Matt Ryan’s Legacy

Matt Ryan has a chance to even out his playoff record on Sunday and change the narrative of his career. He had seemed to be stuck in neutral for quite some time. While even at his worst he was a franchise quarterback he has a chance now to cement himself as one of the best quarterbacks in football.

Ryan started the year coming off of his worst season and now will have a chance to end the year as an All-pro quarterback, MVP, and most importantly a Super Bowl champion. The biggest knock on Ryan throughout his career has been his inability to win in the playoffs. If he can win the biggest game of the season and continue to put up gaudy numbers he will cement himself as one of the best in the game. He will also change his legacy to that of a Hall-of-Fame quarterback if he can continue the pace he has set over the past few seasons.

The biggest game of Ryan’s career will be played tomorrow against the Patriots, how he plays and the outcome will certainly influence his legacy and how he is viewed in the years to come.
