Who Should I Start? Matt Ryan or Lamar Jackson

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.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson started Monday Night Football in a slower fashion but bounced back in a big way after a down week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. In the 30-23 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in the Harbaugh-bowl, Jackson finished with 177 yards and two scores on 16-for-22 throwing while adding eight carries for 15 yards and another touchdown. The ground game dominated this game, but Jackson capitalized on some fantastic throws to Rashod Bateman and Mark Andrews. He ended up as the QB8 which marks his tenth week in QB1 territory. He'll go up against one of the top defenses in the league in Week 13 as they go home to face the Philadelphia Eagles.
