Swifty,

I actually like what you bring to the messageboard in some respects - I cannot stand the guys that think "everything is rosy" in Flowery Branch - ALL-THE-FREAKIN' TIME!!! Clearly the Falcons are a playoff team but not upper-echelon playoff team right now - several weaknesses and it won't be easy to fix.

Having said all of that, and - here comes the "BUT".........You are running this Aaron Rodgers/Matt Ryan thing - straight into the damn ground!

Everybody for the most part - agrees that Aaron Rodgers is on "another level" above Matt Ryan right now.

Q: Can Matt ever be what Aaron Rodgers is?
A: Doubtful

I personally don't think Matt is ever going to have a strong arm - he just is not gifted that way.

Randy Johnson struck people out throwing the ball 98mph
Greg Maddux struck people out by nibbling edges and outthinking the hitter

Matt Ryan is more like Greg Maddux
Aaron Rodgers is more like Randy Johnson

The way Matt quarterbacks is not aesthetically pleasing and it probably never will be. He just "gets it done" most of the time in the regular season. In playoffs, Matt has struggled moreso because he's facing superior opponents.

I think Matt Ryan will continue to progress. I think his deep ball will get better but it will never be great. I think the Atlanta Falcons can win a SuperBowl with Matt Ryan at the helm but I don't think Matt will ever be a 4,500yd and 35TD/yr kind of guy. If that is what you require, you best move on......
