Falcons: Is Matt Ryan one of the top 10 "PLAYERS" left in the NFL Postseason right now?

I know you're not a fan of Matt Ryan....its been evident, but if you don't think that Ryan's meaning to the Falcons and also his stats don't match the top 3 players on that list this year, then you're just delusional and can't admit when you're wrong, even if yo only think its a 1 year thing.

Ryan had the best completion percentage of any QB this year. Only a biased person (or a fool, but I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt) would fail to recognize his success at the hardest position in football this year as worthy of recognition.

He was universally regarded as the first quarter MVP by the media, and with the exception of his numbers from the Arizona game (which he still won), was tops in most categories that matter. To say that the most important player on our team is not one of the 10 best players left amongst the 8 remaining teams is tantamount to admitting a missing chromosome.

True, but I think Lewis is better at tackling and Rice is better at avoiding San Diego tacklers while running to pick up a 4th and 29.

I saw this on the NFC South blog, there are only two QB's to post a 68% completion percentage with over 600 pass attempts. Matt Ryan this year and Drew Brees in 2011.

Matt Ryan is not even our best player . Roddy White is . The topic was the top 10 players left in playoffs . Ryan is not one of them in my opinion . Top 20 sure . All QBs are important . Russel Wilson is important to Sea success
but the argument wasn't important . It was top players in playoffs

and has it come down to that label him 1st quarter MVP

how about Ryan winning a MVP then we can talk . Brady , Rodgers , Peyton have they are also in playoffs and had better statistical seasons then Ryan this season . Yes Ryan had a nice comp % large part due to screens but he also had 14 ints

Matt Ryan was great this year outside couple of games . Ryan didnt have better statistical seasons then Brady , Rodgers or Peyton . He is in ball park but he has less TDs and more ints then rest

Matt Ryan now has to prove he can take next step when it counts most in playoffs . Ryan needs to step up

We wouldn't be where we are today if Luke McCown was starting.

I didn't say he had better. I said his stats match. You talk about just TD's and Int's because they help your argument.

You didn't mention passing yards and of course u discounted completion percentage.

But once again its not about the past. We all understand that he has to step up in the playoffs but it doesn't exclude him from being on that top 10 list.

You're severely underrating the skills of the McCownanator dudes straight baller clearly the best QB to ever see the sidelines of the Georgia Dome
