Sammy, very few will miss you I'm with you. Bye Felicia. On a different note...Multiple Eagles sent messages on social media about Matthews’ departure, including quarterback Carson Wentz, who wrote “couldn’t ask for a better teammate & friend.” Tight end Zach Ertz wrote, “honestly don’t think a teammate had a bigger impact on my life.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be interested to see what this means for Shady. Both Jordan and Boldin are elite blockers. Zay should be a good blocker as well, but that has yet to be seen. Add that to an increased role in the passing game, and McCoy could be in for a MONSTER year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy, very few will miss you If that is actually his post (I dont do the twitter thing), those comment are another demonstration of the elitist mentality held by athletes and other famous people. I, for one; would HATE to be a famous person, especially and athlete. Other than the money, it has to be one of the worst jobs you can get, plus it's a short term career, and you have huge expectations. For someone like me, who truly doesn't worship the almighty dollar, these comments don't resonate. He comes off as a spoiled elitist. I hear enough of that from hollywood and the media. When you get your self-worth from something like football, and then your career is over, what do you have left? To each his own, so they say. To quote Chan "that's why Baskin Robbins has 31 different flavors", but I don't expect some kid who plays a game for a living talking down to working blue collar folks who truly support the country to a point of such exorbitant comfort that we can pay millions to football players, etc... Those comments make me dislike him, but I would not expect a vast divergence among his contemporaries. It is an American epidemic right now.

bobobonators Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 Sammy has played in 80% of games in his career. How many first down catches has Mathews dropped? There is a reason Philly didn't want him. To be technical, Sammy played in 77% of games in his career. And of those, he was actually healthy in about 50% (the 50% is purely subjective).

r00tabaga Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Solid, but not the player SW is. You could say the same about Sammy. Solid, but not as reliable as JM. Neither did the Rams. And they were DESPERATE for a WR. And they had a spare corner in Gaines for Philly. And guess what? THEY DIDN'T PULL THE TRIGGER. Because they didn't want Matthews!

We're doomed. He'll probably get cut before we leave Fisher. No worries. But in those 8 games Sammy didnt play last year and the ones in the year before that, we could've used a receiver like Jordan. #tanktalkisfortrolls Edited August 12, 2017 by r00tabaga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case you forgot, look for #81. I'm not saying those all fall under this category, but several looked like the type of pass EJ used to make - bad timing putting receivers into dangerous predicaments. Some were absolutely horrible, but many looked like errant, poorly timed passes. Edited August 12, 2017 by dulles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Matthews is a pretty good player. We'll have to see how well he does playing on the outside. thought he would be mostly be playing slot rec ?

Are you suggesting Boldin cannot run a sweet curl? : ) Jones will line up outside mostly I bet if they want to threaten deep. and Bills will have to find a speedster somehow.

The Voice of Truth Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 This guy is extremely productive....EXTREMELY productive. He has been in the league three years and his numbers are comparable to many greats. What the moves they just made say about this regime at the Bills is they are about productivity and not potential. So am I. I like it and think its an upgrade. Sammy was CONSTANTLY injured. I don't see that stopping. Best case scenario he has an absolute breakout year.. Then what? We pay him huge money and we're still not sure if he is durable. Jordan Matthews is an upgrade. I don't care how could somebody can be. I care how good they are and how productive they are. Matthews has proven he can be very productive three years in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
