Absolutely. It's obvious that Mathews is done. Too many miles. He's all used up.DUMP Mathews? Do they really think he's worth releasing?

I wouldn't dump Mathews just yet, but you do have to factor into logic why a so-called gimpy back received so much garbage time. You do not take a risk like that with the game out of reach, unless, of course the injury isn't so bad. It tells me that Tolbert will probably get the majority of carries, but not all of them, especially after Mathews ran so well late in the game. 65/35 split sounds about right (+/- 5).
If anything the roles have reversed, now Ryan is the handcuff.

Unless of course its just an injury that cant be reaggravated but is still potentially hampering him

I remember about 6 years ago when our league was still using Yahoo, they had a news break saying that Clinton Portis was out for the season due to a weight lifting accident. The Portis owner at the time dumped him after the report to pick up his back-up (we have limited roster spots) and the report was later corrected 8 hours later. Completely hilarious..

To be fair to Yahoo - They report/repost what has been reported from other sources like Stats Inc or Rotowire. They clearly credit the source at the end of the comment. This paticular comment came from...
Stats Inc which is Wikipedia says "is a global sports statistics and information company – the company name originated as an acronym for "Sports Team Analysis and Tracking Systems". It was founded on April 30, 1981[1] by John Dewan,[2] who became the company's CEO. STATS was an outgrowth of the grassroots non-profit Project Scoresheet, a volunteer network created to collect baseball statistics, prompted by a suggestion made by Bill James, who later joined STATS for a time. In 1987, STATS developed a reporter network for Major League Baseball and provided research for NBC's postseason baseball coverage, and by 1989 was doing the same for ESPN's broadcasts."

This is old news. Pennstater77 and EdwardCat were already making this recommendation five minutes into the Chargers/Cardinals game. You got to be fast to get a leg up on those two sharks.

Would anyone care to explain why Norv would put their future at risk in a blowout? Ankle sprains, especially high HAS', for running backs is equivalent to a thoroughbred sustaining a leg injury. If anything it appeared that Norv preserved Tolbert, not Mathews, similar to Shonn Green coming in for LT. I just think his AS was overstated because of when his minutes came. Sorry I don't trust coaches when it comes to giving viable information that is useful, ie. Andy Reid. Norv is talking out of both sides of his face, if he didn't start Ryan because of multiple health concerns, than why would he play him in what amounts to mop-up minutes. I like to base my thoughts off of the results, which in this situation is a RBBC, you've gotta admit that Tolbert has earned a sizeable role. If not you're delusional, and you'll continue to get disappointed on a weekly basis because your expectations were so high to begin with. Do whatever you want, but don't just dismiss Tolbert as if he were an afterthought. He has been a complete stud, outside of the Seahawks game where he actually played well considering the run-d and environment.
