The NFC South has plenty of excellent quarterbacks, including a couple of future first-ballot Hall of Famers who will be a combined age of 84 when they meet in Week One. But another quarterback in the division recently proclaimed that he is the best.

Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan appearing on Sorry my take With PFT Commenter and Big Cat, he called himself the best of the group.

It is a group that includes Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Teddy Bridgewater, Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill.

Ryan won the NFL MVP award four years ago, and helped the Falcons gain a 28-3 lead in the third quarter of Super Bowl LI. After the Falcons lost the game, they were basically thrown out. They shouldn’t be, Ryan shouldn’t be.

As discussed during Friday PFT LiveRyan has a +4400 chance of winning the MVP award this season. That makes it an intriguing option; If the Falcons can rack up wins like they did four years ago, and they have the talent to do so, perhaps they can stand out enough that their starting quarterback gets the same kind of recognition it did in 2016.
