I'll preface this as I am a Cowboys fan. But I try to think logically when talking about sports.


I think he will have a good year. In that offense I am not sure what to expect. Receivers get open so he should put up numbers. But they also have Agular and Cooper and Huff plus RBs in Murray and Matthews and Sproles. Ertz and Celeck at tight end.

So He shold put up good numbers but a lot depends on what they plan to do with other guys needing touches too.

I get where you are coming from. Last year I drafted Maclin in a mid to late round, can't remember where, and it turned out to be probably my best draft pick.

I just figure he started to come on strong last year, and he seems to be the most logical person to pick up a majority of Maclins old targets (which were alot)

My draft isn't for another 2 weeks, and I am must trying to figure out if I can get another steal in Matthews this year.

Do you guys think Jordan Matthews comes anywhere close to sniffing the kind of production Maclin put up last year?
- Fryman4


Somewhat close. Not sure he gets 1500 yards but I think 1200 is within reason. Maybe 8-10 TDs. He has potential for 1500 though

He's looked fantastic in camp according to everything I've seen or read.

Does anyone have ESPN insider? I want to read the article about Hextall and the rebuild but not pay the insider thing.

I think he has a monster year. Hes their best Red Zone option. Even if Chip leans on the run game more this year, Matthews will put numbers. Also factor in Ertz's surgery and catch up time.

It might not.

I was actually thinking Brees. Colston hasn't done much and they traded Stills and Graham. I know they have Cooks but not sure. He is great QB but I think this might be a down year for him.

- J35Bacher


I dont think he had a 1,000 yard receiever last year and he threw 4900+ yards. I wouldn't count on it.

Depending on where I end up drafting, I am targeting him around 4.

Too early, too late?

Edit: Round 4 that is

He has the potential to be a very dominant wide out. Hell nearly 900 yards as a rookie on a team where he wasnt the primary target, the running back was potentially one of the top in the league for a few years, has two great receiving TE's and had a back up throwing the ball for half a season...

Agreed. I'll say 1,100+ and 7-8 TD's. More yards, roughly the same amount of TD's.

I actually think Nelson Agholar will outproduce even those numbers. If healthy, Eagles will have the most productive offense in the league. Forget the Colts. Gore will be solid if unspectacular and even if Andre Johnson stays healthy, I think people are going to be upset at how mediocre he performs compared to expectations.

If Bradford is healthy, this offense is gonna fly. I see three 1,000 yard players in Agholar, Matthews and Murray and I think Huff and Matthews will be good also. Huff could finish with 7-800 yards and 6+ or so TD's. Matthews has huge potential in this offense even with Murray if he can stay on the field. 1,000+ all purpose yards and double digit TD's.

I'm very excited to see this team, especially because I'm also a Panthers fan and our season just went out the window yesterday

This team has big time boom or bust written all over it.

The offensive line and health of the QB is a big time ?? BUT, if they pan out.. look out.

With that all said, I am even more excited about the defense.

I know I'm begging to be crapped on but after 14 momths of Ron Hextall becoming GM, what grade does he get? I'll be the first to say his drafting is great but I still view his signings as average and his trade as "Yet to be determinded". Del Zotto, Schultz, White and Bellemare isn't gonna start a bidding war. In terms of trades, we'll have to wait to see how Radko Gudas and Travis Konecny pan out. I'm just waiting on a trade that really is gonna take some balls to make. Much like the Richards, Carter and Pronger deals if they can put us over the top. The hires are also yet to be determined.

I give him a B+ because of the drafting in patience but I think he should have tried to add by mid season last season to keep us in the playoff hunt.


i'm pretty sure i wouldn't trade provorov (plus whatever asset would have to have been traded) for a bubble playoff spot or just missing and selecting 15th.....again

I don't know. That Colts team will be good. Look what Johnson has done with the scrubs he had in Houston throwing the ball. Yes he is older but he can still play.

And the two other receivers can absolutely fly in Dorsett and Hilton. Gore will get his yards. I like the Colts this year.
