Matt is old and slow and it shows

After 13 games this season, Matt has thrown only 17 touchdowns. Of those scores, Julie Jones only has three of that total. 18 quarterbacks have thrown more touchdown than Matt this season. Carson Wenz has thrown 33 touchdowns, Russell Wilson has thrown 29 touchdowns, Philip Rivers has thrown 29 touchdowns, Jared Goff has thrown 22 touchdowns, Andy Dalton has thrown 21 touchdowns.
Of the top 20 ranked Quarterback according to NFL.com, Matt is tied in second place with most interception thrown with 11. He is tied with Russell Wilson who has 11 INT but he has tossed 12 more touchdowns than Matt.
Matt has only been sacked 17 times this year which is very low. Russell Wilson has been sacked 30 times for comparison. Atlanta's top two running backs has produced 1,273 yards vs Seattle total rushing game has produced 828 yards. Russel Wilson ran for 482 of those yards.
Antonio Brown has 26 more reception and 6 more touchdowns than Julio Jones after 13 games. Matt obviously can't get the ball to the best receiver in the NFL. Tyreek Hill has caught twice as many touchdowns as Jones. Julio Jones is ranked 99th in touchdown scores vs other scoring receivers and running backs.
15 offenses have scored more points than the Atlanta Falcons offense in the passing category. The Atlanta offense has scored a total of 294 points which averages 22 points a game. This equals three touchdowns in a loaded offense with top receivers and running backs. The Los Angelas Rams offense have put up 102 more points so far. They are averaging 30 points a game.
In total offensive scoring category, Atlanta ranks 16th which is in the middle of the league. Consider the same players are on the team, same playbook from last year, and low sacks on the MVP QB, and this offensive last year was one of the best in NFL history. This is large plunge in production is just in-conceivable.
Atlanta's defense has only gave up a average of 20 points a game which is ranked number six in the NFL. The defense has 34 total sacks and ranked 11th in that category. Atlanta defense is ranked number 7 in total yards given up this year. The Defense is ranked number 7 overall.
Clearly this year the Atlanta Defense has had a better season than the history making Atlanta offense. What a turnaround in a year time. This clearly shows Matt Ryan has been really under performing and has gotten to old to play any longer. He is clearly the reason we have struggled and time for a fresh new direction at quarterback.
