Falcons coordinator calls Matt Ryan a Top 10 quarterback

saintfan · 08-01-2012, 12:55 PM

Brees
Brady
Manning
Manning
Rivers
Rogers
Schaub
Flacco
Stafford
Romo

There's 10 right there who I think are better than Matt Ryan, and I'd say that about Matt Ryan regardless of who he plays for, it's just more fun to say it about him because he's a Failclown.

What hammers me is the media, ESPN in particular, and John Clayton to be specific, calling Skid Britches "Elite". IMO Brees, Brady, Rogers, P Manning, and MAYBE Rivers, are "Elite". Matt Ryan doesn't even sniff elite.

Is he top 15? Maybe. But top 15 ain't top 10, and it sure as hell isn't "elite".

He has stats that say top 10 all over him. Once again, his only stat outside top 10 is completion percentage. and he finished 11th there.

Completion percentage is arguably the most important stat for a QB. So there you go. Then again, if he were to complete 80% of his passes and continue to choke in big games, well, I guess you get the point.

And yes, I think Facoo is better than Ryan. I think Stafford is better than Ryan. I think Romo is better than Ryan too. Neither of those three is "elite", and Ryan sure as hell isn't elite.

Flacco's completion percentage is below Matt Ryan's... 57.6%

As for Matt Ryan not completing 80 percent of his passes... Only Drew Brees had even a 70% (71.2) completion percentage. I think only Aaron Rodgers came close(68.3). 60% is considered above-average, an Matt Ryan is at 61%. The the qbs in the top 10-5 had about 61%-65%

Matt Ryan is 11th in completion percentage at 61.3, Brees had 71.something and Rodgers is way behind at 68.something
