ouch Ryan looked really good in his first game then again so did the whole falcons offense so its not surprising Stack the box force him to pass this is whats going to happen.
The Bucs have a very good defense......and Ryan is a rookie. It is a totally different game when playing that scrub of a Lions D as opposed to the Bucs D. Ryan will be ok. This is just Growing Pains.
I don't think Ryan is a franchise QB, just a good one you can win w/
but I don't look at him like a QB who you can count on to win games w/, he needs a team built solidly around him for him and the Falcons to succeed IMO
Any numbers put up against the Lions D should have an automatic asterisk next to them, because if the first two weeks are any indicator they might be one of the worst defenses in the history of the NFL.
I thought Ryan played a fairly decent game, for facing the Tampa 2 for the first time ever... as a rookie. Of course, if you are the type of person who would use one quarter of play to compare a guy to Ryan Leaf, I suspect you wouldn't watch long enough to see it.
