What do you think of this analysis of the Atlanta Falcons?

I saw this on another forum and just wanted to see if people here would agree or disagree with it's assessment.
____
I get they're a good team, but nobody on that team is playing "amazing" or "elite"
I think Matt Ryan is only being talked about because of how many people drafted him for fantasy football.
16 in passing yards
1st in TD's (tied with Fitzpatrick and Big Ben)
114.0 QBR ( even though i know this section thinks thats an overrated stat). Other than the QBR, nothing really pops out to me as "amazing".
QB's doing better are:
Joe Flacco: 1,269 yards(leads league), 7 TD's, 1 rushing, 95.8 QBR
Eli Manning, 1,011 yards, 4 TD's, 97.1 QBR
Now on to Julio Jones and Roddy White. In my opinion they are the most overrated WR duo in the league right now.
Combined they have 34 rec., 433 yards and 4 TD's. What part of that is "amazing"? The WR dou's doing better are:
Torrey Smith and Anquan Boldin:35 rec., 581 yards, 4 TD's
Nicks and Cruz:37 rec., 516 yards, 2 TD's
Megatron and Burleson: 41 rec., 518 yards, 2 TD.s
Michael Turner is 23rd in yards and has 2 TD's
Again I ask, what is so special about this team? They are doing NOTHING special, yet you can't turn on ESPN without them being a topic of discussion, why?

guy uses useless, trivial stats to make a dumb argument. and then includes same stats from qb/duos that have already played one extra game.
tl;dr: guy is dumb as frick

It looks like he's mainly comparing BAL to ATL. He uses flacco and his wrs and compares them to ATL. BAL has played 1 more game than ATL of course they have more stats.

So a saints fan wrote that bit I presume?

He came off as a Ravens fan to me with all the Flacco comparisons.

Sounds like a some of the Saints board guys 
They are one of 3 unbeaten teams, but this guy must have a different version of ESPN than I do, because I haven't heard them discussed any more than any other team. Seems to me that all we heard this week was about the refs and the GB-Seattle game.

Well he was right about Atlanta being overrated as frick, and Matt Ryan is far from elite. In college he was good in big games, in the nfl he's a choke artist.
