But if you are going to make that argfument then you are going to have to say that every other O-liner coach in the leaguer was also stupid because Mathis could mnot get anything more than a league minimum contract.
There were plenty of people claiming Mathis was better than Livings while both were on the team. You might argue they were smarter Alexander. But as they say, hindsight is 20/20. I can look at what transpired and definitively claim Mathis is a better player than Livings and Alexander made the wrong decision. Only an obstinate fool would look at history and claim otherwise.
Quote:Livings was injured his firat year in dallas. he played injured and had surgery right after the season. he did not fully recover and had another "procedure" on his knee before training camp. The Cowboys worked out an injury settlement. He was out of thre league due to injury.
Livings was given a 2-4 week prognosis after the 2nd scope. That's not career ending. It's not even career threatening. That's a simple clean out. It's like changing the oil or rotating the tires. Not only is your claim Livings is out of the NFL because of injury bullshit, it's nothing but a damn lie.
Reminds me of when you claimed over and over again Joseph was too much of an injury risk to re-sign because he had the exact same foot injury two years in a row. Until I showed you it wasn't even the same foot before you STFU.
Quote:Every NFL team was able to see those 114 snaps and Mathis looked so bad he could not get more than a league minimum contract. This is you again claiming that you are smarter than every other GM and O-line coach in the league. Mathis looked bad. That is why he was playing behind Livings instead of winning starting time like he did before he was hurt in '09.
Seriously, just listen to what you are trying to argue. . . "Mathis's play did not change from '09 to '10. Instead Paul Alexander just forgot who Mathis was during the off season and could not remember that he was starting Mathis the year before."
That's not my arguement at all. My argument is Paul Alexander was wrong in his evaluation; he made a mistake. Why do I believe that? Because I can look at the results and I'm not an idiot. Unlike some people who claimed a player had the exact same injury two years in a row, but the exact same injury didn't even affect the same damn body part.
You did this same crap with Bratkowski. What's he doing now? While the two OCs who replaced him moved on to HCing gigs. Instead of starting a thread questioning which retread DE the Bengals will sign maybe you could start a thread questioning which retread coach the Bengals can sign who will telegraph the plays to the defense by the formations he uses? I really miss reading those threads with you defending everything Bratkowski did, the same as you do with Alexander.
