Albert Breer claims AFC South QB is 'being completely undersold' ahead of 2022 seaso

NFL reporter Albert Breer believes that Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan isn’t getting the love that perhaps he deserves heading into this season. 

The Indianapolis Colts kind of won the lottery when they were able to go from Peyton Manning to Andrew Luck under centre for them. From 2003-2010, they won the division in seven of the eight years and were a perennial challenger to win the Super Bowl with Manning leading the team.

His neck injury in 2011 ultimately forced them to take a step back as a franchise going 2-14, but that allowed them to draft Luck, who once again got them back to being a competitive force, with four trips to the playoffs and two division titles between 2012 and 2018 before he retired due to injuries.

But since then, there has been a carousel of quarterbacks through the doors at Lucas Oil Stadium that have tried to fill the gap, but have ultimately been unsuccessful; Jacoby Brissett took over Luck in 2019, then in 2020 they brought in Philip Rivers before turning to Carson Wentz in 2021.

Now though the job falls on Matt Ryan, who came over from the Atlanta Falcons this offseason via trade. 

Ryan’s days with the Falcons put him in the upper echelon of NFL quarterbacks, with 62, 407 passing yards and 387 touchdowns across the regular and postseason, including an MVP season in 2016 when he led them to the Super Bowl before crumbling to the New England Patriots in the 28-3 game.

Whilst the wins weren’t necessarily there for Ryan in the final few years in Atlanta, the production still was, throwing for 8,549 passing yards and 46 touchdowns, so despite being 37, there is still something left in the tank for him, and heading into a roster that includes a lot of talented players on both sides of the
