Yeah but Gore is better than him and Mathews would probably not be a guy to build around. He'd be lucky to make it 2 years on the Colts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisEagles Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 We couldn't cut Matthews without paying him an injury settlement if he couldn't pass a physical, that's why we waited so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle21121 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 A classic Ryan Matthews moment was in the only season in which he played all 16 games he got hurt in the playoffs and Ronnie Brown whom I'd almost forgotten was on the team had a 70+ yard TD run.

It's not any more complicated than the above. Mathews so risky injury wise it's unclear if he will even get a FA sniff. The RB position is so disposable these days.

His injury history makes him a significant risk beyond a single season. Nobody is building around him, that ship has sailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I think he'll get signed at some point mid-season once the injuries hit. he probably wouldn't be a bad pickup, until he gets injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also like to add that he has no vision, can't block for crap and is lazy. Pretty much always shows up to camp out of shape. So in summary soft, lazy, with major ball security issues looking for work. I'd be surprised if anyone even calls. He's done and can now focus full time on those 40 man raids.

The only thing that remotely resembled that was in 2011. And that only happened because it was during the lockout and because he failed a conditioning test, which got blown way out of proportion. How else do you explain having one of his best seasons with the Chargers afterwards? The truth of the manner is that the guy was great when he could stay on the field and didn't fumble. He definitely made our line a lot better than it was. You could see the difference in 2014 when he was out, and other people were running behind that oline. I wouldn't mind taking him back if as a backup if he was healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
