When you look back at Atlanta’s disappointing end to the 2015 season, it’s easy to play the blame game. In fact, the guy who probably received the most scrutiny was QB Matt Ryan.
Rather than shifting the blame to another direction, Ryan stood tall and took accountability for everything. And, unfortunately a player’s leadership and dependency isn’t something that can be seen on a stat sheet.
“Matt Ryan is your prototypical franchise quarterback,” said ESPN QB analyst George Whitfield, known around the league as a QB guru and has had Cam Newton, Andrew Luck and Jameis Winston as pupils.
