And that's been my point all along. No one can unequivocally state that Matt Ryan would have produced any more wins that Jake Long because the franchise is ****ed.
AustinChiefs chimed in with that as well.

Prior to his arrival the franchise had never had 2 winning seasons in a row. That's 9-6. Never.
Now all they do is win, and they finally got the playoff monkey off their back this year. Still not the top team in the NFC, but they are a great team.

Until Ryan actually wins something of value (other than 1 playoff game in 5 years, in which it game down to the final minute), I'll withhold calling him "Elite" or "Hall of Fame".
He's been a good regular season QB but hasn't performed in the post season. I can easily give him a pass his rookie season as a playoff QB but regardless of whatever statistic you or Saul or Queen drag up, the bottom line is that he couldn't score against the Giants and he couldn't score in the second half against the 49ers.
