  • Ryan Matthews

    No smack, just wanted to get some of you Dolt fans opinions on Matthews 8 games in so far.

    Good pick, or should of went somewhere else with the pick, and keep the 2nd round pick.

    Well, so far, he's definitely not Tomlinson....

      too early to tell, especially since he has been banged up. i am curious to see what you think, is he a bust?

        Having him on two fantasy teams with the 9th pick overall has been a COMPLETE bust.....

        He's healthy now, and Tolbert is still getting 15 touches a game, and Sproles is getting 8 minimum.

        Matthews has done literally nothing.

          He reminds me of Knowshon this year, only for the reason that both keep getting banged up, and cannot really showcase their talents. I've seen enough of Matthews to know he is good if he isn't hobbled.

            Very true about the injuries.

            No, he's not a bust, players should get 3 years, sometimes more before they can be determined a bust or not. Or you can tell right off the bat if they are a bust.

                Too early to tell as Baph said and he has been banged up. Chargers need a better O-line imo which is why LT was able to go the Jets and succeed. Better offensive line. But he's shown talent anyway, my sig bet is looking like a win!

                  He's not a bust....but, he is a disappointment. He was supposed to get 300 touches this year and was be a shoo-in for OROY.

                  I have no idea how much his injuries have held him back, but that was the knock against him getting drafted so early - injury prone.

                  After watching LT play injury free for about 7-8 YEARS....it's hard to watch a draft pick as high as Mathews not be healthy all year.

                  With that said, his yards per attempt isn't horrible.....so, there is hope.

                    Let me put it this way.

                    When some Bolts have been saying Moreno is a bust and what not, which btw is a ridiculous and unfair argument at this point in time, most of us have been saying it's too early to tell.

                    Same for Mathews, difference being it's FAR too early to tell yet whether he's gonna be a bust or not. Bias aside, he's got a lot of upside and potential in him still that I like so lets see how that works out down the road.

                      The difference is that Moreon was healthy in his rookie year and had 250 carriers. Yet, he averaged less than 4 yards a carry and only had 2 carries over 20 yards. So....Moreno is a bust.

                        Uh-huh-

                        I expect a less biased opinion from you. What exactly was LT's YPC his rookie year? Did he endure an offensive line going through a scheme change?

                          Don't call this bull on me BH. If you're gonna put Moreno down, the least you can do is try.

                          Get real. It's got nothing to do with being healthy lol.. that's just plain ignorant. Moreno has been behind an o-line that sucks and while he's no powerback, he's been doing alright given the circumstances and what he's been given to work with. Look at Buckhalter, his ypc was higher in Philly. Moroney had a better ypc when he was with the Pats.. guess that tells ya nothing.

                          Moreno is working his ass off in there on every damn play and was about the only Bronco player left in the 4th quarter that kept fighting for every yardage in the Raider game.

                          When you evaluate players and their performance, you take relevant factors into consideration, and you don't compare healthy players to those injured lol.. you thought some Bronco was gonna do that to Mathews didn't you? haha

                            Too early to crown him a bust.
                            Besides, consider Rivers has had to try time and time again to lead this team out of holes which is why we have been a pass heavy team, especially in the 2nd half of games. The Titans game was definitely a well balanced game with both run and pass. I think he'll be fine and we have yet to see him mature into a full fledged elite RB but right now its just too early to label him a bust. 2 things I've noticed is that he's got to better secure the ball and also needs to get a better feel for what's a hole and what's not, its all a matter of timing knowing when to burst and when to cut.

                              I wish he wasn't a bust (too early to tell) but for this years fantasy football he's killing me as he's for sure bust worthy...we'll see how he does in future seasons. but much like with knowshon it's too early to tell.
