Matt Ryan Weighs in on Falcons QB Showdown

Matt Ryan, former Falcons MVP and current President of Football, admitted the team is unsure who will take the starting job. He noted that both Penix and Tagovailoa are left‑handed, injury‑prone, and have high ceilings, but they must prove themselves in the 2026 season. Ryan added that the decision will hinge on who adapts faster to the offense, with Tagovailoa’s experience in a similar system giving him an early advantage. The outcome remains uncertain, with Penix’s health and learning curve still in play. sweetbonan.org
