Matt Ryan perfectly sums up his brief Colts career

Matt Ryan was supposed to be the answer at quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts in the 2022 season, but the campaign was a disaster on pretty much all fronts. Ryan knows it, too.

In an interview with Josh Kendall of The Athletic, Ryan perfectly summed up the previous year and a half from the point he was traded from the Atlanta Falcons to the Colts.

“I mean, it was a s— show, you know, it was a s— show of 18 months basically is the best way to describe it,” Ryan said. “But I think everybody in our family handled it well and came out of it stronger and in a really good spot.”

That is the perfect way to describe it. Ryan went from franchise quarterback to benched to reinstated as the Colts made a midseason coaching change. The team wound up going 4-12-1, with Ryan starting 12 of the team’s 17 games.

Ryan has not officially retired, but he sounds like he’s done playing. It is a shame he had to go out with such a disaster of a season.
