He was supposed to visit Wednesday but it took him 2 days to get from the Uber to the facility

I was just gonna say - it would be fun to dig up the trade thread.  So many idiots here were proclaiming that Matthews was a true #1, better than Sammy, etc., and sneering at those of us who questioned it...

It was the production, Coach.  Look at the PRODUCTION!!!!   Never mind that Matthews is dragging an old tire and prone to dropsies.  

 

That thread was priceless.

He looked like a #3 TE slogging around out there.

He was Lee Smith minus the holding penalties.

So, there’s an upside! YAY!

Matthews is a solid player but this team needs a true number 1 opposite of Benjamin.  A player that can stretch the field and and play wideout.  Zay is our slot guy.

We need a #1 AND a slot guy...  Zay is only good when he's butt-naked, and matched-up against his brother.

I'm down with this.

Mathews is now feeling the Tyrod affect in FA. Only playing in 10 games last year does not help either due to injuries. Even in the games played he had less than 3 receptions on average.

 

Same applies to Benj who only had 16 catches over 6 games. Luckily he has another year to prove himself before FA with a different QB.

Thats what happens when u spend a year in WR purgatory

Yeah, it really hurt Woods, Watkins, Goodwin and Hogan as well. Those guys all signed at the beginning of FA (except Watkins who was traded) and were paid above their projected market value.

 

Matthews isn’t signed because he’s not a good player. He has no skills that differeniate him. He’d be smart to go to GB on a cheap “prove-it” deal and hope Aaron Rodgers can make him look better than he is. As of right now though the league is speaking pretty loudly on their thoughts regarding him. Remember, a year ago the Eagles were trying to give him away as he was 4th on their depth chart.

Wait until Landry and Josh Gordon get a taste of it. Landry will be going from 100 catches a year to watching Tyrod bounce around like Micheal Jackson for 8 sec, only to dump it to a for 2 yds on 3rd and 11.

Who is calling Matthews a #1 WR?  Is it him???  Or just the OP?

Pretty sure you were one of the posters promising that his production would be equal to or better than Sammy’s...

I may have said that; and I certainly believe you if you're saying that I did.  However, I have also stated that Sammy was not the best receiver on the Bills (Woods was); nor was he with the Rams; nor will he be with the Chiefs.

Probably just sight seeing. Because he is garbage.

clearly hes garbage,  i mean he came to a team with a QB who couldnt throw the ball.

 

every WR that left this team in the last 3 years has been successful elsewhere,  must be the garbage recievers fault

And immediately after woods, goodwin, and Hogan left Buffalo they put up way better numbers.   I'm not saying Matthews is a top-tier wide receiver but he had decent production with Philadelphia before coming to Buffalo.
