Falcons could make Matt Ryan highest-paid QB

Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan got the Falcons into winning mode, taking league MVP honors as well as being named the AP offensive player of the year.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan will be financially rewarded for taking his team to Super Bowl LI.

Will Ryan join Kurt Warner in 1999 as the last MVP to take home the Lombardi Trophy in the same season? Ryan posted a 117.1 passer rating for the season, which was the best mark in the National Football League, almost five points higher than New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. No analyst, gambler, coach or extreme optimist could have predicted that the Falcons would go 11-5, Matt Ryan would play like an MVP, their young talent would produce like veterans, or that Kyle Shanahan’s offensive scheme would fall into place.

Over the course of 16 starts, Ryan completed 69.9 percent of his passes for career highs of 4,944 yards and 38 touchdowns.

In 2004, he caught 77 passes for 1,200 yards and 14 touchdowns in 14 games before a leg injury kept him out until Super Bowl XXXIX.

After reaching the end zone 27 times, Alexander never made it there during Super Bowl XL. Prescott had 3,667 passing yards and 23 touchdowns this season.

Manning, who retired after winning Super Bowl 50, remains Miller’s favourite quarterback. The Cardinals just didn’t win enough games. “The Patriots are going to keep everything in front of them defensively and force the Falcons to take long drives”. If any Falcon outside of Ryan is going to win MVP, Jones has the best chance.

“I don’t think there is any question it starts with the great play of Matt Ryan”, he said of the Falcons’ march to the Super Bowl.

During the offseason, Ryan worked with Adam Dedeaux and Tom House at the 3DQB training facility in California to change his throwing approach. We will tell him all about this rally after the Super Bowl. “They’ll have a good game plan against New England”.

The narrative might have been stronger for Rodgers, at least down the stretch in the season, and different definitions of “most valuable” always get debated at this time of year. He set the record for career points (2,544), field goals (565) and game played (382) in a career that included stints with the New Orleans Saints, Falcons, New York Giants, Kansas City Chiefs and Minnesota Vikings.

Asked by Omnisport what he sees when watching the 39-year-old Brady, Dimitroff replied: “I have so much respect for him, as do our team”.

Despite the phenomenal individual and team regular-season success, Ryan will have to buck recent history to bring a championship to Atlanta. Other winners at the latest ceremony included Dallas Cowboys rookie Dak Prescott, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson, and San Diego Chargers defensive rookie Joey Bosa.

As Brady seeks an unprecedented for the position fifth ring, he will use just about everyone except mascot Pat Patriot as receivers. “Obviously, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do without her”.
