If you listen to every NFL head coach and general manager you’d believe there were 30 top 10 quarterbacks in the league. This week Atlanta Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff is stumping for his signal-caller, Matt Ryan. “In my mind there is no question he is a top 10 quarterback in this league,†Dimitroff said Monday morning on “NFL AM.†Ryan has a 43-19 record in four seasons and has taken the brunt of the criticism for the Falcons’ postseason failures. But to hear Dimitroff tell it, there is no doubt Ryan will make the leap this season. “This is a team game. We all know that Matt’s his harshest critic and he’s always working on getting better,†Dimitroff said. “There is no one out there that works as hard as him or harder than he does and I know the expectations are high in this building, they are high outside, they are high from the owner as well as myself and Mike Smith and he is the kind of guy that is going to take that head on.†Source: NFL.com
