So I’m going to throw this out here, saw an article positing that the Falcons can’t do better than Ridder at this point in the season (correct) and we’re stuck with him. It then listed Matt Ryan as one of the top FA QBs available.
I know it isn’t happening. I don’t necessarily even think it would be good because he’s a statue now. And for some ungodly reason I cannot explain, I still find myself believing in Ridder’s upside. But for the sake of conversation, how would everyone feel as fans if he made a Cam Newton-esque return?
Matt Ryan was done when he last played for us and then Indy. He was once great but old man time always wins. He’s a statue in the pocket, if someone lays a finger on him he goes down and he just didn’t have it anymore at the end. With that said, I’ll always be grateful for Ryan’s tenure with the Falcons.
