Well the reason I'm going to say no is because Matt Ryan is already going to walk into this season as the starter, while Brian Brohm is going to have to fight for the starting job which is already in the hands of rodgers. Now they won't give up on rodgers right away, he'll at least get 2 maybe 3 years. He will really have to screw up big to lose this job, because Brohm won't have the opportunity to win it.

Matt Ryan has the upside and skill to come in and be a good QB. Now he may have a learning curve coming into a losing situation, but he has the tools to get it done. He threw for over 4,500 yards last year and completed 59.3% of his passes while leading BC to a 11-3 season with a bowl win. Brohm has good numbers but failed to lead his team to the season they were projected to have, they only went 6-6.

Matt ryan will have every chance to succeed with the falcons and that will give him the edge over Brohm. while five years is along time to predict, now we have to take Ryan over brohm due to his slightly superior skills and the QB position hes in.

mm well it's not like Rothlesberger because in this case both QBs are young and in Pitt at the time Maddux wasn't young and he didn't even have the job locked down.

Now Matt Ryan has weapons to help him in atlanta, in Roddy White and Michael Turner. With the good running game they have all the preasure wont be on him to pass his way to wins right away, but when hes called on to pass he can do it...No Brohm will get a chance to compete for the job no question, but that doesn't mean rodgers doesn't already have the job which he does. The only way he will lose it is if the packers start to lose due to his play or he plays like rex grosman, which i fail to see from him..Last year rodgers was 20-28 for 218 yards 71.4 %, 1 TD o INT and a 106 passer raiting. for his career he has a 59.3 % completion percentage and a 73.3 Passer rating. Respectable numbers. He has not shown any reason to be replaced and he won't be. Thats why Matt rayn will do better the first five years.

Yes Roddy White has. He caught for over 1,200 yards last year, had 83 catches and 6 TDs. he averaged 75.1 yards a game and did all this with a rotation of passers. Imagine him with a QB that can get him the ball even more. So Matt does have weapons that will help him succeed. As for Turner no he hasn't carried the full load but he hasn't shown any reason he can't as when LT was out before he did quite well carrying the full load, and they also said this was one of the best FA signings this year.

Yes its possible that rodgers/brohm coudl do the quin/anderson from last year....but you know what happened? Anderson had an amazing season and they re signed him to keep him as there starter even with brady. Brohm will not overtake Rodgers unless he gets hurt, but even then Rodgers would still comeback and start after. Matt just has alot more chances to succeed then Brohm does.
