Matt Ryans workout w/ Dolphins

by davehowardcustom on Mar 27, 2008 2:20 PM EDT

This is a really good article that I just stumbled onto. It's a diary by Matt Ryan and includes his Pro Day, a private workout with the Jets & Dolphins, and he says he's going to Kansas City & Baltimore, yet.

Sounds like Ireland & company dug into his past, his head, his future, and everywhere they could. Pretty interesting, to say the least & makes me feel mighty good about how they're handling the screaning of potential draft choices. Check it out:

agreed

ya i agree with you. this pumps me up on how much effort were putting in to finding the perfect pick. the staff seems like that they did all their homework and extra credit before matt ryan came in.

John Beck + Lorenzo Booker + Ted Ginn Jr= SUPERBOWL IS NEAR!

The only ones being fooled by the smokescreen...

...is those of you that don't want Matt Ryan!

We want Matty Ice! :)

I've never really said,

"I don't want Matt Ryan." My feeling is that he doesn't show me anything more than John Beck did in college. I don't view him as a lead pipe lock franchise quarterback, and worth tying up 35 million in guarenteed money. He's just as much of a risk as Beck was last year, and a year behind him.

If we could wave a magic wand & have Dan Marino back in his prime, he'd look like shit behind last year's offensive line ESPECIALLY after Chambers left & Ronnie Brown went down. Would he have had the fumbles Beck had, no....but we're not talking about his rookie year, either.

My opinion is that we have a guy in place that has every skill set, mental aspect of the game, big arm & accuracy. We need to build the team around him & give him a God's chance to make it.

Matt Ryan will look like Alfalfa Switzer too, if we don't get some SERIOUS help to protect the quarterback & open running lanes!

"Matty Ice" had his chokes, his sissy moments, and his bone head plays in college. Do you think he'll suddenly become Payton Manning, if he has the same team Beck played behind last year? I think not.

I think John Beck deserves a fair chance. He deserves to have proper coaching, healthy receivers & running backs, a solid O-Line, and a tight end who can block & catch.

Matt Ryan had some "Doug Flutie moments" last year. He showed heart & balls & pulled a few wild finishes off, but he WAS NOT a machine! He was NOT consistent, he WAS NOT mistake free, poised, and outsmarting everyone.

He is not a lock for a #1 franchise quarterback pick.

That's just my opinion, and if Jeff & Bill decide otherwise I'll trust their judgement (just like we did camran last year), and I'll support my team.
