Comments on: Ryan Mathews: I’m about to blow it away http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/07/18/ryan-mathews-im-about-to-blow-it-away/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Wed, 19 Jun 2013 15:10:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: whitemike55 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/07/18/ryan-mathews-im-about-to-blow-it-away/#comment-1886550 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 12:42:29 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1054779#comment-1886550 As a Texans fan, still very glad we didn’t draft him.

Once drafted by the Chargers he said “I’m so glad Houston didn’t pick me, I didn’t want to go there.”

Funny how things work out. We now arguably have the best RB in league. Oh, and been to the playoffs, unlike the Chargers in last 2 years since you were drafted.

Dude can’t stay healthy for 16 games….. Isn’t even all that great when he’s in there…. At some point you have to admit you made the wrong pick…..

He’s certainly not making anyone forget about LT…. If anything, he’s just frustrating the fan base…

He will be have the break out season they are predicting.
Not sure comparing him to Romo is accurate, considering Mathews has been in the league for 2 years. 1 offseason his rookie intro and the other a lockout.

He was lazy last year and he heard about it. That embarrassed him and he said “I don’t want to feel like that again.” I believe the kid. If he stays healthy he may just lead the league in rushing. I’m not one for FF but I would take him this year.

I think he should be a lot more concerned about how his coaches and teammates saw him, which was as an underachiever at the very least.

Matthews is the RB version of Romo: always the center of conversation saying this is his year finally and he always ends up falling short of expectations. It’s a pass happy offense in San Diego and running behind McClain (who will be begging for carries by week 4) doesn’t help much either. I’d say he averages 80 yds/GM and ends up with 10 td’s in 16 games. Not terrible just not what the media is hyping him up to be.

80 yards a game equals 1280 rushing yards not to mention the 50+ catches he will probably get. Don’t spew nonsense

AJ was around for LT, so he should be ok also.

Last year, after Dielman went down, Matthews played extremely well.

My only question is if he can stay healthy for 16 games? If he can, I expect great things from Matthews this year.
