Dirt meets Matty Ice and the New Dirty Birds

[DougieDoug85]

Much love Matt Ryan....ATL HO!

[vegetatheprince123]

vick even admits he didn't give his absolute best with the team, and he was a bit selfish wanting the spot light to be only on him, but ryan could careless who gets the glory or who gets the MVP of the game! he just gets the job done.

[Throwed404]

Even tho Vick was loved in Atlanta , He never gave us back to back winning seasons and his best season was in 04 wen we went 11-5 . Matt Ryan gave us 11 wins in his rookie year 9 in 2009 , 13 in 2011 and we will have atlease 10 wins this season , THATS 4 Consecutive winning seasons and consecutive playoff appearances something Vick Couldn't accomplish and still can't even with the eagles , Do I miss Vick? Not really im glad Matty Ice Is a Falcon!

[theWordpersonified]

@Throwed404 Vick was good, but in the end we needed a QB like Matty Ice to exploit the talents of our receivers (White, Jones, Gonzalez, Jenkins). Much respect to Vick, he's still one of the more formidable QBs in the league due to his versatility, but his departure from the Falcons turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

Virginia is the south. i am a southern boy that a proud descendant of a confederate soldier that fought for Robert e lee in the army of Virginia.

[cdoggyfizzle]

i really hope we can get there this year.

"and... he's not in prison"

[xTheNIL8Rx]

vick took us to mediocrity. with the 7-9 and 8-8 seasons. People like him because he's black...can't argue with that. Matt Ryan and Mike Smith is redeeming this franchise

[Steez2Passout]

WTF? We still sucked when we had Vick! Mike Smith and Thomas were the best thing to happen to the Falcons.

[qballer95]

Haha Tom mcclure nobody knows the o linemen pitiful

[Hunkola]

Vick will always be the sweetheart hero of Atlanta --- much love to Mike!

[SCUR20]

WOW the richest rookie contract in NFL history.

He's just amazing. Physically and mentally.

yuap!

[JesseJamesonXXX]

Well; their pick; again; was amazing with Matt; b/c although Vick is incredibly impressive on his feet and was close to SB this year; Matt Ryan is also an impressive young guy and respectable and was also very close to the SB this year--

[jesusbrothers]

"a black guy from the south" ...?? Is Virginia really considered the south? maybe it is, i dunno

[calirrican5]

@jesusbrothers he was from Newport News, Virginia its country down there, its alot different from Northern Virginia

[equallyeasilyfuqyou]

@jesusbrothers virginia is definitely the south. the south begins are the mason dixon line in maryland.

[chihlasc]

im a steelers fan but i love matt ryan, the'll have a title in a few years for sure

[omgitswes32]

@chihlasc Same here, well Bears instead of Steelers. But Matt Ryan is the man! I'm actually close to Atlanta so I've seen him play. This kid is remarkable.
