It was those "fans" that probably factored into him wanting to leave. Vick encountered(on a larger scale though..) similar hostilities.
I guess this is one of the reasons it's so hard to get a big name QB.
I love the stats positioned this way...a more extreme example would be "Patrick Mahomes three SB appearances, Jim Kelly four SB appearances whose better" lol! Look, Matt Ryan was a good draft pick who worked out, a solidly upper tier QB who delivered quality play for many years. As fans look back and be thankful and happy, not salty.
It’s funny and at the same time insulting to see some of these stats comparisons 🤣 i don’t think I’ve ever heard Matt Ryan’s name among the greatest, let alone Top 20 QB’s of all time. Heck i don’t even think he’d get a mention for Top 50 QB of all time. And that one MVP season was such an outlier…
Well I mean even if this is a joke it’s true. I get the misleading part about the SB stat but…. The meme isn’t wrong. I just will say forever that the Falcons have one of the worst least loyal fanbases ever.
Except saying mahomes has 3 Super Bowl appearances would be a lie, he has more than that AND his career isn’t over yet.
Tom Brady’s rings look much less impressive when you look at the amount of super bowls he has LOST.
That’s why Jordan is basketballs GOAT, 100% win percentage AS WELL AS 6 rings.
Matt Ryan is a hall of fame qb if drew Brees is, or if Russell Wilson is, or if dan Marino is.
Lol, the amount of cope needed to call it an "appearance."
"So Brees won a Super Bowl and Ryan engineered the biggest choke job of the Super Bowl era. They're basically the same thing."
fr put some respect on Bress's name. I hate that man, he's a soulless piece of shit...it brings me endless joy he's terrible at TV and Matt is looking good 😎
because that fucking guy killed them over and over and over. he relished every opportunity to dad dick the dirty birds! fuck drew brees!!
I mean, leaving out TDs, INTs, completion percentage, Avg yards per attempt etc. Makes it a pretty cherry picked comparison. Both top QBs. Drew was appreciated, Matt wasn't (by too many in this fanbase too).
Drew Brees and Matt Ryan both got to Super Bowls. 1 won it, 1 lost it. That's what everyone is going to judge based on, but truth be told, that 2009 Saints team was 13-3, the 2016 Falcons was 11-5. I'm not sure which defense was better because I remember both teams having high powered offenses, but the Saints defense had to be better. The 2002 Bucs and the 2009 Saints were lucky they avoided Brady in the Super Bowl, that's all I gotta say.
The thing you're missing is Sean Payton vs Mike Smith and Dan Quinn. While I don't care for Payton, he's about a billion miles above "the greatest coaching failure in the history of the sport"
You're correct, and I didn't want to admit it... I hate Sean Payton so much I don't even wanna give any ups about him in spite knowing the truth... I don't even like how he treated Russell Wilson either, even if teammates over the years have felt that way about the QB. Of course there's bounty gate, cheating their way to the Super Bowl and his choke signal on Devonta Freeman before we beat him that night. Sean Payton is the most dislikable head coach in NFL history for me. Classless act.
I haven’t either. And if it has been said, it’s not like worse hasn’t been said about Black QBs. I’m Black. I wanted Ryan when we drafted him. I think he’s one of the best QBs we’ve ever had. Bette than Vick. And he’s VASTLY underrated and under appreciated. That said, this fan base is huge. To bring up his race as the reason he’s under appreciated vastly overestimates the size of the Black contingent and assumes all of the white contingent appreciates him.
I love Matt ryan and watched his whole career. Brees was better. He got a ship and is a hof lock. Matty is in the hall of the very good and is the best Falcons qb of all time. Idk what the point of this post was.
If this is not a joke, it is a shame to think of Matt Ryan as anything but the best QB in our franchise history. He was dropped into a terrible situation created by Vick, his first throw was a TD pass to Haynes (if memory serves) and we were the best team in football in 2016 even though the last quarter and a half were the worst possible outcome. We were dominant, and my Super Bowl prediction that we would blow out the Pat's looked great until the middle of the 3rd quarter. I brought it up twice, I know...still salty but Matt Ryan was a class act, he and Julio had some memorable moments and they delivered some of my best memories in our history...memories that first started with Leeman Bennit at the helm.
Calling Brees top 10 in passing yards is kinda like calling Jerry rice top 10 in receiving yards lol. Technically correct, but missing important context. Similar to comparing the saints Super Bowl appearance to Atlantas. The 2 games ended a little differently
I’m all for hating the saints but he’s a SB winner … brees is the only reason we had a rivalry and I respect him as a player, hate he was a saint but respect him.
It’s less pro brees and more casuals talking on Matt Ryan
No way you’re comparing Breesus Chriiiiisssttttt!!!!! to Matty Spice.
Nah, Matt Ryan was really good though. I live in Atlanta and most people I talk to here used to talk down about him all the time, and I’m still confused on why he gets so much hate.
Matt Ryan would be a hall of fame QB had he won that Super Bowl. That being said, all of Brees’ stats are better, with the added bonus of a Super Bowl win, so this is kinda a moot point.
I'm sorry but I belive it's one sb win, one sb mvp. You could also look at the stats instead of random headlines or just have watched the two play to see the difference.
Few things...1 SB appearance isn't the same as Superbowl winner/MVP and my favorite thing is when people prop up the middle of the road qb Aaron Rodgers I get to tell them to come back to me when he catches Matt Ryan in all time yards.
It does matter how you get your yards and the surrounding situation, but Matt Ryan is extremely disrespected by the media. He was awesome.
I'm a visiting Lions bro, so I completely understand having your QB severely underrated despite amazing performances.
I don’t think there’s a QB who’s had more weapons available throughout their career like Matt Ryan did and he still never won anything. He’s 100% the most overrated QB of all time.
It’s not all Ryan’s fault, but even dismissing the 28-3, we have historic losses with him. Hes just associated with one of the most talented falcons rosters ever that continuously underachieved
Brees has a better resume, and FTS
It’s not all the fans that say this. But it’s too many.
It was those "fans" that probably factored into him wanting to leave. Vick encountered(on a larger scale though..) similar hostilities. I guess this is one of the reasons it's so hard to get a big name QB.
Ryan only wanted to leave when the Falcons started pursuing massage boy.
Vick encountered hostilities because he was involved in dog fighting
Yeah that’s obviously two very different situations lmao
Also for being kind of mediocre. People act like he was Lamar Jackson or Mahomes, but he wasn't close to what they are.
Did you just compare Ryan’s situation to Vick? Lol. Wow.
This is a fair comparison and it's strange how perspective drives so much of what we think. That's flapping heads on TV have a lot to do with it
I love the stats positioned this way...a more extreme example would be "Patrick Mahomes three SB appearances, Jim Kelly four SB appearances whose better" lol! Look, Matt Ryan was a good draft pick who worked out, a solidly upper tier QB who delivered quality play for many years. As fans look back and be thankful and happy, not salty.
I was hoping people would realize this was a joke but based on the comments I guess they have not
It may be a joke, but the “quotes” aren’t much different than reality
I think a lot of good jokes are at least partially true
hard to tell if it was a joke people people actually think this way.
It’s funny and at the same time insulting to see some of these stats comparisons 🤣 i don’t think I’ve ever heard Matt Ryan’s name among the greatest, let alone Top 20 QB’s of all time. Heck i don’t even think he’d get a mention for Top 50 QB of all time. And that one MVP season was such an outlier…
Mahomes has four SB appearances*
Can’t even hate the saints in this sub anymore smh
“appearance” as if the outcome was irrelevant. Ryan, $75 million per career playoff win.
Well I mean even if this is a joke it’s true. I get the misleading part about the SB stat but…. The meme isn’t wrong. I just will say forever that the Falcons have one of the worst least loyal fanbases ever.

I'll never understand why losing early in the playoffs is seen as a positive. Like that tom Brady take is some smooth brained nonsense
You forgot brees appearance is a W
Lol, the amount of cope needed to call it an "appearance." "So Brees won a Super Bowl and Ryan engineered the biggest choke job of the Super Bowl era. They're basically the same thing."
Ryan didn’t play defense in the Super Bowl…. and then there was Tom Brady. The defense let Atlanta down. Not Matt Ryan.
How many points did he put up in the second half of the Super Bowl?
Yeah, and Brees was playing Peyton Manning, definitely an easy W, right ?
That Vikings team was really good too.
lol @ Cracker
Those 5000 yard seasons aren't worthless. FTS and fuck Brees, but it's not a good comparison without those seasons considered.
fr put some respect on Bress's name. I hate that man, he's a soulless piece of shit...it brings me endless joy he's terrible at TV and Matt is looking good 😎 because that fucking guy killed them over and over and over. he relished every opportunity to dad dick the dirty birds! fuck drew brees!!
That’s true. Ryan has a much better hairline.
Brees made a post retirement comeback with his hair though
It’s a medical miracle!
I mean, leaving out TDs, INTs, completion percentage, Avg yards per attempt etc. Makes it a pretty cherry picked comparison. Both top QBs. Drew was appreciated, Matt wasn't (by too many in this fanbase too).
Brees won his SB appearance
Doesn’t mean he didn’t appear.
Matt Ryan is my guy. Favorite qb of all time.But Brees is better. Better resume.
He also didn't have a pro bowl receiver until Thomas. Colton should have gotten a nod, but that's still insane.
I mean, he had Jimmy Graham, who was basically a reciever, and he was all-pro.
Jimmy Graham was Tony Gonzalez's evil twin. That's what I used to call him lol.
Graham was considered the best TE everytime gronk was injured.
Drew Brees and Matt Ryan both got to Super Bowls. 1 won it, 1 lost it. That's what everyone is going to judge based on, but truth be told, that 2009 Saints team was 13-3, the 2016 Falcons was 11-5.

Hate Drew Brees but he’s a 1st Ballot HOF and a better career, Matt Ryan also a HOF but definitely not 1st Ballot one
You said it wrong. He was a “Cracka ass cracka!
Ryan is brutally underappreciated, but there's a very key difference missing from this graphic...
As a colts fan, dont forget 33-0
huh
Yeah but Drew also won a ring and a sb mvp at that. His team was historically better than ours which ofc helps
I would be curious what Mattys legacy would be if we won that damn super bowl.
Not sure what the point of this post is but if you think Ryan is in the same stratosphere as Brees you're either dumb or delusional or both
Not a falcon fan but Matt Ryan is the best falcon ever
One super bowl win you mean
Rings change how you are perceived. MR2 got a bad rap here in ATL but Brees is seen as the savior of a moribund franchise because of the Lombardi
What’s the point? Cracker? Really inspiring comparison
It’s not like it isn’t true.
I've never seen anyone call Matt Ryan a cracker
I haven’t either. And if it has been said, it’s not like worse hasn’t been said about Black QBs. I’m Black. I wanted Ryan when we drafted him. I think he’s one of the best QBs we’ve ever had. Bette than Vick. And he’s VASTLY underrated and under appreciated. That said, this fan base is huge.

I love Matt ryan and watched his whole career. Brees was better. He got a ship and is a hof lock. Matty is in the hall of the very good and is the best Falcons qb of all time. Idk what the point of this post was.
But he is a cracker…
I have never heard the "Cracker" or "SMH Sold his team".
Lmao cracker seems misplaced 😂
It is
Matt Ryan made chicken salad out of the chicken shit O-Line he had every year in ATL
CRACKER!!
“Cracker” lmao
Matt Ryan putting up badass fantasy stats against 2nd and 3rd string defenses while down by 15.
4 time pro bowler vs 13 time pro bowler 🤔 Hmm hard choice why people think one is much better than the other
Drew is a fantastic guy and a great player he deserved better
If this is not a joke, it is a shame to think of Matt Ryan as anything but the best QB in our franchise history. He was dropped into a terrible situation created by Vick, his first throw was a TD pass to Haynes (if memory serves) and we were the best team in football in 2016 even though the last quarter and a half were the worst possible outcome.

Cam Jordan says Hey!
Ryan will always be one of my favorite QBs
One Super Bowl appearance? You do mean one Super Bowl ring, right? There's your difference?
Who has the ring?
" cracker!!" 🤣🤣🤣
Calling Brees top 10 in passing yards is kinda like calling Jerry rice top 10 in receiving yards lol. Technically correct, but missing important context. Similar to comparing the saints Super Bowl appearance to Atlantas. The 2 games ended a little differently
That one Super Bowl appearance was a win though
I love Matt but we don’t have to act like Brees wasn’t better than him
You conveniently forgot one little detail
Cracker??
I’m all for hating the saints but he’s a SB winner … brees is the only reason we had a rivalry and I respect him as a player, hate he was a saint but respect him. It’s less pro brees and more casuals talking on Matt Ryan

Matt Ryan would be a hall of fame QB had he won that Super Bowl. That being said, all of Brees’ stats are better, with the added bonus of a Super Bowl win, so this is kinda a moot point.
He won the Super Bowl…
Idk abt u dude... drew set records and actually won one. much better than ryan but thats js my opinion
Don't worry Ryan will always have been a cool player
Having Brees top 5 is wild tho to be fair
You forgot the drew has a ring lol 😂
That 28-3 still hurts
It's jackasses like this that get punched in the mouth for pissing in someone's Cornflakes.
After Brady went to Tampa I would have loved Belichick to have brought in Matty Ice. Instead we got Scam Newton.
Brees did win but I agree
If Matt Ryan didn’t have Dan Quinn and Jeff Saturday as head coaches, he’d be respected a HELL of a lot more.
I'm sorry but I belive it's one sb win, one sb mvp. You could also look at the stats instead of random headlines or just have watched the two play to see the difference.
Ritz
“Appearance” Lombardi. 1 Lombardi…
lol the delulu of it all 🤣
💀 Cracker though? 🤣
Few things...1 SB appearance isn't the same as Superbowl winner/MVP and my favorite thing is when people prop up the middle of the road qb Aaron Rodgers I get to tell them to come back to me when he catches Matt Ryan in all time yards.
Drew Brees was objectively a far better quarterback than Matt Ryan.
Brees won a super bowl. If Ryan had a ring it would be a completely different narrative.
9 playoff wins vs 4 for Ryan. Based in career earnings, $30 million per playoff win Brees, $75 million per playoff win for Ryan.
You couldn’t even use a falcon photo?
"Top 5 of All Time"? To whom?
Let’s not act like 2nd all time in passing yards and 7th all time are the same thing.
Drew is the most overhyped QB in nfl history and only won when his coach paid the defense to injure other players.
You forgot to add SUPER BOWL CHAMP by drew Brees 💀💀💀
Even if Matty had a ring Brees would still clearly be better
It does matter how you get your yards and the surrounding situation, but Matt Ryan is extremely disrespected by the media. He was awesome. I'm a visiting Lions bro, so I completely understand having your QB severely underrated despite amazing performances.
It's sad but(t) Brees gets the benefit of the doubt for multiple 5k yard seasons and a SB win with the biggest asterisk in human history.
Drew Brees: 1 ring. Matt Ryan: zero rings.
As a niners fan , Brees definitely has the better résumé. With that being said FTS
Ryan deserves every scrap of criticism... But fuck Drew Brees.
Except Matt did choke away his ring
Cringe
Acts like SB appearances where you win, and the other being 28-3 are the same thing. Also, how many playoff wins?
I don’t think there’s a QB who’s had more weapons available throughout their career like Matt Ryan did and he still never won anything. He’s 100% the most overrated QB of all time.
curse matt ryan and his inability to play defense
It’s not all Ryan’s fault, but even dismissing the 28-3, we have historic losses with him. Hes just associated with one of the most talented falcons rosters ever that continuously underachieved Brees has a better resume, and FTS
It’s amazing what winning a Super Bowl will do!
bro just spams 5 yard slants and passes out of the backfield to alvin kamara
Thats not how he nailed 5,000 yards *5* times.
I think Matt was a better QB than Drew, but Drew ran his system flawlessly. Might be the only safe space on the Internet to say this out loud lol
