Meanwhile, Matt Ryan...

[Saca312]

...is putting up some interesting numbers despite a 1-5 record.

Just interesting how despite Matt Ryan's seemingly statistical success, the Falcons are 1-5

Goes to show that QB play can be overrated. A good defense and running game can win you a lot of games no matter who your QB is. Likewise a terrible defense and running game can lose you a lot of games even with a great QB

 

[Ivan The Awesome]

How's his Oline doing?

[WOW!!]

This is what happens when a team puts alot of resources into putting everything they can around their QB . And forget the other 2 phases of a football team..

But reality is Ryan needs all these weapons and a perfect oline to have success.. He can't carry a team without it..

 

[GoobyPls]

More than half of those numbers are in garbage time. 

 

Just like Iike last season the garbage time king is undisputed 

[LinvilleGorge]

When you're a defensive specialist head coach and your D is ranked #26 while your O is ranked #7 and you're 1-5... yeah, that's how you get fired mid-season.

Ryan's playing his ass off. 

The defense is bad, the good players are all dead, and the coach is a dead man walking. 

Never understood this board's hardon for Matt Ryan. Guy takes as much a beating as Cam and just keeps plugging along.

Matt Ryan puts up the most deceiving stats of any QB I've ever seen by far.

You look at the stats at the end of the game and it blows you away.  You actually watch him play and it's like you never see him do anything meaningful the entire game.

Dude is the GOAT of useless stats.

Stats just lie. Especially individual ones for a QB.  Matt Ryan is a good fantasy QB.  Not a good real life QB this year. 

I mean a QB can play bad.  Poorly manage a game.  Help their team get behind.  Then.....well they can throw for a lot of yardage as there team trails.  Ryan has put up a lot of stats in the 2nd half trailing this year

Atlanta should get ready for the rebuild.

Ryan and Julio are both on the wrong side of 30. 

There's not many pieces on that team to build around.

The Patriots killed them.

He and Stat Padford are 1A and 1B, in that regard. Kurt Cousins is up there too.

That is what I mean, Ryan is performing great right now and if anyone would draw a sizeable trade package, it would be him.  Julio might be tougher due to the huge contract he just signed.

Oakland might be a good trading partner for Atlanta.  Raider GM LOVES Ryan and the Raiders are not that far off from being a playoff team.

Exactly this. Ryan is one of the most overrated QBs in a long time, precisely because stats lie.
