They're right back to bashing Kyle Shanahan. Only thing he's guilty of, and Quinn too, is not knowing the nature of his QB enough to pre-route around his defects. #1 of which is that he cannot handle serious pressure. So when they say a handoff should have been called, they are correct, but not for the reason they think. There's nothing wrong with a pass, the problem is that exactly what happened is likely to happen - Ryan has failed in this situation before. Ryan has never won a big game until the conference championship against GB, and that was a matter of the Packers running out of gas.
Matt Ryan is on a list of above-average QBs who always fail in the clutch. Along with:
Andy Dalton
Carson Palmer
Matt Stafford
Those guys never have or will win a serious game, they don't have it between their ears.
Not Alex Smith. He's just not good enough. More a physical thing. The other guys have the tools, south of their hatstand, anyway.
