Well what exactly has he done in the NFL? 0 playoff wins...

I seem to remember complaints like that about another prominent QB early in his career. I forget his name though. It was like Paton Tanning or something like that. Took him like 5 games before he got a win in the postseason.

1999 (0-1), 2000 (0-1), 2002 (0-1), 2003 (2-1), 2004 (1-1), 2005 (0-1), 2006 (4-0), 2007 (0-1), 2008 (0-1), 2009 (2-1), 2010 (0-1)

Point being don't be so quick to declare him a failure. If he was 30 something and still hadn't won a playoff game after multiple trips to the postseason then fine you would have a point but given he's in year 4, well it's like celebrating after ending the first quarter with a lead.

Also lets review who defeated Matt Ryan in the playoffs over the course of these last 4 years.

2011: Giants - Super Bowl Champs
2010: Packers - Super Bowl Champs
2008: Cardinals - Super Bowl Representative for the NFC

It's not like he's loosing to teams that are loosing a week later.

Did I strike a nerve Matt Ryan's mom?!

1. Don't put words in my mouth, I did not call him a failure. I simply asked what has he done in the playoffs? Nothing so far.
2. Loosing is most likely a form of loosening which means to decrease constrictions of something that is tight. Losing would be the correct word used to determine something that has not won.
3. In order to be the best you have to beat the best. All the teams in the playoffs are good, that's why they are there in the first place. Just because those teams went deep into the playoffs means you can say, "It's okay Matt Ryan, you are off the hook. You could have been fine if you just hadn't played that Super Bowl winner in the first round."? No.

He's a choker in the playoffs. Took a colossal collapse by the Pats for him to get to his first super bowl.

He's no John Grady that's for sure.
