I am pretty surprised with the Falcons this year. Matt Ryan is the real deal. 6-3 but sill 3rd in the division. It will take 10 or 11 wins to pass by Carolina. Anyone think there is a chance?
I agree about the Falcons very good this year, However I am hesitate to say Matt Ryan is the real deal, YET. The QB always needs a few years to become the real deal. Look at the browns last year. Anderson, was considered the real deal last year and got a big contract extension, but look at them now. Same goes with Tuner, the guy has been a great backup for many years behind LT, however lets see if he can do that on a constant basic. Its hard to judge them this year for the future. Often times there is always one or two teams that shock everyone because no one was looking. Its a whole different story when you are no longer the hunter and become the hunted. This is what makes teams like the Steelers, Indy, New England, that plays at a high level year in year out, different from the rest of the league. Yes, for a given year they may be teams that are better than those three, but how many other teams can be in the playoffs almost every year. That is my .02 cents on the Real Deal.
