Matt Ryan believes he should be in the Hall of Fame

A former Falcons player will be elected into the Hall of Fame As soon as he is eligible. Matt Ryan, who many believe to be the franchise’s greatest player because of his position, has a divisive resume, Julio Jones will be a first-ballot entry.
In terms of attempts, completions, yards, touchdowns, passer rating, and 300-yard games, he leads the Falcons in passing history. Canton ought to be included if you’re regarded by many as the greatest player in the franchise’s history.

The awards also line up with the numbers. In addition to being the NFL leader in passing rating (2016) and completion percentage (2012), Matt Ryan is a four-time Pro Bowler and the league MVP (2016–17). The Boston College graduate also holds the titles of previous Offensive Player of the Year (2016) and Rookie of the Year (2008).

Matt Ryan is one of the all-time finest quarterbacks in quarterback history.

He is ranked seventh all-time in career throwing yards (62,792), fifth all-time in passes completed (5,551), and ninth all-time in passing touchdowns (a career total of 381), per Pro Football Reference.

With over 4,000 yards of passing in 10 of his 14 seasons in Atlanta and an NFL record 64 straight games with at least 200 yards passing, he was a model of consistency at the position.

If you ask the average NFL fan, you’ll get polar opposite answers.  Ask Falcons fans, Matt Ryan is a Hall of Famer. Well you ask the man himself   “I do. … The numbers speak for themselves. The consistency speaks for itself. I hope it’s something that happens one day.” .

He has a shot, but he won’t be as fortunate as his former teammate Julio Jones to be elected to the Hall of Fame on the first ballot. Because of the era in which he played and his lack of postseason success, many believe he belongs in the Hall of Very Good.

I wouldn’t mind it happening either way considering he was only named an All-Pro once. After 32 years, Ken Anderson, who had a very similar career, is not in the Hall of Fame.

Both appeared in a Super Bowl, had four Pro Bowls, were league MVPs and Offensive Player of the Years, and led the league in passer rating (Anderson did so four times), completion percentage (Anderson did three times), and yards (Anderson did it twice).
