"Matt Ryan is much like his team. He does little to make you go, "Wow," at least until you look at the won-loss record. He doesn't blow you away with his arm or his legs or his sound bites.

His shoe would be, "Air Beige."

If you walked into a music store, Ryan would be the equivalent of the vinyl in the far left corner, not the digital music players to the right that can hold everything on the floor, as well as possibly wax the floor.

Vinyl still sounds better.

The Falcons are in the playoffs for the second time in Ryan's three years. The biggest reason they're here is the maturation of their starting quarterback, who is 33-13 in starts for so many reasons other than being able to throw passes that leave vapor trails."
