The one thing I find interesting in all of the Matt Ryan comparisons to Matthew Stafford is that no one seems to remember that Matt Ryan was a 5 year senior at Boston College and went into the NFl close to 24 years old. Matthew on the other hand turned 21 after he was drafted into the NFL (I believe it was after the draft). Matthew does have a lot of maturing to do in the NFL but I do believe he will become a great NFL quarterback. He really could use some help though. (offensive line, more wide receivers, a better defense)! Just got around to reading this piece (yeah, piece of what?).

You have guys like Tebow and McCoy who profess love of the college team BEFORE they chose them. Of course they want to play in the NFL, but their dream was to play QB at Florida or Texas, respectively. Stafford always had his heart set on the NFL. He didn't choose UGA because he always wanted to be a Bulldog, he chose them because he was sold on the best pro-style offense that would get him pro ready. Growing up in Texas UGA was not his team to cheer for and his heart was never really here, Don't get me wrong, I am glad he came here but I agree with Mark, Tebow is twice the college player Stafford was because he wanted it more (ever see Stafford cry in front of cameras after a regular season loss?). Stafford will be the better pro for the same reason (plus the big arm). Stafford is showing heart in the NFL because that is where his heart always was.

It's time to pull the plug on this season and get ready to dump payroll, wait for the draft and rebuild from scratch. Draft a quarterback with a "TRUE" NFL arm. It's really going to be hard because the "brilliant" GM gave away a 2nd round draft pick for an aging tight end. Instead of using that draft pick for a tight end that can grow with the team, it will be 2 holes left open when he retires. Then the great GM cuts his whole starting defense and leadership and drafts damaged goods in 1st and 2nd round picks. To make matters worse, the players he cut, most of them will be in the playoffs this season........... Brooking with the Cowboys Boley with the Giants Vick with the Eagles Foxworth with the Ravens Instead of taking the team to New England style success, he has taken them to Raiders style regression. The Dimitroff/Smith/Ryan tandem is a bust! A true leader takes responsibility for his poor play.

Matt Ryan better perform because people like me are begining to not like a player that the media hypes up and makes excuses for his poor play.
