Matt Ryan thrives under pressure, but that doesn’t mean he should have to

That was true last year, when he recorded one of the highest passer ratings in football under pressure. It was true in this last preseason game, when Ryan did this under duress:

Matt Ryan faced pressure on 14 of his 18 drop backs last night.

On those plays, he recorded a passing grade of 90.8.

The Falcons are blessed in this regard, because Ryan has faced a lot of pressure in his career and has only gotten better at navigating it over time.
