Peter King: Herm will draft Matt Ryan to buy himself another year
I still doubt the Chiefs will take Ryan, but this is an interesting rationale for why they might and this is totally in line with the piece of garbage that Herm is.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...21/mmqb/1.html Kansas City. Boston College QB Matt Ryan. Just a hunch, though they'll have trouble passing on Michigan offensive tackle Jake Long. Strange thing here. At the combine, Carl Peterson told me the Chiefs loved Ryan, but there was no way they could take him because of their needs elsewhere. (Offensive line, I'm guessing.) Then they sent half the front office to his workout the other day at BC. Methinks Carl does not want to be the man to pass on the guy he thinks will be a franchise player. The other thing this does is buy coach Herman Edwards one more year of rebuilding. Even if the Chiefs go 5-11 this year, they couldn't whack Edwards until after they got a really good look at Ryan. |

Here are Croyle's top 2 years passing in college... 2005 339 202 59.6 2,499 14 4 132.8 2003 341 182 53.4 2,303 16 13 118.0 Now let's compare that to Matt Ryan for just a moment... 2007 654 388 59.3 4,507 31 19 127.0 2006 426 262 61.5 2,939 15 10 126.4 Ryan nearly had as many passes in 1 year as Croyle did in 2...Sometimes I don't think people realize how much BC relied upon him. They may have not won a game without him. |

Ryan is the kind of QB you want, he won games without a supporting cast. His stats are also pretty impressive for not having any real targets.

Alex Smith is a ridiculously bad comparison for Ryan, different kind of players from different systems. If you want to give me Ryan comparisons use someone who atleast came from a pro style offense. Smith comes from the shit Missouri runs, Ryan actually you know took snaps from under center. |

I think Ryan is a much better prospect than Smith was. Of course I thought Rodgers was better than Smith too. I'd also take Brohm over Smith.

But in the eyes of scouts, and media, Ryan is not the prospect Alex was.

The only reason people don't get enamored with Ryan is because he doesn't have a huge arm.
Ryan is a polar opposite of Alex Smith in the way he plays so lets stop comparing them. Matt Ryan compares to guys like Matt Hasselbeck or even Eli Manning for his skills not Alex Smith. |

Have you seen his supporting cast again? Ryan was pretty much phenomenal to do what he did with those players he had around him.

And he constantly holds on to the ball, then fires back across his body, both of which will ruin him in the pros.

The offensive talent will also shoot up around him, helping him more...
