I said before this draft that Colin Kaepernick will go down as the best QB taken...I stand by that.

We need to trade Matt for Colin K. and a 2nd rounder.

SF gets a QB that would work wonders in their system, and we get a QB that will take advantage of 1 on 1 coverage on the outside. And a QB that has the mobility to maneuver around the pocket when it breaks down.

I guarantee you, Colin K. would be a beast for the Falcons.

I think you need to go take your meds.

Why? Colin K. has all the physical tools to be just as good as Aaron Rodgers. With some good coaching the guy will be great.

It's totally out of the realm of possibility, why even discuss it?

Coop your opinion wont be very popular here but I agree with about 90% of it, and I salute for having the balls to say it.
I've been saying Ryan is missing something. Sure he has talent but there's something missing. That something that Brady, Big Ben, Stafford, and Brees have.
Despite what people think. This team is Turners team.. his success dictates our team succces.
I personally believe Ryan has adopted the mild mannered nature ofthe his coaches.

A coaching change maybe all he needs

It makes no sense to stop blaming the cause and point the finger at something that's a result of the problem instead.

Matty has no confidence in his O-line and it's causing him to be timid, have happy feet, be off on timing, be less accurate, stop checking progressions to run and/or roll out and toss it out of bounds. It's called fear. It makes you look and play much worse than you're capable of. And he's got every right to be fearful.

Mularkey's plays and play calling are fucking horrible. A dozen or so unique and unpredictable plays for good gains in the first half and then we don't run a single one of those plays again afterwards is a coaching problem.

And BVG's prevent conservative shit is beyond bad and takes away from the offense too. When you're pressing because you know your defense is hot garbage if you put them back on the field, you're even more susceptible to mistakes.

Matty has made all the plays to win before and put this team on his shoulders countless times and lead them to victory in several big games and a bunch of incredible come-backs. Now all of a sudden he's just said fuck it, this isn't important, I'm going to slack off, get worse at this and not be able to do it? No way is that the case. That's bullshit.

Great post. Matt more than anyone has put this team on his back and won games for us we had no business winning. The fact is our quiver is getting low, and teams know the plays we are going to make before the snap. We've been figured out and it's forcing Matt in bad situations. Obviously the playcalling isn't the only issue, we are fundamentally unsound, we make stupid mistakes, but honestly, I don't think it's because our players are a bunch of bums, (except Baker, Dunta, and Bosher, of course). I honestly think the tightly wound, conservative, passive culture this coaching staff instills in the team is the #1 reason we are where we are.

Go back to Madden. Quit being stupid. I'm not going to waste any energy explaining to you just how retarded of a suggestion that is.

What else is there to discuss? The same ol' things we always discuss?

Ok here we go:

Matt Ryan doesn't throw deep balls because he cant. He doesn't even have the self-confidence to pull the trigger, so why should we as fans have the confidence in him? Julio and Roddy in 1 on one coverage on the outside should have been taken advantage of. Teams have figured Ryan out. When a defense is giving you single coverage on the outside w/ receivers like Roddy and Julio, because they know you wont take advantage of it, there is a problem.

That statement doesn't hold up to scrutiny. We've won plenty of times without Turner going off. He's had games where he's had one good run, but other than that, Ryan has been the driver of this offense.

You say he can't. Yet we've seen him do it, ergo we know he can.

His completed deep balls are usually over the middle. Someone else correctly noted elsewhere that our deep routes are along the sidelines. Assuming Ryan has a problem hitting deep routes on the sidelines, that's a scheme issue, not an arm issue.
