Tony Gonzales: Matt Ryan's not an Elite QB

[rayzor]

game manager that can't put his team on his back.

 

he's good. he'll never be elite.

[Jangler]

He was promised a SB ring. Didn't get it and he is blaming Ryan. 

[hepcat]

Come play a season in Carolina, Tony.

[thunderraiden]

why? Cause you think so?

He no longer has a company line to consider.

He is ready to move on from foorball.

So now he isn'tentitled to his opinion?

 

This might put him on a fast track to being an analyst.

"You trade me to a team that needs me, that wants to make a serious run in the playoffs and the Super Bowl," Gonzalez said. "You get something in return for a guy who you know won't be here next year. And the season isn't going anywhere anyway. That's rational."

LOL, thank you Tony for stating the obvious but please don't tell the Falcons that because I like watching them suffer. 

[top dawg]

only manning and brady are in the playoffs EVERY year since the last 12+ seasons despite who is injured or deficiencies on their teams.  Rogers is getting there as well.  If you label too many guys as elite, well is elite really elite?  

 

Brees has put up more than 51000 yards and has been a champion. Though he hasn't gotten his team to the playoffs every year, he has been pretty consistent. Moreover I just can't separate the QB from the remainder of t team, because I know that that may make all the difference.   

 

 

[El Chingon]

I commend him on his honesty.

Did you guys know Gonzo played basketball? Lol

He also said he would sign with a contender for the "stretch run"

 

 

Let the speculation BEGIN!!!!

[jasonluckydog]

Somebody won't be receiving a Christmas card this year

So, while he was saying Matty "GTFO My Field" Ryan isn't an elite QB, you may have missed this part:

 

Appearing on ESPN's NFL Live Thursday, retired TE Tony Gonzalez left open the possibility that he'd sign with a contender for the "stretch run" in 2014.

 

Gonzalez insisted last month that he was "at peace" with his decision to retire, but the fact that he would even entertain such a hypothetical is proof that he's still not quite ready to call it a day for good. Gonzalez looked like a player who could play another two or three seasons in 2013, so this definitely won't be the last you hear about possible return scenarios. We've got a new Favre on our hands.
