There's nothing to say. Ryan will have MVP and SB MVP in one year. That puts him in the running for sportsman of the year period. Ryan has elevated his game while Flacco has regressed.

Sadly, true.

Said this for years.

 

Question is, what do people start saying about Ryan vs Flacco WHEN he wins it all this year.

Elite?

I hope the Ravens FO watches this and realizes that when talent is talent, just GO FOR IT. That's what the Falcons did with Julio. "Value" is overrated.

I believe in "value" i.e. not overpaying. It seemed to work in baseball; see Moneyball. However, you are right, you need playmakers and sometimes you just need to "pay the man".

Neal and Jones 2016
Beasley, Collins and Jarrett 2015

have all been good this year, some of them were beasting

They also have a HC who hand-picked the players and is actually coaching them

Thanks! but this "coaching" you speak of; what is this thing called "coaching"?

Did they just say the ATL defense has 3 starters from this draft and four from the prior???

But how much more wear and tear can he endure? He doesn't ever need money again, and him having 5 rings would in many people's eyes(not my own) would solidfy his status as the greatest QB in NFL history. 

 

Just saying. I think he might retire. He's gonna fall off at some point. 

Sometimes the fall off comes suddenly.

Is the FOX crew actually sitting on the sideline, or was that super imposed?

Super Bowl winner hopes :

 

1.gb

2.atl

3.ne

4.nobody

Good one. I would put "nobody" in positions 3 & 4.

If it's the Steelers, then I think the Falcons win. 

I prefer to see that, than see the Pats win another one.

ATL had no worries about the clock. How do they do that.

WOW

 Wonder if Green Bay defenders know they can hit Ryan?

I think they know they cant!!

Not sure what Rogers was seeing there 

Hope for a DPI

Not that he would.

Did someone say injustice?

I think Zach Orr could hold a discussion on that.

Guess we could have had Peppers.

Alex Mack hurt

We'll see what that means.

That's a safety!

 

he had possession at the 1 and rolled into the endzone

I think they will say the momentum carried him. I think he saw he was on the one and decided to roll into the endzone.

The league wants Rodgers vs. Brady in the worst way.

I'd rather see Ben & Ryan. That way we can see how the Falcons would fare in the AFC North.

Just weird seeing a running back wearing #88. 

Yes, but he wears it well.

Ryan has a very good chance of winning both league MVP and SB MVP. When was the last time that happened?

I'm going with Kurt Warner quite a while back.

Yeah it is especially, when that QB has the ability to make his reads quickly and doesn't under and overthrow open receivers.  But I digress! 

 

In an alternate universe of quantum physics we could see Flacco in Atlanta and Ryan here. Then we would have the clear answer to all our questions. I think Flacco would look good in Atlanta and Ryan would still have happy feet here.

How do so many receivers get so wide open?

Glad we got Justin Tucker!

Former Raven applies pressure to QB.
