In a rare twist compared to their playing days, Matt Ryan now holds the edge over Tom Brady.Brady, the NFL’s GOAT, and Ryan, did battle eight times during their careers, the most notable being the New England Patriots‘ improbable comeback from 28-3 down in Super Bowl LI.Brady’s Patriots scored 25 unanswered points in the second half after trailing 28-3 at half timeGettySince retiring, both have taken on jobs as broadcasters and are both in the boardroom and front offices of NFL franchises.Brady is a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, controversially at times alongside his 10-year $375m contract with FOX Sports.Ryan worked with CBS Sports as an analyst before joining the Atlanta Falcons as their president of football in January.NFL executives concerned about Matt Ryan in front office roleWhile Brady may have been more imposing on the field, it appears Ryan is proving more dangerous in the executive suite.NBC’s Mike Florio explained that Ryan is the more intimidating executive because he is fully involved with the franchise.“I did hear from one coach that was like, ‘Hey, quit complaining about Brady. We like this. Brady is spread too thin.,” Florio said on Pro Football Talk live.“Now, the Raiders are 3–1, so in the short-term, the theory is being challenged, but Brady’s not all in. “Go ahead. Let him do all of the stuff he’s going to do. Let him walk the runway. Let him do Gucci ads. Let him advertise watches. Let him do this, let him do that. “Let him work for Fox while he’s supposedly running the Raiders. But Matt Ryan’s the one I’m concerned about. “Because he’s there. He’s there all the time. He’s getting himself fully immersed. He’s all in with the Falcons, and there are teams that are concerned about it.”There are NFL teams concerned with Ryan’s impact on the FalconsGettyDespite being a minority owner of the Raiders, Brady is only allowed to attend certain gamesGettyBrady’s role as a broadcaster means he is only able to make select Raiders games when they aren’t playing on a Sunday.Meanwhile, Ryan is reportedly a big presence at the Falcons facility on game day.Additionally, Ryan walked away from his broadcasting role entirely, unlike Brady or Troy Aikman, who maintains front-office consulting ties with the Miami Dolphins alongside his ESPN duties.Statistically, both carved out legendary careers. Brady retired as the NFL‘s all-time leader in passing yards (89,214) and touchdowns (649) and Super Bowl titles.Ryan accumulated 62,792 passing yards, 381 touchdowns, and a 2016 NFL MVP award.History has proven that rebuilding a franchise demands undivided attention, particularly from a role as all-encompassing as Ryan’s president of football title.It remains to be seen Ryan’s true impact on the FalconsGettyBrady’s star power continues to shine under the broadcast lights, but it is Ryan’s full-time presence in Atlanta that has rival coaches keeping a watchful eye.
