Matt Ryan brushes off Terry Bradshaw’s harsh critique

The list of critics of Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan’s recent play now includes Terry Bradshaw.

During Sunday’s NFL on Fox studio show, Bradshaw said Ryan needs to “go to a quarterback camp” to work on his fundamentals.

“That’s his opinion,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn responded today. “The team doesn’t agree with him.”

Ryan’s production this season has been about the same as over his career. But he he’s been inconsistent over the past five games with six touchdowns, five interceptions and six fumbles (three lost).

Ryan took Bradshaw’s critique in stride.

“That’s what happens when you don’t perform at the highest level, there’s criticism” Ryan said. “We understand that. But you can’t let that kind of thing affect you.”
