Just a question I thought worth discussing. Matt Ryan has a reputation as a very good QB, and he has always had a lot of talent around him. Then this year, he loses out the production he has always had out of the running game, due to Turner getting old and leaving, and SJ being injured almost all year. Also add in the fact that Julio and Roddy missed most of the year, and also a very old Tony G. Then you got this year from him. Sub par year, and the teams record went way down. For the majority of the year, Harry Douglas was his number 1 WR, who isn't great, but I think most would agree he would've be an upgrade over any #1 WR Sam has had thus far in his career.
So here are the questions...
Is Matt Ryan that good?
OR
Does he thrive because he has had some of the top playmaking talent around him for his entire career?
I think that he is a very good QB. Yea, he needs weapons around him, but every QB needs something. Yea, some point out Russel Wilson and how they win. Yea that is true, but do they have a dominant offense? No. Do they win solely because of Russell Wilson? No. What the Seahawks lack in WRs, they more than make up for in their dominant defense and top notch running game. The fact is very few QBs can do it on their own. I would say Peyton Manning would be the only one, and even he has had tremendous WR talent around him his entire career. Brady would be up there to. What he did this year, despite numbers being down, was amazing.
Would Matt Ryan have the same amount of wins or numbers, if he and Sam switched places?
I think this year alone proves that he wouldn't have.
