Comments on: Extension or not, Clay Matthews is getting a raise http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/02/18/extension-or-not-clay-matthews-is-getting-a-raise/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Thu, 23 May 2013 19:40:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: gnarlswoodson http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/02/18/extension-or-not-clay-matthews-is-getting-a-raise/#comment-2344186 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 16:03:59 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1740959#comment-2344186 conormacleod says:Feb 18, 2013 8:09 PM

He is a good player, but overrated. Look at his tackle numbers. Absolutely horrible. He is a solid pass rusher, but many offenses account for him and he disappeared for weeks at a time last year, and he stunk the year before. He deserves a mid level contract. His skills will decline quickly in about 3 years.

———————————————————

The second somebody tries talking about tackle numbers for a 34 OLB is the same time they lose all credibility in the point they are trying to make. It truly is amazing how so many people comment with such a miniscule understanding of this game. I don’t go commenting on sci-fi talk do I ?

I like the guy but his impact on games have shrunk every year. He runs himself out of plays and gets master blasted but elite left tackles. I’m a packer fan but I think fans build him up to be a whole lot better than he really is.

The dude gets it.

Sign Aaron and Clay they deserve it.

Let Raji go he is not nearly as effective
Since Cullen Jenkins left.

This is a defensive and offensive line draft
So replace him with a player this year.

If she and her crybaby quarterback didn’t soak up so much money, maybe they could afford to pay a few more players and actually have a team that isn’t a one-hit wonder.

You need to stop reading headlines and read some articles.

Clay Matthews is EASILY one of the top 3 front 7 guys in the NFL today. The guy is insane, had 13 sacks last year and missed how many games? 3 more in 2 playoff games. Unless you watched every Packers game last year start to finish, then you have no idea how good he really was. So many geniuses on here who comment as if they could even explain the difference between Cover 2 and Cover 3, or even tell me the name of the position Clay plays.

The only thing “all-around” about Matthews was his head trying to find Kaepernick in the NFC Championship…..

He does a much better job in pass protection and he’s very good against the run. Don’t let the sack numbers fool you – he’s an all-around guy now. He will come in next season jacked up and geared for a monster year and thus a monster extension, he won’t sign anything this offseason.

So yeah, you don’t really need to be Nostradamus to see that he’s in line to become very wealthy.

He is a priceless pass rusher and with Nick Perry coming back off his injury, this is going to be a fun couple of years for the Packers D.

Hopefully the Packers will keep that in mind when they determine his value to the organization.

I wouldn’t do anything with BJ Raji for now. Have a bad feeling about him once he gets the big contract, hope I’m wrong.
