Jalen Ramsey, who is already a household name for anyone who knows football, especially for everyone in the 904 area code (shout out to Duval County) for being one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL only in his 3rd season. For others that aren’t in the know, he made a name for himself in the now infamous GQ interview, here’s a taste of what he said, this will be important later in the article.
Matt Ryan.
I think Matt Ryan’s overrated. You can’t tell me you win MVP two years ago, and then last year, you a complete bust, and you still got Julio Jones? There’s no way that should ever happen. I don’t care. You know what that tells me? That tells me [Offensive Coordinator Kyle] Shanahan left, went to San Francisco, got Garoppolo, made Garoppolo this big thing. And now Garoppolo is a big name—and now [Matt Ryan] has this bad year? Alright, well, was it really you, or was it your coach? He was doing what was asked of him and it was making him look really, really good
Now this is what he said about his own quarterback Blake Bortles.
Blake do what he gotta do… I think in crunch time moments, like last year’s playoff game—not as a team, because we would have trusted him—but I think as an organization, we should have trusted him more to keep throwing it. We kinda got complacent and conservative. And I think that’s why we lost. We started running it on first and second down, throwing it on third down, every single time we were out there. [The Patriots] caught on to that.
One of these two players is playing an MVP level and one will be lucky if he is a starter on an NFL roster next year, but I digress. The Jaguars are on a 2 game losing streak and a once boisterous opinionated (as you can see above) Ramsey suddenly can’t string together more than a few word answers in interviews. Check the videos below to see Ramsey as a completely different person when things are going good versus when things aren’t going so good.
