2. He’s still a serviceable QB

As we just mentioned, Matt Ryan is still a serviceable quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons.

Is he Patrick Mahomes, Deshaun Watson or Lamar Jackson? No. But not many QBs are and there are plenty of problems around him that would make even those three guys- and others- struggle.

Ryan can get the job done and he has shown that he still has arm strength and the capability to play at a high level. Is he going to win an MVP award? Probably not, but that doesn’t mean you can’t win with him.
