NFC South Q&A: Will Matt Ryan ever reach elite status?

Today's question: Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons was paid like an elite quarterback when he received a five-year, $103.75 million extension in 2013 that included $59 million guaranteed. Do you consider Ryan among the league's elite quarterbacks and, if not, do you think he will ever reach that status?

Jenna Laine, Tampa Bay Buccaneers reporter: I think Ryan has always been on the cusp of being an elite quarterback, and he played like one when the Falcons had Tony Gonzalez, Julio Jones and a younger Roddy White all together, along with Michael Turner.
