Ryan gets it: Rookie will start

It took four months, but he clarity Falcons coach Mike Smith said he needed to name his starting quarterback came this weekend. Rookie Matt Ryan, the third overall draft pick, will start the Sept. 7 opener against visiting Detroit, Smith announced Sunday. It's not a game-by-game decision, Smith said. Ryan projects to start all 16 games.

"We have evaluated Matt through [offseason workouts], minicamps, training camp and over the course of three preseason games," Smith said. "After reviewing Matt's progress, we feel that he's won he starting job...We feel that Matt gives us the best opportunity, not only against Detroit but in the long run."

Ryas said Smith told him about the anticipated decision before practice. Ryan accepted the news humbly. He said he believed he earned the job, a perception he might have to battle since he was drafted so high-to replace imprisoned quarterback Michael Vick- and signed a six-year, $72 million contract.
