Seriously? The 49ers have wonmultiple Super Bowls and at one point had the greatest QB and WR of all time on their team. And the Saints, except for last year, have been dominant with Drew Brees and have won a Super Bowl.
And the people saying Matt isn't Elite need to back that up. The stats say otherwise. Even with everything happening he is still in the top 10 of every meaningful QB stat.
• 8th in NFL in TD (10)
• 4th in NFL in CMP% (69.3)
• 7th in NFL in YDS (1,649)
• 6th in NFL in RAT (100.9)
I don't play the "blame the QB for everything" game. You gotta judge the player what they do and not what their team does. That's why Barry Sanders is considered the best RB ever even though the Detroit Lions never did anything meaningful while he was playing. And why Dan Marino is a Hall of Famer even though he never won a Super Bowl.
If Matt Ryan was having his own personal melt down like Shaub in Texas then I would have a different opinion. But he's not. He's playing well despite the collapse of the offense around him. And now he's about to have a couple of street people he'll be throwing to. Let's see what happens.
