Matt Ryan defenders aren't the ones moving the goalposts, baw. Matt has the numbers.



I'm not moving the goal post. I fully admit the Ryan has the statistical advantage when it comes to just QB stats.

quote:

You are clamoring to the eye test, playing the Saints twice, and having superior weapons.



Actually, that isn't what I did. I supported my argument with FACTS

Facts that I used to support my argument:

1) During that stretch, the Packers played an average defense ranked in the top 10 in yards and ppg. The Falcons played an average defense ranked 17th in yards, and the 19th in ppg

2) Atlanta averages 120.5 yards per game on the ground. The Packers average 106.3 and have been decimated by injuries.

3) Atlanta has had a healthy offensive line all season. They have started the same guys in every game this season.

quote:

The vast majority of these weapons were there last year. Julio and Freeman ate in 2015.


Wtf does that have to do with anything? We're not comparing Matt Ryan to himself, not to mention that his offensive line was in shambles.

Their playaction ability this year has been one of the best I've ever seen with that running game, offensive line, Julio, and Ryan's abilities.

quote:

Explain why the Falcons are the top passing offense by any metric.


I already have. You just decided that I was "moving the goalpoasts" which is bullshite. I'm discussing which QB has played better given their teams and competition.

quote:

Nothing to do with Julio, Freeman, and starting the same offensive line in every single game this year (which is just mind blowingly lucky). So sure, he's been statistically equal or even surpassing Rodgers

Jesus Christ I've never seen someone so upset about a rival player going to win MVP.

You brought substance and an actual argument as to why Rodgers has been more impressive. Ryan is very much deserving of MVP based on stats alone and should get it, but he has also had it easier by a significant margin. Played worse defenses. Has a running game. Easy to see why many find Rodgers during the span of "Run the Table" more eye opening.

Anyone Want to take a guess as to which QB contributes more to that rushing average?









Rodgers
