Having the worst deep ball passer in the NFL will hold him back.



It hurt him a lot last year. The jump ball isn't Julio's strongest area, and Ryan underthrows 90% of the deep passes he attempts.

True, but I think that their OC wasn't using their weapons properly. Atlanta's offense should strive to be more like New England's in that they spread you out and let the WRs and other skill players make yards after the catch. Julio excels at this, and they should play to his strength in that way.

Ryan isn't a good deep ball passer, but he's extremely accurate in the short to intermediate passing game. Play guys like Snelling and Rodgers more in the backfield (Turner is a non-factor in the passing game) and they can be more effective, IMO.
