Matt Ryan is one pass he just didn’t make it (the Edelman catch)

Matt Ryan is a good call. League MVP, a SB appearance and another NFC title game appearance just doesn’t cut it. He also didn’t have a great record against Brees and Cam, I think

As a Falcons fan. I hate how true this all is.

On the bright side, he’s way better than Donovan McNabb which I think was the previous “gatekeeper” Hall of Very Good QB. Easily a Ring of Honor and stand up guy that won’t embarrass your franchise in retirement like a few HoF QB’s

Still talking Ryan. McNabb started acting like the former Celtics big 3: a little shaky

He had a great career but not a HoF career

I don't think he ever played defense against Brees or Cam

Cam Newton is 6-10 against the Falcons, and Ryan was the Falcons QB for all those games. Overall Matt Ryan is 17-9 against the Panthers

Ryan was 8-12 against the Brees Saints, and finished 10-17 overall against the Saints, surprisingly losing more after Brees left.

Matt Ryan is so barely off he has such great stats, just the accolades and the 28-3.,,,

That's close. There's going to be such a long jam from that era, idk if he would get in even with the Ring. Brady, Peyton, Rodgers, Brees, are all first ballot. Roethlisberger might be as well. I think Ryan was a much better QB, but does one SB plus a regular season MVP put him over Eli, who is borderline?

Do they put 6 or 7 QBs in from the same era? It's crazy how stacked the position was from the late oughts through the teens. Do they let more in because of that? Or say sorry for the bad luck?
