    ...the fuck? When you have to start a post off with shit like this, something's wrong.

    You must be talking about the Boise State game? A game in which Mathews had three runs of over 60 yards against a pretty damn good Boise State defense.

    He didn't show case any ability? The kid ran for 234 yards and 3 TDs against a team that went undefeated.

    Top flight speed? He had three runs of over 60 yards in one game!

    I'm glad you visited NFL.com's Top Performers page.

    4.45 at 218 pounds is better than good.

    I'm glad you think the 20 yard shuttle matters so much. Mathews still had a time that put him in the top half of his position group.

    He's a running back...who the hell cares how high he can jump? Let's draft Pat Paschall out of North Dakota State because he has a better vert than Mathews!

    See this: His career YPC is over 6 yards.

    Denial. Not the river in Egypt but the warped sense of reality that defines your perspective. You're a liar and a fraud. Shall I compile an extensive list of your bullsh*t?

    If you don't want to treat others with any respect, that's fine. Don't expect any in return. If you wish to act like a baby then you then don't cry like a bitch if you choke on your own bottle.

    Don't you have a job to do? It seems to me like you have a lot of free time on your hands.

    If you want to compile an extensive list of my opinions, go right ahead. In return, I'll compile an extensive list of your thread derailing posts.

    I treat plenty of posters around here with respect, but only those who deserve it. ...and yeah, that is fine. I don't want any in return. I don't expect it.

    Baby jokes again? You're so mature and experienced.

    This is a thread about Ryan Mathews. However, when I attempted to discuss the prospect with you in a "civilized" way, you shit your pants. You were wearing your green goggles a few days ago, and got defensive when I said Reggie Bush is better than Leon Washington.

    matthews or greene, MR E?

    personally for fantasy i went with Greene, and it's not cause I'm a Jets fan. Mainly because the Jets line > SD and they run more often than SD.

    Both backs have very inconsistent health...so both players are gambles.

    If it's a PPR league, I'd go with Mathews.

    Norv Turner has said many times that he's going to give Mathews more than 300 total touches.

    I do agree with you that the Jets' offensive line is stronger, but San Diego gets to play Kansas City and Denver twice.

    If Mathews stays healthy, he'll set this league on fire.

    Mathews has looked like a grown-ass man during the preseason, and it looks like SD has full confidence in him as a franchise back.

    I traded for the #1 pick in my keeper league to snap him up, and I'm very happy with that decision. Dude is for real.

    Matthews got 20 touches on a pass first team. He had a good game. I don't see what the problem is?

    Sproles got 5 carries and two catches foer a total of 7.

    On the last drive, Sproles was on the field instead of Mathews. I really don't know why the hell Turner decided to hand the ball off to an infant sized running back inside the ten yard line when his team needed to score.

    My only thought on that was they decided to give the ball to the Vet because of the earlier fumble by Mattews. Its typical coach thinking in football, the vet is always more sure handed. Silly at times but typical.

    I agree that it's the smarter decision to leave the vet in, but when you're that close to the endzone, you need to hand the ball to a bigger back.

    That draw play to Sproles at the end of last night's game was such a horrible play call.

    Well, only horrible if your not cheering on the chiefs lol.

    Yea, you typically see the bigger back at the goal line and with all that was invested in Mathews I would expect it. Sadly last night I fell asleep before the final drive.

    ...But this is the chargers. The "LT is done" chargers. Yep, he looked shot for us last night. :smile:

    Mathews looked great for the most part. Exactly as advertised.

    Now how about a report on Lattimore, he looked like a fucking beast against Gerogia, but he may get the wheels run right off him. For a true freshman the Kid has good power and a little burst. :up:
