Who Should I Start? Matt Ryan or Daniel Jones

Monday, April 22, 2:31 PM

Quarterback Matt Ryan officially announced his retirement from professional football on Monday as a member of the Atlanta Falcons, the team that drafted him third overall in 2008 out of Boston College. Ryan spent 14 of his 15 NFL seasons in Atlanta, winning Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2008 and an MVP award in 2016. In his lone trip to the Super Bowl in the same season he won his MVP award, the Falcons blew a 28-3 lead at halftime to lose to the New England Patriots. He made just 12 starts for the Indianapolis Colts in 2022 and threw for 3,057 yards, 14 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. The 38-year-old four-time Pro Bowler ends his career as Atlanta's all-time leader in passing yards (59,735) and passing touchdowns (367). Ryan ranks seventh all-time in passing yards (62,792) and ninth in TD passes (381) as a future Hall of Famer.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones will get a much more difficult test in Week 2 when his team lines up with the visiting Denver Broncos. Jones was remarkable in his first start with the Colts, racking up 298 total yards and scoring three combined touchdowns -- a feat he'd accomplished just once in ten tries last season. He'll be put to task this Sunday, however, when the Broncos -- a top defensive unit in the league -- comes to town. The veteran looked excellent in Week 1, but whether that was more a product of his team's offense or the Miami Dolphins' defense will become clearer following Sunday. Jones presents as a fringe QB2 for now, but another solid showing and we'll have to start taking him seriously. He's RotoBaller's QB25 ahead of this week's slate of action.
