Matt Ryan's not dead yet.

It certainly didn't appear that way a year ago, when Ryan pieced together a season so bad that even a Tom Hanks-led mission couldn't have saved him. In 2015, Ryan threw 21 touchdowns and 15 interceptions and posted an 89.0 passer rating.

OK, so it wasn't as awful as I made it sound, but he hardly looked like the top-level quarterback he was in 2012. In the three season since, punctuated by last year, Ryan's looked normal, not exceptional.
