Other than that, you're not far off. The broadcast team flashed a stat in the 3rd quarter showing that the Falcons had attempted just one pass of 20+ yards up to that point. I saw Eli Manning attempt two deep passes in the same series just a while ago. You can't make explosive plays if you don't attempt them.

There's no evidence Ryan can consistently land a deep pass, because he's never done it consistently. Maybe he can but nobody knows because it's never happened, and until it does, it's not out of the question to wonder if he's even got the mustard to wing it with the big boys.
