Also, he'll be 36 by the start of next season. And he's not close to being as good as Brees and Brady. Definitely a tier below those guys. The Falcons have only had 2 winning seasons in the past 8 years, as crazy as that may seem.

I’m not saying he’s as good as Brees or Brady. Longevity wise, he can play that long. He took his team to a super bowl, then they fell apart around him. Their pass offense has been really good his whole career. What needs fixing is the defense and run game.

I’m not a huge Ryan fan or anything. I just think all the talk in the media about Atlanta taking a Qb seems a bit forced. If they are looking to do the Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers thing, that makes some sense—but it won’t increase their win total next year. What makes more sense is selecting a premier player with a top 5 pick to improve a lousy supporting team.

If I’m a new coach, I’m trying to make my team better this year for job security. Not everyone is given a 3-4 year plan like Zac. If I knew I had 3-4 years, sure, take the QB and lose and obtain high draft picks. But no, you want to win. So make the team better first and foremost.
