How did Vick give us more of a chance at a SB than Ryan?

Re: Falcons and Ryan agree to new deal
 

All this talk about Ryan when, IMO, Bartowski was the best QB Atlanta ever had and their best shot at a Superbowl was in the late '70s/early '80s ... and that little foray, circa 1998, when they were actually in the building on official business, :mrgreen:.

... and there we have it, :mrgreen:. It's not quite the same as a "Defend your HANDLE!" thread post, but is has the same affect, eh?

Defend your HANDLE!

How? He hasn't shown me that he'll stop getting better.

Re: Falcons and Ryan agree to new deal
 

As a Falcons fan I think his contract was fair and exactly what anyone who doesn't have a better option available to sign or draft should expect to pay...lets be honest, the only QB's in the NFL that we would prefer to have over Ryan are not ever going to become free agents and last year's draft and the QB talent that came out of it is more of an aberration than the norm...it was the best QB class since the Marino, Elway class and there have been exponentially more busts than stars drafted in the first round as QBs...if you have a guy you can't replace you pay him big money.

Re: Falcons and Ryan agree to new deal
 

any team that has a QB they can't replace through free agency or draft next year will pay more than we did...its just the nature of the beast imo.

Without Matt Ryan the team would fall apart.

You saw how improved he was last year from 2012.
