Watch the game and tell me what you think. And don't just wait for the stat sheet to come in before making your opinion. If he was a Packer you'd have a life-sized poster up on your wall and a shrine dedicated to him in your closet! You’re getting way too technical.

Somebody wants me to put away the annointing oil when it comes to Matt Ryan...waaaaaa! By saying that he's "amazing" you're going to have every Tom, Dick and Harry tuning in expecting to see a rocket arm, great wheels or whatever. Like I said, his season has been amazing, and Matt Ryan has been amazing for a rookie, but he's just an above average QB right now. And that's amazing, given his lack of experience. But it's hard to watch a game and tell if a guy is 23 or 32. Waaaaa! Somebody wants me to put away the annointing oil when it comes to Matt Ryan…waaaaaa!

Yeah, he's just an above-average NFL QB - if you want to compare a rookie to every veteran in the league. To me, starting 16 games as a rookie and leading a team (that some predicted to win one or two games this season) to an 11-5 record and the playoffs is amazing. But if you want to crack out the stats (and Lord knows you probably will!), then Ryan does probably grade out to above-average. Why do you want to rain on my parade, JP?

While I fully realize that, for a rookie, Ryan's year has been amazing, at this point isn't he just an above-average NFL QB? Before you lambaste me, take your Falcons goggles off for a second and look at this objectively. :-) Isn’t “amazing” kind of a strong word?
