    I was debating my friend about this earlier. I don't want to give my opinion but am attempting to prove a point.

    Please answer the poll.

    I'd take Ryan but I saw a statistic that Dalton's number's to this point of his career are on par with those of Peyton's. Obviously, Dalton isn't the prospect, nor will ever as good as Peyton, but it's interesting nonetheless.

    Dalton is an underrated QB in that he gets WAY more hate than he should. Granted, he is overpaid (IMO), but he has enough talent to win a Super Bowl, given the right team (like Flacco).

    Matt Ryan is a much better QB than Dalton at this point IMO, but that could largely be because of the immense WR talent he has around him in Julio Jones, Roddy White, and Harry Douglass (when he finally returns and is healthy). All 3 are capable 1,000 yard receivers.

    However, if they had a healthy o-line I strongly think they would be in control of their division, but their o-line is decimated with injuries (I believe 4-5 guys are on IR with serious injuries)... Also, their defense is pretty awful as well

    Dalton's receiving core is good too.. probably better than Ryan's.

    I'll take Ryan, as he seems to be more clutch.

    Ryan. But Ryan needs receiving options make him better. He doesn't make anyone better the way other QB's can. Even Romo and Eli have been able to do that but Ryan has never been able to help anyone get a contract in his life. Dalton might be better at that.

    With receiving options like Hopkins, Johnson and coach like O'Brien - Ryan easy.

    But can he roundhouse kick rednecks through wooden railings?

    Advantage Dalton.

    Ryan seems to be able to do more to help the team win, so I'd want him.

    Looks like 25% of the voters are TCU fans.

    With all the weapons Matt Ryan has, his team is still struggling.

    Dalton STILL hasn't won a playoff game.

    Schaub has as many playoffs wins as Matt Ryan. Let that sink in.
