Why Ryan may be right
Katz added that Matt Ryan is amongst the most underrated quarterbacks in the NFL. “If you look at his career… since 2008, there has only been one time that Matt Ryan has finished out of the top ten in QBR,” the analyst said. Ryan has been in the top 10 quarterbacks for a long time, “and it’s crazy that we just kind of forget about [him].” On this, Matt Ryan said that he understands that “the status [only] comes from” a quarterback’s performance in the playoffs and the Super Bowl. “That’s the nature of how people see it right now,” the quarterback said. Thus, being underrated doesn’t bother him very much.

Mike Florio agrees that Matt Ryan is the best quarterback in the NFC South. Tom Brady will be 43 this year and may not do as well as he has been doing for so long. “I’m saying Matt Ryan is going to be better than him and maybe, Brady will be number two. But I just think the ability to be at that highest possible level, it’s not there anymore,” Florio said.
Whether Ryan will be better than Brady, we’ll know only as the 2020 season gets underway and progresses. And, our best chance to decide shall come in December when the two quarterbacks will be up against each other.
