There is no way Sam Ehlinger with a bad line is better than broken down Matt Ryan with a bad line.

Jets should give them a 7th for Ryan tbh.

They wasted Luanne on Lucky!

She could of have been so much more but the writers just didn't care!
I wonder if he'd be doing better if he'd swallowed his pride and stayed on the Falcons? Is their line any better?

...you forget so easily...
A 6th round previously injured rookie over Foles seems like a very bold move. Was the plan he'd take over after Ryan and he's the future QB or is this Indy grasping at straws?

Breer had in his MMQB column this morning that "league scouts" were saying that Ryan's arm is cooked and he's struggling to get the ball where he wants. Then this 2 hours later.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10031029-matt-ryan-explains-colts-trade-after-falcons-didnt-acquire-deshaun-watson

quote:

"It became clear when Deshaun did not come, it was on me to let them know that I wanted to seek other options," Ryan said. "I told [owner] Arthur Blank that and he was great about it. The first one I wanted to explore was Indianapolis. I think the mindset really changed after the meeting that I had with Chris Ballard and Frank Reich."

Ryan added that coach Arthur Smith and the entire organization were upfront about the pursuit of Deshaun Watson, who ultimately chose to go to the Cleveland Browns. While he noted there was a level of "disappointment" with the team exploring its options, Ryan said he knew he wanted to explore his own life outside the Falcons organization in the aftermath.

The Colts traded a 2022 third-round pick for Ryan, a surprisingly minimal haul for a player who has his name etched all over the Falcons record book.

The Colts saw no improvement from getting Ryan. The Commanders saw no improvement from getting Wentz. The Panthers saw no improvement by getting Baker. The Broncos saw no improvement from getting Russ. The Browns TBD.

Falcons are better off dumping Ryan than keeping him, and the Seahawks are playing WAY better than with Russ.

What a time to be alive.

Matt Ryan is probably worse than Joe Flacco too, certainly when being acquired in the middle of a season.

This must especially sting after Ryan threw for almost 400 yards (do not look at the yards per attempt number) and 3 TDs to score a divisional win 2 weeks ago lol

(He is totally and obviously cooked but the timing is funny)

Joe Flacco has a better arm and more escapabilty than Matt Ryan. They're also the same age. mcmagic wanting him is very questionable.

2021 Ryan played pretty well. Better than Flacco has as a Jet. Maybe he's just done now and I didn't realize he had 2023 guarantees which I obviously wouldn't want to take.

Funny thing is, I can easily see Ryan being the starter again by December.

Ehlinger starts, plays awful for three or four weeks, even worse than Ryan. Colts turn to Foles, he gets injured after a few games. Matty Ice time again.

I assume this is because Herbert’s rib injury really limits his ability to throw accurately downfield and also just his ability to hang in and wait for those throws to develop.

I dunno, I feel like with Ekeler those dumpoffs are just an alternative way to hand him the ball. He's a small dude that they want to get in space.
