After that debacle of a season in 2007, Matt Ryan was drafted to become the franchise savior after the incident with Michael Vick. Since he became quarterback, the Falcons had a winning record in 6 of those seasons, made two conference championships and one bad play call away from being Super Bowl Champions.
The Falcons have enjoyed their most successful stretch in franchise history and that’s some Matt Ryan should be praised for. Yes, Michael Vick was electric for us, but he wasn’t able to accomplish what Matt Ryan has done (Falcon fans, we really need to get over Vick).
