Tiki Barber had these issues for a long time as did Adrian Peterson early in his career. Mathews is the kind of guy who if he puts it all together can be an all-pro for a long time to come. Hopefully he can pull his head out in time.

Why would anyone care who was benched, or not? Isn’t the idea to have the team win? I never understand why so many people get a stiffy for any individual player. You pull for the team and the town.

If turnovers are such a hot button for Turner shouldn’t he bench Rivers? He’s good for two picks per game.

I have agree with that sitting Mathews sent a message…STOP FUMBLING! and you’ll keep your job. Thank you.

Mathews was ineffective against the Chiefs, but it didn’t matter, Jackie Battle was/is a monster that was severely underutilized by the Chiefs. It was nice to see him, show them, what they let get away.

You get to a point where you have to make sure your message is heard loud and clear. Period.

We wrecked the Chiefs in that game and Matthews got to sit and watch rather than join the fun until the game was practically out of reach… it was an incredible decision and worked out to perfection.

I’m sure everyone noticed Matthews squeezing that ball with both arms when he entered into contact when he got his runs in the final minutes.

Well Played Norv, Well Played.

It’s a completely unpopular opinion but I like Turner.

I will say this much, he’s no where near as bad as people like to say he is. He puts a good game plan together and his players respect him. What more can you ask for?

He was brought in to replace a man who couldn’t win a playoff game with this talented squad, he did that. Let’s see what he can do in the playoffs this year (assuming they make it which I’m pretty sure they will)

If by “great trust” you mean that he’s going to fumble then yes.
