Yes, there are other pitchers who are great for different reasons than why Ryan was legendary.

It's individual greatness. Which is fine; my contention with the Ryan worship is how so many people want to ignore wins, winning percentage, ERA, WHIP, FIP, and virtually every other pitching statistic at which his contemporaries (Seaver, Palmer, et al.) almost ALL were better at than Ryan. It's just ignoring a large part of what people think pitching is.
