But he had the same weapons and offensive line in 2008. Except he actually has an elite TE now. I would expect his numbers to surpass his 2008 numbers. I wouldn't really be all that content with him matching his '08 numbers, those were great great numbers... for a rookie QB.

The Falcons offensive line played over its head that year. They have not played nearly as well in 2010 as they did in 2008. The Falcons were also fortunate in 2008 in that they played a really soft schedule.
