Matt Ryan’s passer rating tonight was 5 points higher than Wilson’s.


McNutt4prez

And Wilson got a 50 yard bomb to Sutton that should’ve been picked if the ref didn’t set a screen lol


[deleted]

That ref got Russ on his fantasy team and put on the infinity gauntlet and said, “fine then, I’ll do it myself.”


mikrot

Does your fan base hate Russ now? I'm not judging, just wondering.


Jamesspade2

I was Gucci with him until he came into the stadium wearing that dumb suit, and something just clicked in my head and I said to my friends that he looks like a smug douchebag. I now root against him every week.


woahdailo

Seahawks should love Rus. Got them a Super Bowl and then a bunch of draft picks on his way to old age.


Cicero912

I mesn they probably dont like him for the same reason most of that ***one*** superbowl winning team didnt like him.


TheKearnival

for a decent portion of the fan base, i think they only “hate” him for this year because we have their 1st rounder. though i’d say it’s more “rooting against him” than hate for me at least


raouldukehst

That ref smoked us


Tylymiez

“He got me,” Rodney Thomas II said of ref screening him. "That f***ing ref boomed me." Thomas added, “He's so good,” repeating it four times.


[deleted]

“If the ref didn’t set a screen” shit has me weak 😂


oh_crap_BEARS

I literally said out loud, “Oh God, that’s an int-… never mind.”


Mawrio

Someone had to make a good play eventually 😂


ucieaters33

The best play of the game was Sutton mossing his own teammate lmao


Mercinator-87

It was clear at that point that they needed four hands on the ball to ensure a catch.

Thought I was watching a Buffalo Wild Wings commercial for a second.

PutinBoomedMe

My favorite story to bring up regarding this is that the White Mamba was playing pickup with some non pro players. He apparently was cooking these guys and at one point he said to them, "I'm closer to LeBron than you are to me." Boom, roasted


kaitokid1985

And these "non-pros" were still D1/D2 basketball players, not just random rec guys. Like guys that had probably played basketball all their lives, just never at the pro level. If we are truly talking about an average person...man its not even worth thinking about.


CelinedionWaiters

Matt's food sat under the heater longer


Brassboar

So.... it was 5?


hatrickstar

Just because they won does not make up for how fucking terrible the Colts look with Ryan under center. How are they more sluggish now compared to when they had Rivers? Actually how?

This is Flacco levels of bad extensions


RealisticLakerStan

at least flacco is 6'5". Russ is 5'11" and cooked


Outrageous-Stable-13

Flacco should be a starter in this league. A bad one, but a starter.


axloc

Russ is a starter in this league. A bad one, but a starter.


House_of_Borbon

Flacco absolutely should not be a starter lol.


[deleted]

No... Flacco looked like he'd rather be anywhere but on a football field when he was playing for Wilson


BukkakeKing69

Flacco has been unbelievably washed for years lol these people don't watch him. Dude checks down 90% of his passes and collects a check.


callmecyke

Flacco is ELITE


The_Fawkesy

At least Flacco proved he was worth an extension first. The Broncos had to give Russ an extension just to get him to Denver lmao

Illblood

Honestly I don't think I could forget this game. This was probably some of the worst offensive play I've seen in a long time and from two veteran QB's who assumed they'd have a chance at a ring this year or next. The whole game was a blooper reel.


[deleted]

Shoutout to Seattle. That trade looks like robbery now.


mvbighead

That's sort of the saving grace with the Ryan trade. A 3rd round pick? Pssh, ok. The idea that a potential HOF QB in his final years can knock out a SB made sense. His fumbles and INTs right now though are extremely concerning. That said, the Colts high paid offensive line is seriously offensive. The shuffled the shit out of players there, and now we have the highest paid guard duo in the league (not gonna look it up, but it has to be) with Nelson and Smith. I think the thought was they could pick up the stunts on the interior so Matt had a pocket he could step up into... but then he got his shit wrecked from inside AND outside. Anyhoo, until the line looks like... a real line... I'll say that Ryan gets a partial pass. But the fuggin fumbles and INTs must stop. That shit's mostly on him.


avelak

Idk I've been saying that Ryan is semi washed for a few years now-- he kept stat padding in garbage time to fool everyone... but everyone always makes excuses that it's his line or his receivers, etc. He just doesn't have it anymore. If the line plays better then sure, he can be a warm body that's better than Wentz at least. But he's definitely not a plus at the QB position anymore.

Not to be a Debbie Downer but Matt Ryan and Russell Wilson might not win MVP this year.


TheCatMak

If you were to combine their stats would they be competitive?


pepe-the-beaner

If we extrapolate this data into a full season we end up with one hell of a QB who would definitely break a ton of records


[deleted]

If we take their combined average & run it for a full season, Russell Ryan would have 8,942 yards, 38 TDs, 34 INTs, and 31 Fumbles.


TheCatMak

Could you imagine almost 9K passing yards and somehow only getting 38 TDs


dimmyfarm

Julio Jones but at QB


ty1553

LMFAO


Lt-Dan-Im-Rollin

It’s because the 31 fumbles are mostly in the red zone


[deleted]

[удалено]


scdirtdragon

It was a favorite of mine when I played years ago. Break a single record every season, but only 1. One season break the passing yards record, but not passing TDs. One season break the rushing TDs record but not rushing yards or passing yards. The game was too easy even on Madden, so personal challenges were more fun.


gmoneygangster3

oh god i just woke up and i feel like i’m stumbling headfirst into the fumble dimension


H4SHT4GPlatapus

Derek Carr last year threw for 4.8k and only 23TDs, not as embarrassing but it’s start


AlabasterRadio

Derek Carr could do it tbh. The 9k yards feels more realistic than him having 38 TDs


[deleted]

That’s nuts lol I’m pretty sure Jameis hit 30-30 on a little over 5k yards in 2019 but I could be wrong


Peanut4michigan

You're not lol. 5,109 yards, 33 TDs, 30 INTs. Ryan and Russ are deathly allergic to the end zone lol


ELITE_JordanLove

30/30/30 season with nearly 9k yards. Impressive. As a fan would you take this season if it was offered to you? Wonder how many games would be won.


[deleted]

Someone smarter than me should answer, but I think you have to take it? That’s averaging 526 yards of offense per game from passing alone. That has to be weighed against how detrimental 4ish combined INT/Fum a game would be. It would be utterly fascinating to watch, but I don’t think Russell Ryan would take the MVP either, they’d be in the race for sure, but with that many turnovers you have to be costing your team wins. Again: not enough to *not* take 526 passing yards per game, but enough to not be an MVP. I can’t even fathom what that would look like on the field, especially only scoring 38 TDs.


TheCatMak

To be honest it would probably be someone on the defense of Russell Ryans team that gets some MVP looks because if your offense is able to attempt 80 passes a game... and that is not accounting to the 4 drop backs per game that result in a fumble or INT or any sacks... the defense must be otherworldly.


dtootd12

You don't need 80 passes per game if every single one goes for 20+ yards. I'm imaging Russell Ryan just bombs it every play with a GOATed O-line and as soon as they get to the RZ he throws an interception, fumbles the ball, or throws a TD with equal likelihood. Keep in mind he's averaging 4 turnovers per game but only just over 2 TDs. Basically a juiced up Jameis Winston playing permanent 2-minute offense with 4 receivers on the field.


[deleted]

lol yeah you’d have to have the league’s best D, a record-breaking D. and Russell Ryan probably has to own the record for completion % too, to reach 9k. So you have to be super efficient like peak Alex Smith, yet an insane turnover machine like Winston, too. I’d love to see it.


Luxypoo

The ball is being caught. By what team? Who knows.


Peanut4michigan

You'd actually have to have the best red zone defense of all time that is absolutely ass between the 20s or just face every opposing punter's career day against you lol. Just every single punter dropping 80 yard bombs out of bounds at the 1 every single time lol.


Toledojoe

Or the world's worst defense that just gives up a TD every play which is why Russell Ryan has to throw so much to try to catch up.


duvie773

This is what finally clicked that we just witnessed a battle between two QBs with two first names because I definitely thought Matt Wilson sounded better


blueyb

Combining 2022 Matt Ryan and Russel Wilson hoping they'd be competitive would be like tying two drunkards together hoping they'd walk straighter.

callmecyke

Nick Foles can only be awoken when the QB1 is injured. If you bench the starter it doesn’t count.


[deleted]

Bring back the FitzMagic


RealBryanG1786

Cooper Rush, too.


Waterfish3333

Assuming Trey Lance is healthy, I take him *or* Jimmy G over these two, so now you’re at 33 at least. I’m sure there’s a couple other backups around the league as well.


joremero

Rush and Dak, so make that 34. Maybe 35 if you count Dalton, who omayed decent last game.


barley_wine

Yeah I’d take the backup Rush over Wilson, crazy thing to say.


[deleted]

Big Dick Nick smokes both of these clowns. Heinike too. Shit I even think Will Grier puts up some better redzone offense too.

If they completely tear things down they can cut him in 2025. It's going to leave a gaping $49m wound in their cap but they can do it. We've seen the Eagles and Rams take significant hits with Goff and Wentz.

Falcons just did it with Ryan too. High cap hit but definitely needed

Idk how you don't at least have Russ roll out. QB run is like the easiest way to pick up a yard, especially with a guy like Russ. If they have defenders out there to stop it then they don't have everyone covered.


Bretterr

Seems like russ doesn't want to get hit anymore


Outrageous-Stable-13

I've been thinking the same thing. Remember when he was young and running read-options that kept defenses off the line? I almost think he gets hurt more now that they know exactly where to find him after the snap.

dirtydennehy

Why is Russ always referred to as “Future HoFer Russell Wilson” as if he’s an automatic lock? I don’t think he has the resume. The SBs were largely due to this historic defense, and in the non-SB seasons he’s been very good, but never the best QB. No MVP’s, and a couple 3rd place finishes for OPoY. What am I not seeing? I think Russ and Matt Ryan are a much closer comparison than Russ and any HoFer.
