Quote: 

Even teams will high caliber QB's have down seasons.  The Atlanta Falcons come to mind this season.  Matt Ryan was a difference maker for the Falcons in that franchise reaching the playoffs 4 times in his first 5 seasons and the NFC Title game this past season.   Yet this season,   Ryan hasn't been able to overcome the numerous injuries the team has suffered,  along with the Falcons not going into the season with enough pass rush options.

 

You make good points, but this one might be askew. I think the book is still being written on Ryan. He was quite good when throwing to three hall of fame talents. Without Roddy and Julio and Tony G another year older he is looking like the game manager type that most teams pegged him as coming into the draft. 

 

But yes I agree with your first point and that's what I was said in my next post...if everything is close to equal. I don't see how anyone can say that Teddy is not at least close to equal to Clowney.
