Jordan Matthews makes Buffalo Bills front office look like a Genious!
Ok so I love Sammy and im a HUGE WATKINS FAN just like the next guy an wish he was still on the Squad but (BLEEP) happens.So the more I think about this Jordan Matthews deal the more I think it could turn out to be a steal. Just hear me out for a minute.
1. Matthews is at least a top 15 wide receiver in his on right with upside. I really don't understand all the hate that's coming from all the bills fans that are call him all kinds of names like scrub, trash, stone hands. An Yes I know he's had some bad drops in Philadelphia this past season but scrubs just don't put up a stat like this ( 1 of 5 WRs in history to start his career with (65+ catches & 800+ yards) 3 seasons in a row) by accident. Trash players don't just get lucky to get over 100 plus targets the kid can play.
2. Since Tyrod has problems with throwing his guys open. An the news about the new offense having alot of the short and intermediate routes like hook's, slant's, quick outs & ins,seems, screens, etc. What's better for Taylor then a player that doesn't need alot of separation to make a play on the ball. Matthews is a strong 6'3-215 pound wide out that's one of the best in the game at boxing out defender's & jump balls, Witch will play a huge roll on 3rd downs & Redone situations this season.
3. Matthews is still only 25 years old with upside and experience (225 catches, 2,000 plus yards & 19 tds in three seasons)
4. The kid is the ultimate competitor that shows a ton of leadership and love for the game ( A young Anquan Boldin), and his teammates have nothing but love & respect for him.( You guys should read what his PHI teammates posted about him on Twitter ) He sounds like the perfect McDermott type of player.
5. I have a funny feeling he has his best season of his Career with 85 catches 1,100 yards & 10 tds and comes at half the price of Watkins in the off season.
