FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Matt Ryan made it all look easy at the beginning of his NFL career.As a rookie, he guided the Atlanta Falcons to the playoffs. For the first five years of his career, he never experienced a losing season, a stretch that included two division titles and a Super Bowl near-miss.But, at age 31 and coming off the teams third straight non-winning season, Ryan finds himself at a bit of a crossroads.The quarterback known as Matty Ice still has the full confidence of his coaches and teammates, but a question keeps popping up around the city: Is he the right guy to lead the Falcons to their first championship?Matt is a guy whos been on a mission since the season ended, said Dan Quinn, the teams second-year coach.Ryan is always reticent about looking at the big picture, and hes not about to change that perspective.Still, its clear hes extremely driven to improve on the last three years.I think every year you have a great sense of urgency because you just never know, you never know how things are going to shake out, Ryan said Wednesday, looking ahead to the season opener against NFC South rival Tampa Bay.Obviously, we won a lot of games my first five years, and that hasnt been the case the last three, but none of that matters. What matters is this season. For me, is there extra motivation? I think your motivation continues to build the longer you play in your career. I think you become more and more motivated to be great, to play at a high level and to win more games.A year ago, he never seemed to find his comfort zone with new offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. Even with one of the leagues best receivers in Julio Jones, Ryan threw only 21 touchdown passes (the lowest since his rookie year in 2008), was picked off 16 times (the second-highest total of his career) and wound up with a rating of 89.0 (his worst since 2009).That put him 20th in the NFL, right between Oaklands Derek Carr and Miamis Ryan Tannehill. In other words, not exactly an elite quarterback neighborhood -- especially for someone who got a $103 million contract extension three years ago.There was plenty of speculation about Shanahans future after the Falcons squandered a 5-0 start last season, finishing 8-8 to miss the playoffs for the third year in a row.But Shanahan is back for his second season, and Ryan expects a much more cohesive relationship.I think a lot was made about a little, Ryan said. Anytime youre not winning a bunch of games, youre always looking to see what you can do to be better.What made last years performance really stand out -- and not in a good way -- was a perplexing series of turnovers.Ryan was picked off four times in the red zone, something you just dont expect from a seasoned quarterback who supposedly spends as much time in the film room as anyone. He also lost five fumbles.The thing that we got in trouble with as an offense last year was turnovers, Quinn said. That part of our game was a significant one. We performed well in a lot of areas, a lot of areas. We played extremely well on third down ... we ran it well, we had explosive plays, but we didnt take care of the ball well as a group.Ryan knows hes got to cut down on the silly mistakes. Theres no need to force a play when hes got weapons around him such as Jones and running back Devonta Freeman.You want to play really aggressive at the quarterback position, Ryan said. The turnovers you want to eliminate are the ones you can control. Theyre going to happen. Thats part of the game. But you want to take back the ones where you feel like you just gave them one.Theres no thought, at least within the organization, of making a dramatic change in course.Ryan is the Falcons undisputed leader, for better or worse.Hes going to be successful, said defensive lineman Jonathan Babineaux, the only longer-tenured member of the Falcons than Ryan. Its just a matter of how successful hes going to be.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .

Today I am breaking my relationship with @HawkersMX. I will never let anyone make fun of my country.The topic was raised again at Perezs media session on Thursday at Interlagos ahead of the Brazilian Grand Prix. Perez said he decided to end his affiliation with the whole company -- which was in the process of making 20,000 limited-edition Perez sunglasses.I decided to split with them. I think it was a very misfortunate comment about my country, which is not fully related to the brand. It is mainly the community manager, but I have decided to split with the brand because I am not in favourr of those comments at all.ddddddddddddI didnt see the reason and I didnt find it funny at all. We are basically working on the agreement to split. I feel sorry because it is a great brand. They have done really well, but I am not willing to stay there because basically I think the brand should be in charge of the community manager. I didnt find it funny at all.Although he appreciates the comment was made by one person working for the company, Perez said he had to cut ties out of loyalty to his country.Obviously I am very sorry and [the owners] are very sorry because it is a great brand. I know the owners and they have done incredibly well and I think the relationship was going to be very successful. But my country and my people come first and I want to support and I wont let anyone make fun of my country. It is a shame the brand pays for it because it is a mistake from one person. I am sure he regrets it now but it is how things are sometimes in life.Perez declined to reveal the value of the Hawkers deal.? ' ' '
