Im not talking down one of our guys. Im simply stating that i felt Ryan was being over rated by many on this board. I along with many where critical of Ryan when he wasnt playing well and the fact is for many games he didnt play well. Ryan has happy feet when he is under pressure, he does not feel back side pressure well and he has a tendancy to fumble. Until about half way through his Senior year he would lock onto recievers, he has never displayed touch as he is more of a thrower than a passer. Doug and Hack both said that they decided to take the burden or emphasis off Ryan and to place the game in the hands of our backs and O-line ask yourself why? In short Ryan did very well once he was asked to simply manage the game. He is very smart and was able to run our hurry up O well. In my opinion he will do best in a system where he is surrounded by talent and asked to manage the game vs be the man. I would love to see Ryan get drafted by the Patriots for this reason. So if pointing out my thoughts on Ryan equates to talking down one of our guys so be it. I dont see it that way. As to post I had him going any place between late second and the fourth round.
