Arthur Blank doesn’t commit to Matt Ryan moving forward - NBC Sports - NFL

As Monday whether 35-year-old Matt Ryan continues to be the quarterback of the future for the Falcons, team owner Arthur Blank declined to commit.

“I love Matt, much like I love Dan [Quinn], I love Thomas [Dimitroff],” Blank said in a press conference that featured a pool reporter asking pre-submitted questions, as to the specific topic of Ryan’s interest in playing until he’s 40.

I appreciate his willingness to consider doing that, and the level of what he’s played for us for 13 years, which has been incredible.

And whether or not Matt can keep himself together and God willing he’ll be able to do that and play at the level that he’s capable of playing at.”.

At a time when plenty of quarterbacks are playing at a high level as they approach and surpass 40, there’s no reason to think Ryan can’t keep going.

If teams can move on from them, I don’t think Matt Ryan deserves any level of protection at this point.

Of course they’re not going to commit to Ryan beyond this season.

Locking up Ryan at the time made sense!

Matt Ryan is the least of their problems.

“I love Matt, much like I love Dan [Quinn], I love Thomas [Dimitroff],.

The people who think Matt Ryan was is biggest problem, are the same people who thought Dak was the main issue with the Cowboys.

Think about how comfortable Matt Ryan is.

Keeping Matt Ryan is the next step.

Matt Ryan is still a quality player, but it’s past time to blow up the Falcons and start over.

Ryan looks like a statue back there.
