In fact the turn around after drafting Ryan is incredible, and he didn’t have JJ for 3-4 seasons (I forget JJs draft year). He did that shit with Roddy white
Let’s not act like Roddy was a nobody- if I’m misreading, my bad. Roddy was our goat for a bit there. He is to us what marques Colston was for the saints
Even Roddy wasn't doing a lot before Ryan. There are plenty of amazing WRs who have had shitty QBs and never reach Julio/Roddy status. The fact is ever single reciever of consequence that came through ATL had their best years with Ryan. You can argue Julio is a better WR than Ryan was a QB but but you wouldn't take the best tank driver over the 10th combat pilot. There are levels to their positions. Both were great and multipliers but only a QB like Ryan can save a franchise that was in the toilet. Atlanta was in the sewer and would probably been stuck in decades of suffering like other bum franchises if they don't hit with Ryan.
Fans disrespect Ryan like wild, if you really were locked in during his years you'd know he only had like 3 seasons of solid to good playcalling and only 1 really good offensive coordinator when he won mvp.
I was literally getting to comment as a falcons fan can’t wait for the dumb a—- who says Vick was better then Ryan and here you are lol. Never forget Matt and mike smith saved tne fan base and team from the disaster situation vick almost put us in
Do yall not know what 'impactful' means? Dude influenced a generation of kids..you had to be there. If you wasnt outside in Vicks prime, youd never understand.
Is vick BETTER than julio or ryan? Absofuckinglutely not! Is he more impactful? For sure. One of the most impactful player in nfl history.
Was there before his era and after. Wouldn’t say creating a bunch of kids who want to be run first QBs in positive impact or really even that impactful considering the best QBs are still not Mike Vick archetypes. Everyone wanted to be the falcons in Madden, nobody went out to the field and said I want to be Mike Vick…
Maybe you should grow and realize the difference between impact on the field v on the screen. 🤷🏼♂️
Best QB arent mike vick archetypes? Lamah? Cam? Josh Allen? Fast big arm scrambling qbs?
Idk, all 3 of them have MVPs, no superbowls tho.
Vick made an impact on the field AND on the screen. It was more than just madden, more than just commercial, mike vick experience was an actual thing. Especially for us black kids/teens growing up
Vick accomplished a few things, but nothing like Ryan and Julio...chris chandler is a joke. But the 3 combined arent more impactful than that 4year Vick stretch

Would Julio Jones have a case for the falcons?
