On the other hand with Ryan at QB, the team could play too well to get the #1 overall. Best they could do would be bench Ryan so they lose more, but that would be a tough move to make. Could try and trade him at the deadline, but likely they'd get a much better offer in the off season if they wait. Age only factors in because Ryan is Ryan and not Tom Brady. Ryan can go no further than he has as a QB.

Agree Can't play a few more years at current level Disagree He's looked good, could see him playing a few more years and looking good at it. 1
Royale with Cheese Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 He grew up like an hour from Atlanta too.

I wish we had the Jets final game of the year again, with the option to hand them a cheap W. I can see putting Barkley in with instructions to throw a pick six on every play. Why not? 🤷♂️ Could be the funniest thing EVER in the NFL! I hope the Jet’s DB’s would have too much pride to just knock it down. Goodell may have to earn that mountain of cash every year!
Rc2catch Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 I agree Ryan is spent. But you can argue he’s never been all that great. Guy has ran what seems like 10 different offensive playbooks as much as they’ve switch coordinators. He’s been good in 1-2 of those systems. They can win now (meaning next year) I think they still have a tiny window with Ryan Julio and Ridley and even Gurley looking back to form a little. If the new regime can coach defense and groom a quarterback they’re not in nearly as bad of shape as some of these other teams.
Mat68 Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 I trade Julio by the deadline this season and Ryan at the opening of FA. They should be right their for Lawerence or Fields.
NewEra Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 1 hour ago, Mr. WEO said: he just fired them all. And then he and McKay will hire new ones and they’ll make the decision on ryan 1 hour ago, Mark Vader said: He's that good? Don't get me wrong, he is a talented QB, I just don't know if he's a prototype. I think he’s the prototype as well. Not sure I’ve seen a prospect that had it all like him as a freshman. Last year was a disappointment but I still see his “it” factor.

Eddiegoofball Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 This reminds me a little of when we traded a first for a running on empty Drew Bledsoe in 2003. Someone who thinks they are a quarterback away is gonna trade a 1st rounder for Ryan in the offseason... and regret it a few years later. Thank goodness we have Josh.

If that happens in Buffalo, people wouldn’t talk about the building across the street that was burning down. “Did you hear? Who do we get?” They would be shouting over the sounds of the sirens.

Lawrence is a generational can’t miss number one like an Elway or Luck. Ehhh he is definently talented but so far in his career he has been a huge disappointment. He has been really good dont get me wrong but he is not what everyone expected.

Then another championship game his sophomore year, albeit a loss. 29-1 record, 76 passing touchdowns to 12 ints, throw in another 14 rushing... sounds like a huge disappointment... Wouldn’t you kill for any Syracuse QB to have these stats? 😂😂 1
ProcessTruster Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 9 hours ago, Doc Brown said: You're right. I didn't realize he still had that many years left on his contract and I don't see them trading away that contract. That will be a problem for whoever the next regime is. Hey no sympathy, they had their window of SB readiness , got there and were crushing the Pats in the SB, then blew it. So they had their shot. Its over now., time to rebulid again.

H2o Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 10 hours ago, Aussie Joe said: I was looking at his contract yesterday... 2 years left as not sure they will be able to trade him.. Also, the Falcons aren’t as bad as the Jets.. .so they May need to be looking at someone else.. This is true. The dead cap would be enormous if they get rid of him before 2023 without some kind of restructure. I had said I thought he would end up in SF, but that was before looking at this contract. I don't see any way financially they could move him unless there is some kind of massive restructure involved to lessen the hit. The Falcons are another team that has handed out some really questionable contracts at times over recent years. 1
Chuck Wagon Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Lawrence grew up less than an hour outside of Atlanta, from a marketing standpoint for the team it would be a bonanza to draft him. As others have mentioned, it seems financially impossible to move Ryan. But I would have to believe both Dallas and Washington and maybe San Fran and Chicago would be interested. Personally I think Ryan is just about washed.
NoSaint Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 I think the comment blew up a bit more than needed. An owner saying he isn’t in charge of personnel decisions isn’t all that noteworthy. I’d be surprised if they ditch him this year unless they have the #1 pick which I dont think they will.
