Is this how Matt Ryan's career will play out? I need to know for my fantasy draft next year.
Yes, clearly a HOFer
No, clearly not a HOFer
No, he didn't win consistantly enough
Maybe, depends how his last few years go...

Are you serious? There is no way you should EVER be picking a rookie QB in fantasy football. Chances are he'll be on a pretty weak team, and he might not even play all that much his first year. If you're so desperate you are taking Matt Ryan this year, you have REALLY botched your draft.![]()
I just wanted to quote this because it made me laugh. Corey Dillon, Troy Brown, Matt Light, Richard Seymour, Deion Branch, Tedy Bruschi, Ty Law, Willie McGinest, Rodney Harrison, etc. aren't stars...riiight.
Oh, and for the record, I say Ryan's a HOFer. 3rd all-time in TD passes, 7th in yards, 4th in passer rating. Plus the INT ratio (INT/pass attempt) is better than Johnny Unitas, Archie Manning, Bob Griese, Terry Bradshaw and Joe Namath. Not to mention he has the same number of Super Bowl rings as Dan Marino.![]()
First off, I wouldn't even count any of the defensive guys you mentioned, as they aren't stars WITH Brady, since they aren't on the field with him, which is what I believe the earlier poster was talking about. As for the offensive guys...
Matt Light - very few offensive linemen are true star players. Ogden, Pace and Walter Jones are a few of the rare ones that are. Matt Light is not one of them.
Deion Branch - Ummm...seriously? He didn't have a single season with 80 catches, 1000 yards, or more than 5 touchdowns during his time in New England...that's not a start receiver. He also doesn't demand double coverage, which is the mark of a star wideout.
Corey Dillon - Good running back...nothing more, nothing less. Not even close to being in the top 5 backs in the league at any time in his career.
340 TDs and 45,000 yards. I think you have to give him a vote.

He sure looks like it from a stats point, I mean they must have an atrocious Defense, look at his 2013 #'s 30-15 TD-INT, 61 Comp, 3700 yards and They went 4-12!!!! so his team performance isnt a huge factor.
