How?
I'm not arguing that his contract will effect the teams ability to keep talent on the team...I'm saying that effect hasn't happened YET. |

They let a 30 year old Brent Grimes walk (that was coming off major injury)
They let a 32 year old Tyson Clabo walk They let a 35 year old John Abraham walk I don't think Matt Ryan's contract had anything to do with those types of moves. |

If those players are old and yet le them walk because of performance, why use that, them being gone, as a reason the falcons sucked?

They didn't suck. They were just past the age of when most teams like to keep players, otherwise you end up paying for something you don't end up getting.
Abraham had 11.5 sacks and Grimes had a really good year. Age does impact a teams willingness to re-sign players to new contracts, and rightfully so. |

Game manager. Someone that is ask not to lose the game. Don't throw ints. Only makes safe throws. Relies on the defense and running game. The person cannot also put games on their back to win. General not great with down field throws or accuracy.
You can win with them. See dilfer. Smith. There have been a few more. Just hard to remember as they don't stick out once they are gone. |

What's just plain... holy shit, wtf is...
People blame Eli, Flacco, Big Ben, and Ryan's contract for their team's struggles. It isn't that. What's amazing is here you have 3 of the 4 game managers whose dumbshit front office decided that these guys don't need a running back. Flacco belongs in this conversation because for some reason, Ray Rice was absolutely terrible this year. I can guarantee you that all 4 of these QBs get their teams winning again with better running back play. I'm not all that crazy about Matt Ryan, so I tend to think he'll have less success... but better. |

guess what team was dumb enough to give that guy a 3 year 15 million dollar contract. And this place thought he was going to play safety. LOL right. |
