I knew the point had whooshed right past you right when you compared their height. There's a reason I specifically said:
Then you go on to cherry pick stats. No one cares how many recs Matthews had. Torrey had more yards. Yards matter more than recs. The fact Torrey did more with less is not somehow a positive for Matthews, but you get an E for effort on that attempt to spin Matthews' inefficiency as a good thing. But again, I don't really care about that because I was never comparing their playing style. Or their height
And I don't know why you are brushing past year 3 for Matthews when discussing his career trajectory. Year 3 was clearly a step down from years 1 and 2. The injured year 4 was another step down, but year 4 alone does not make a downward trajectory.
@ Matthews being "at least a clear #2". First of all, I was talking fantasy. Secondly, no.
If Matthews career never takes back off, it won't be due to last year's injury. That would be a laughable explanation. It's not like he shredded his knee.
I'm not anti-Matthews, FWIW. I was just stating my perceived odds of him turning things around after two down years and now a 1-year contract while buried on the depth chart.
