First victim...and unfortunately, completely necessary.
Arbuckle deserves it too, if he wasn’t 29 and at the hip with Mateer, he’d be gone. I’d still like to see him go and us go to a more traditional offense.
You absolutely have no idea whether Mateer is gone or not.
You're right.
Tell you what: I'll keep my opinions to myself from here on out if you promise to do the same.
I don’t see how Mateer stay with all the big, life changing cash out there. Ie: see Cam Ward for an example. You can’t blame a kid for leaving for life changing resources. CF now officially sucks.
I really like Mateer but he is not an NFL QB. I can't blame the kid for looking to make his life changing money now while he can. I won't root for him once he leaves (if he leaves?) but I won't hate him.
I think it’s a little early to say that. He’s more suited for the NFL than Ward was at this point in his career. At least Mateers not fumbling the ball twice a game.
He's a good college QB and he has good stats...but those stats are fools gold. He is playing against bad competition and most of his hype is from his ability to run. He has very average arm strength and missed out on at least a half dozen TD's because his receivers outran his throws. He was consistently ineffective in the second halves of games. A lot of that falls on Arbuckle, but he cost us games by regressing to his weird sidearm throwing style at times.
If he stays at WSU and then goes on to the NFL, I'll root for his success....but I see Tim Tebow when I watch Mateer play. Tebow won a Heisman but didn't do squat in the NFL. I like Mateer and he was fun to watch in the first half of the season but the guy on the field right now is not a great QB.
