    true that

    but with ryan he has a big star receiver and running back to lean on

    does flacco?

    not saying flacco is better or has performed better, but given the right weapons i believe he could be just as good if not better than matt

    Matt Ryan is making Roddy White look like a star this year.... not vice versa.... I will give you their running game is helping but to mention Flacco in the same breath tells me you haven't watched Matt Ryan much or are blinded by homerism.

    let me set the record straight i do believe at this point matt ryan has outperformed joe flacco although he has had better weapons not using that as an excuse just pointing it out and also they will both have great careers imo.

    mentioning flacco and ryan in the same breath everyone does that all the time

    "The first two quarterbacks taken in the draft were Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco"

    what?

    Matt Ryan is a complete package. Physically. Mentally both on and off the field. His work habits are ridiculous. Anyone that tapes press conferences of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning to work on handling himself in front of the press is going the extra mile. Roddy White will continue to grow with Ryan. While Flacco may turnout decent, he's not the package Matt Ryan is right now.

    Look at Flacco's numbers and tell me he deserves to be up there

    Now Im not saying he is going to be a bad QB, but to put him on a OROY list when there are many rookies this year playing at a PB level is ridulous

    IMO

    1- Ryan
    2-Jackson
    3- Johnson

    jackson ahead of johnson you're kidding me

    johnson should win at the end of the year maybe in a runaway

    and btw felix is not that much better than ray rice

    woah just opened a HUGE can of worms there :icon_cheesygrin:

    How many WR's co e into the NFL an excel as rookies.

    Are you talking about the Felix Jones that is averaging 9 yards a carry, or the Ray Rice that is averaging 3.8?

    Or the Felix Jones who's TD swung 3 games, or the Ray Rice who has yet top score a TD

    I mean, what are you basing this on other than being a Ravens fan?

    Matt Forte is a complete 3 down back.

    You guys can't have ROY discussion without Forte. He's not only excelling as a rookie but he's carrying his whole freaking team.....Jackson's been good but has Westy and Mcnabb, Johnson platoons with White which eliminates him imo much like Felix Jones. Matt Ryan is the only one that deserves mention with Forte.

    I would put Forte right behind Johnson, and Jones behind both and Slaton

    just bc he hasnt had the same opportunities as felix if you watch him run he is very fast and amazing in the open field

    I pick Matt Ryan...what he's done with the Falcons surprised the hell out of me and made me forget what's his name....
     
  15. Jihad Joe

    He's gotten the ball more than Jones

    Who?

    First we have to deal with discussing Flacco who doesn't belong in this discussion and now Ray Rice????? Can we be serious please and tone down the homerism.
    I'm w/ Sweets. Matt Ryan has revived a franchise w/ his play

    Even if thats right, Jones is still way better than Rice
     
  20. InfinitePulse

    InfinitePulse disgusted.

    He's not carrying that team by any means, what's happening is that teams are starting to respect the run so Orton is able to throw.
