Arthur Blank says team will 'have to see' about Matt Ryan's future

Although Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank expressed admiration for Matt Ryan, he did not fully commit to the one-time MVP as the quarterback of the future as the franchise searches for a new head coach and general manager.

Blank parted ways with coach Dan Quinn and general manager Thomas Dimitroff on Sunday following an 0-5 start. Raheem Morris was named interim head coach, while president/CEO Rich McKay was designated to oversee the day-to-day operations in the interim.

Blank addressed the media Monday and was asked if the 35-year-old Ryan is the quarterback into the future.
"I love Matt, much like I love Dan, I love Thomas,'' Blank said. "Matt's been a franchise leader for us, great quarterback; one of the leading quarterbacks in the last 13 years in the NFL. I hope he's going to be part of our plans going forward. But that will be a decision that I won't make.

Blank is already thinking about Carterville native Trevor Lawrence, and it is the right move for him to do so.

I'm a huge Ryan fan, but you can't pass up the best prospect since Elway.

Falcons should already be thinking about what LB/S they should take in the 2nd and 3rd round.

Chicago, Detroit, Dallas, or Jacksonville could be great spots for Matt in the future.

I'd like to see Matt Ryan in Dallas.
The six Dallas fans I know didn't like the idea.
