Joe Flacco and Matt Ryan were the top two quarterbacks of the 2008 NFL draft and they have been getting compared to each other ever since. If you look at their stats you can see why. Their numbers could not be more similar.
Joe Flacco has a 26-14 record with an 85.8 quarterback rating. Matt Ryan has a 26-12 record with an 85.7 quarterback rating. Joe Flacco has completed 61.5 percent of his passes, and Matt Ryan has managed to complete 60.4 percent of his tosses. Each of them has thrown 30 interceptions in their careers.
These two quarterbacks will meet for the first time tonight as the Baltimore Ravens play the Atlanta Falcons on the national stage. Joe Flacco has been playing exceptionally well as of late, and I hope this continues on the road in Atlanta.
