The Rise And Fall Of Matt Ryan 

Feel bad for Ryan because that Superbowl was the absolute last chance for him to get a ring in his long career and the defense let him down

Matty Ice is one of my favorite QBs. That dude was special. He was scapegoated in that Super Bowl with that bad fumble, but the game wasn’t his fault. Quinn could have managed that game better with running and taking knees to kill the clock. The Pats would never have had enough time to get to 28 and Ryan would have a ring and a Super Bowl MVP under his belt.

Much respect to him, he's still done something that most people won't ever be able to do, and that's playing a full NFL career as a QB

I wish he could come back to Atlanta. He'd be a great leader in the locker room and could at least help guide Desmond in the right direction.

*Colts up 33-0* Matt Ryan: why do I hear final boss music?

Easily a hall of famer. There was no fall for Matt Ryan. The guy turned around a franchise. 28-3 was not his fault. He’s top 10 in every major passing category alltime in nfl history. NFL mvp. All pro

Matt Ryan will forever and always be an Atlanta legend, he was our franchise qb and we loved him, his connection and passes to julio jones were the highlight of our sundays, even though he doesnt have a SB ring he did a lot with what he had, and imo is hall of fame worthy bc of his impact on the falcons team, and he does have really good stats to help with that. He just could never finish it out strong and that isnt all his fault, that sb lost wasnt all on ryan, our defense sold too along with a miss block by our RB. He is a great and theres no denying that, love u matt

I remember Matt Ryan his rookie year 2008. I said he’s gonna be special, sucks he couldn’t get his ring when he had the chance but I always enjoyed watching him play with Julio Jones.

As a massive falcons fan, I will always appreciate Matty Ice for what he did for this franchise. The greatest QB in team history. He doesn’t deserve as much hate as he’s gotten. Will always be grateful for the great memories and all the 4th quarter comebacks he had for us.

Not sure he's hall of fame material, but he's absolutely Hall of The Very Good caliber. He helped Atlanta have a couple valid super bowl windows. One of the most respectable NFL careers you can ask for.

Matt Ryan has over 25% of all of the falcons wins in club history. Also, don't forget his first pass in his career was a touchdown.

Nice retrospective on Matt Ryan's career. I still wish he could've ended his career with a ring (argh), but his class, longevity, and professionalism earned him "QB1" status in the hearts of many a Falcon fan!

Matt Ryan doesn’t play defense. The Falcons defense is what let them down in the Super Bowl.

Statistically Matt Ryan is identical to Dan Marino

Even though he fell off after the Super Bowl, he still put up some impressive stats in his career

Teacher: Describe another way of saying you’re choking. Students: 28-3

He passed Marino who everyone says is a hof. So yes not a question about if he should get in

Yo us in Atlanta miss you big dawg ! We really do

Imagine saying a QB blew a lead and he never played a single snap on defense

Some people say that Matt Ryan is worthy of making the Hall of Fame, but I encourage those people to think again. He blew a 17-point lead in the NFC championship game, a 25-point lead in the Super Bowl, and an unprecedented 33-point lead to Minnesota last season, among others. When it was crunch time and his team needed a big defensive stop, he played awful defense. He is truly the worst defender of all time and that’s why it would be an insult for him to get even one Hall of Fame vote.

He’ll always be my king. Him and Freddie Freeman were my childhood.

He randomly turned up for to 28th birthday as he had booked a table with his own friends, spoke more to him than that night than my dad, who missed the 3rd birthday of mine in a row

Should’ve won that Super Bowl. Matt got up 28-3 and the defense let him down

Bro I actually love watching your videos I legit be waiting for you to post more and more nfl videos I just love you view on the league reminds me a lot of my viewpoint of players on the league I need more and more of yo content my boy

Love your video J&D and keep up the great work

Matt was one of the best QB's of his era with a full complement of professional accolades and stats to go with it. At the end of the day, football is a team sport with a lot of factors that influence the outcome, and it's for darn sure Matt didn't choke in the SB. He put up one of the best SB performances by a QB in the game's history. I never saw a greater QB that people refused to love. There were years in ATL when he and Julio were all the team really had.

As a Falcons fan, matt was the man and deserved a super bowl!!

Love you brother even though you pissed me off for that Super Bowl loss man it hurt first time feeling so down about a game

As a falcon fan i been with matty ice since his incredible rookie season 🙌🏽 👏🏽... no doubts he should be in the hof . Pure passer with incredible accuracy.. almost won a supwrbowl with a average defense .. against the so called best qb ever in tom brady ... why hof ?? Ill tell u his conference final game against green bay packers in 2016 was a beauty completely earned the win in route to the superbowl and the game b4 he beat a great in russle wilson n defeated the seahawks in route to cfg with packers ... that playoff run alone earned him a spot along with stats and the other stuff/next gen stats

2016 was his year to get a gold jacket. It was right there and then it was gone. It's over.

Matt the Goat Atl miss you

Can still ball if he can get somewhere with a good O-line. Can’t really run anymore, but he can still throw well enough. Unfortunately he’s too old to where if you need a qb, you might as well go with someone younger. He could be a backup somewhere.

Matty Ice was an above average player with HOF receivers and a good Oline

came down quick is crazy 14 straight years 4k yards

Kyle Shanahan was the problem we win the superbowl if he ran the FUCKING BALL

The "Kid From Philly" was one of the toughest QBs to ever play the game. Besides his first 3-4 seasons when our O-Line was insanely good, he spent the majority of pass plays on his back. When he was drafted, the Falcons were an absolute lost cause. He changed the culture himself.

He made the most with nothing. The second the falcons organization gave him help such as a good line, or a decent offensive coordinator he was top 10 yet had to deal with Steve Sarkisian as he OC for the years where he should have had his prime yet he still finished top ten in all good qb stats. Not to mention that the colts failed him. He was promised a good line and a good run game in JT and he got neither yet the second he had a decent line in a colts uniform he threw for almost 400 yards and 3 touchdowns in a game vs the jags. Sad to see him go out like that when he had some juice

My goat

That 28 to 3 blown lead will forever Haunt me and any other falcons fans

This people hating so bad lol this man was a top 5 qb of the 2010s a 3x pro bowler mvp and etc with amazing stats hes a HOF maybe not first ballot but hes a hof

Ultimately, the very system (Shanahan) that got Ryan that historic 2016 season and Super Bowl run was the team's undoing in the big game itself.

That my guy the reason I became a falcons fan and I don’t care what anyone says he’s a 1st ballot Hall of Famer he’s the modern day Marino a great player with an incompetent team namely dan Quinn and the front office not to mention kyle shannahan

My Grandma couldve hit that block that Freeman wiffed. Shanahan was just like Dean Pees last year. "We're up? Lest stray from what's keeping us up."

I want him to come back for 1 year to at least take that last year away as his last year; maybe go to somewhere like Bills, Chiefs, Bengals, or Eagles, so he could maybe add a little edge to the QBs there, and almost guarantee a SB. Maybe let him play a little bit in the SB, maybe a quarter or two.

Long live matty ice

He’s still a starting qb in the nfl

Oh, Falcon homers you crack me up. "Matty Ice" was the starting QB for 7 of the top 9 blown leads in Falcon history including the biggest blown leads in SB history and NFCCG history. Then with the Colts, he is part of the biggest blown lead in NFL history. So, you can blame the D only so much. He was a choker, not an All-Time great.

As a Falcons fan. If you surround a QB with Roddy White, Julio Jones, and since 2009 Michael Turner you win super bowls.

Father Time is unbeaten. Ryan had a great career. I wouldn't use the word "fall" he just got old as we all do

He should head back to Atlanta. There he will have a top 5 OLine in front him, two headed monster with Allegier and Bijan and can pass it to London and Pitts

do Tony Romo that would be a banger

That overtime rule if a joke. The opposing QB wants a chance to yo touch the ball than tell your defense to step up and do their jobs

Matt ryan is another qb that had good numbers for many years. Maybe not hall of fame because of the talent of qb in his era.

0:43 Tom Brady what does going down feel like

When did BC add ‘golden’ to their team name? Been a fan all my life. Never heard it once. Wiki agrees haha. I mean shit the eagle is literally maroon in color.

If rivers is HOF material then Ryan gets in easily. Ryan clearly more accomplished.

2 things inwish were different 1)Falcons beat Patriots in the Super Bow 2) him and my Colts hold on to beat the Vikings

As a life long falcons fan the 28-3 wouldn't bother me so much if they just kept trying to put the foot to the throat and stuck with what was obviously working to that point. protecting the lead and going conservative was poor coaching and in hindsight it would have been more respectable to go out on your own sword than to lose like they did.

Idc what y’all say. He really wanted to win

He retires as the greatest QB in Falcons history. Au revior Matty Ice.

I feel like you're not really telling the whole story. Matt Ryan never had a running game, a good o-line, and not one top-ten defense. In the years he had a good defense (not top ten) they made the Super Bowl. The only years where he had a good o-line and running game, he made the playoffs. Every time the Falcons lost in the playoffs they lost to the future Super Bowl champs, teams that made the Super Bowl, and the Super Bowl itself. So they genuinely lost to the better team. Matt Ryan getting traded to the Colts was a mistake by the Atlanta Falcons organization. They pursued Deshaun Watson but never got him so that resulted in him feeling like he was not appreciated enough for what he did for the organization. Julio was also done dirty by Shannon Sharpe.

Only a brick wall can stop you. It's name is the Eagles.

Matt Ryan would almost definitely be a HOF if Devonta Freeman hadn't had the worst missed block in NFL history.

They neva gave him a defensive

He’s retiring the only reason he isn’t saying it directly is because he loses like 12 million if he retired vs the colts cutting him

This dude's looked 38 since he was 20

And they should have ran the ball more during that game.

What do you mean fall. Get bent he is and will always be elite.

I'm calling this the MJ rule, lets just start ignoring the last year if you're one of the greats, especially if it was their first year in a new franchise. Just gon be better for everybody

I’m really sick of hearing these people talk so much crap about Matt Ryan, saying that it was his fault. It’s true that he isn’t as good as he used to be, but the colts still failed him. They promised him a top notch offensive line and running back. They couldn’t even do that. I wish the Colts nothing but failure from now on. As for the Super Bowl, he played amazing in that game. Despite what morons will tell you. it was his defense in Kyle Shanahan‘s ineptitude that cost us the game. Matt Ryan is a Hall of Famer. Period.

He did have a good Career tho

I'm hoping the choked leads don't keep him out of the hall

He didn’t blow anything that’s like saying it’s the QBs fault that the defense let up a td

That colts loss wasn’t his fault. He did what he could. The defense and bad coaching sold

Also, Matt Ryan was not the coach during the Super Bowl.

I wish Matt Ryan did better for the Colts

only if his defense didnt choke in the superbowl

it’s called an NFL career not a rise and fall

I hate 2016. Matt Ryan needs to hang it up.

Other than his leadership, i liked him but he got too prideful and greedy but he broke our curse

28

As falcons Matt Ryan could have won the falcons Super Bowl first 😢

Matt bryan will be rember as face of blowing league sadly

If he had won that superbowl maybe he'd have a chance as HoFer. If people are debating Eli's credentials I don't see much of a shot for Matty Ice.

Greatest overhyped. Player ever. Was average at best most of his career.

For what Matt Ryan was paid, he wasn’t good enough. And his contract and few others kept this team from being balanced out. The Matt Ryan years had to be some of the most mundane years ever. Filled with useless platitudes and consolation prizes from the fan base

All this Falcon hate. Buy a Falcon jersey. Lol. Hating on Ridder too. You’re a joke. 😂

More proof……. There isn’t a QB alive that can overcome bad ownership/management/Coaching Unfortunately the same tale is being written about Justin Herbert and Josh Allen💀💀💀

Just saying kyle Shanahan cost the falcons and 49ers a Superbowl

😂😂😂😂

Matts biggest mistake? He spent to much time at Atlanta. 100% not Matt's fault his team lost the super bowl to Patriots it was defense and a bad play call from Oc at the time Kyle {shityhand) shanahan. He will DEFINITELY make the hof.

2009 lost to superbowl team !!!!!!! 2010 first back to back win for falcons!!! 2011 lost to superbowl champ 2012 lost to superbowl champ 2013 lost to superbowl team 2014 :( 2015 :( 2016 lost in superbowl 2017 lost to superbowl champ 2018 :( 2019 :( 2020 :( 2021 :( 2022:(

Stat Ryan

Kyle Shanadouche is the ONLY reason they lost that Super Bowl. The guy is his own worst enemy… the biggest over-thinker in the NFL.

Joe flaco better than Matt Ryan.

🗑️

Matt Ryan is the biggest choker ever.

Matt Ryan was a decent QB. Not GREAT! He was drafted into a great situation, and continued to get the help he needed, just to still fold

Matt Ryan was a legend he was the best quarterback Atlanta falcons ever had he should have had a chance to retire from the falcons when he wanted to retire bottom line PERIOD!!!
