eglz1 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Quote Add Matt Ryan to the lengthy list of quarterbacks changing uniforms in 2022. The longtime Atlanta signal-caller is leaving Georgia for Indianapolis after the Colts agreed to trade a third-round pick (No. 82 overall) in April's draft to the Falcons, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported Monday. Until Monday, Ryan's standing within the Falcons franchise remained unchanged since he arrived as the third-overall pick in 2008. He was drafted to be Atlanta's franchise quarterback and became just that, earning four Pro Bowl nods, a first-team All-Pro selection, and winning NFL Most Valuable Player honors in 2016, a season in which he led the Falcons to the Super Bowl. As faces have changed, Ryan has remained the constant for over 10 years. Now, he's trading red and black for the Colts' blue and white. https://www.nfl.com/news/matt-ryan-colts-falcons-trade-2022-third-round-pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vee Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Yikes, someone gave up a 3rd for this well-past-his-prime QB? I guess when you have a running game as strong as Indy does, that buys you the extra 3-5 seconds Ryan now needs to read a defense and release the ball. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave up a 1st and a 3rd for a QB who had been pretty much the worst in the NFL that year too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LacesOut Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Colts going for it. Again. Still looking to replace Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procus Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Looks like a solid short term solution for Indy. Ryan's better than anyone they've had since Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we're gonna find out....if the bar wasn't so low, I'd bet you money on that.... I've watched him play. He just seems like an old man out there. Yeah, he can still throw the ball, he just looks like he has to wind up now to make the throws. He really looks slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Phillip Rivers part deux. Matt Ryan scares absolutely nobody at this stage in his career, if he ever did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipples Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I honestly think Ryan has always been overrated. Now he’s washed up and not even his usual slightly above average self. No idea what the Colds would want him. The fact they wanted Carson out and Matt effing Ryan is their replacement says a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never been the biggest Matt Ryan fan, but he did have an MVP year. That was pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan has been consistently above average. He had an MVP year when he was at his peak on a loaded offense with a brilliant OC. At this age and point, he's just consistently very average with painfully little upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
