Jordan Matthews isn't a great WR but he's at least a good one.

 

Anyone who doesn't recognize Matthews as being a decent WR either A) has no idea what they are talking about or B) Has an ax to grind

Maybe, but let's be honest: would you consider our WR corps serious enough to consistently compete for a playoff spot, even with Matthews being healthy?

I guess I wouldn't rule out a trade, but a WR is a tricky add in October because they would need to learn the offense and would have had zero reps with TT. By the time they are up to speed, jmatt is probably back. Plus they use their WRs less than any other team.

Regardless, it's a huge loss.

Good thing we have a bye week coming up. Zay needs to figure things out.

His problem is that he is thinking too much. He needs some short quick throws that he can catch that hopefully will give him a boost of confidence and loosen him up. His nerves are overwhelming psyche.

 

Tyrod Taylor is not a high volume passer. When receivers drop passes they have more of a crushing effect.

They use their WRs less than any other team because they have the worst WR corps in the league.

 

That being said, I agree with your main point, adding a WR at this point wouldn't be the immediate gain that many are hoping for. It takes time to mesh with the offense/QB.

Huge blow. And it was such a bad throw. I know I will get hammered for being anti-Taylor... that might have been his worst play of the game.

Ever consider that a more forward throw would have been intercepted? That play was defended well.

You probably aren't getting someone immediately impactful and odds are this is a month long type of injury -- doubt a trade makes sense

With the way Zay has the dropsies, we actually could have a need for a guy beyond just the month that Matthews will be out. Not sure who we could get though. I guess you would knock on the door of some 0-4 teams.

That was a pretty bad play call if that's the one that got him hurt it's a shame. It puts the WR in a defenseless position while heading directly towards 240lb linebackers.

It's a play that every single team in the league runs around the goal line.

No, I think our WR unit isn't where it needs to be. Matthews would be a good #2 option preferably in the slot where he is at his best. We need a true #1 and I'm guessing next year's draft we will address that.
