I kind of agree but Matt Ryan is pretty much done.  Personally I think they need to move on and probably should of last year.

I think Atlanta (me too!) kind of got fooled by this idea that modern day QBs can play at a high level into their late 30s or beyond. Brady, Brees, Rivers, to a lesser extent Ben ... Ryan is kind of a Hall of the Very Good guy in his career, but some guys still fit the old aging pattern of earlier eras.

The Pats WRs are running very simplistic patterns and Mac is playing pitch and catch.     Geez.   

That’s true, and NE is stacking wins with a rookie QB. BB just dose what everyone talks about, getting the ball in his play makers hands.

It's amazing how Ryan went from NFL MVP with a 25 point lead in the Super Bowl to broken and unable to play football in basically 12 minutes of game time.

 

He was never good again after the SB

 

I can't help but feel for guys like that.  It's a bit like Norwood - those "so close" moments that don't pan out.

 

I'm sure athletes are wired differently, but I'd be a mess w/ stuff like that.

Well, when you’ve had the ***** beaten out of you and you’re in your 30s, it’s harder and harder to recover

 

He’s been sacked more than 40 times a year for the last 3 years.  Led the league with 48 in 2018.  

Right up there in QB hits too.

 

You can tell Aikman is torn between admiration, sympathy, and horror
