots an excuse. It's a reality.
