Matt Ryan is the least helped-out QB in the entire NFL

In years past, fans who dislike Matt Ryan have always used the fact of him having weapons against him. They argue that him having one of the greatest receivers ever in Julio Jones, is a reason for Ryan being overrated.

Well, notice how you do not hear those arguments anymore? It is because Matt Ryan is the least helped-out quarterback in the NFL.

Advanced statistics show that Matt Ryan has the toughest job in the NFL

Yes, Matt Ryan is currently in the hardest position of any other starting quarterback in the NFL, especially when it comes to winning games.

Take a look at this chart that puts together many different variables to determine a composite score:

Notice that Matt Ryan ranks at 32, meaning that he has as little help from his team as any other quarterback in the NFL. There is no denying this chart, it takes all the major factors into account.

His total composite score is exactly zero, compared to Josh Allen who has a 100 composite score.

This should really catch your attention, as this chart takes into account how open the quarterback’s receivers are, how well the offensive line pass protects, and what kind of help they get from their special teams and defense.

Across the NFL, the open rate for receivers generally hovers around .65, so Ryan is sitting at about the average in the league, but his pass blocking score is among the lowest in the league, along with the Falcons special teams and defense scores.

This is in large part why the Falcons are not a good team. Matt Ryan rarely gets the needed time to throw the ball to his under-average receivers and he also does not benefit from a good defense or special teams, but continue to blame Matt for everything this team does not do.

It is obvious that the Falcons are not a complete team, they can hardly play complementary football and it shows week in and week out.
