3. Ryan deserves a shot at changing his legacy

Matt Ryan continues to be severely underrated around today’s league due to the Super Bowl collapse and Atlanta’s inability to put together a winning roster. His accomplishments and statistical success are all but ignored due to how irrelevant his team has become. Going to Indy gives Ryan a chance to once again find the production and form that made him the 2016 MVP and pushed the Falcons to the Super Bowl.

Joining the Colts gives Ryan a chance to completely change the outlook on who the quarterback is and where he stands among his peers. With a great offensive line and a solid defense, Ryan is going to push the Colts back into the playoffs. Pushing Indy into the playoffs is something Carson Wentz couldn’t do and will give Ryan a stage he needs to re-establish himself as a top ten quarterback.

Ryan doesn’t need a Super Bowl win to change the narrative he simply needs to prove he can compete with the best quarterbacks in the AFC. He has the best roster he’s been on in half a decade of plenty of reason to have a chip on his shoulder and remind the league just how great he is capable of being.
