It's Matt Ryan's fault he was playing with replacement level OTs and throwing to replacement level wideouts on a team that had no running attack whatsoever? They had the worst running attack in the NFL at less than 1250 yards all year...that coupled with the amount of sacks Ryan took should perfectly illustrate how bad the OL performed without its usual bookends.
He only threw it 35 more times than in 2012 and threw 3 more interceptions than 2012, too.
I'd say that's pretty damn impressive, given the circumstances.
LT Sam Baker
RT Tyson Clabo
WR1 Julio Jones
WR2 Roddy White
RB Steven Jackson
Those are the guys that were hurt for all of, or most of 2013 or were let go.
To keep pace with his career numbers while losing those pieces is impressive.
Game managers don't average almost 300 yards per game in those circumstances.
