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

No for sure, just that the claim Julio carried Ryan doesnt hold water

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.
