i dont hate this move. I think he will give us at least 2 Kickoff return touchdowns this season.

Re: Jerome Mathis signed
 

People, before you go singing the guy's praises and giving him the benefit of the doubt because Mathis has only been involved with "one" incidient that should concern us, PLEASE do you homework. If you had read the earlier posts in this very thread you would have seen that there was also an incident in which Mathis got into a fight with one of his own teammates. And, a quick visit to NFL.com reveals the following:

"Mathis has had two recent run-ins with the law. In December, he received a misdemeanor citation after his pit bull chewed through a fence and was behaving aggressively. In February, he was charged with assaulting his pregnant common-law wife, a charge that was later dropped at the woman's request."

So we've got 1. fight with teammate; 2. choking his pregnant wife (and leaving red marks according to reports); and 3. letting his mean pit bull chew through a fence (what kind of a dog even does that?......perhaps we can ask Michael Vick). Face it, this guy is a complete poop stain. I don't really care if he returns the ball 10 times for TDs this year, I don't want him on any team I cheer for. Get enough of guys like this and you become the Cowturds or Raiders.....sorry, not willing to pay that kind of price for success. This day in age in the NFL when character means more to most teams that ever before.......well, let's just say I'm just shaking my head over this one and leave it at that.

his dog got out ok i dont see how that is entirely his fault

Re: Jerome Mathis signed
 

For me, it's not the dog thing, it's the choking thing.

Sure, the charges were dropped, but MAN how do you get into that situation in the first place if you weren't doing SOMETHING wrong?

Agreed, I'm certainly most outraged by the choking story. Any man that would do that to a pregnant woman is a punk, plain and simple. I don't even care how the confrontation/argument got started.....just walk away.

Re: Jerome Mathis signed
 

When I choke my dog, it's because she walked away. If I would have choked my dog sooner, she wouldn't have gotten pregnant.

Hes a depth WR, maybe used for PR since Rock doens't do those. He probably signed a veteran minimum deal so if he F's up, a better WR becomes available or just cant produce on the field, they can cut him and not worry about it (no signing/roster bonus = no cap penalty if cut). Since Hackett and Caldwell signed elsewhere, they needed to fill in some depth at WR. Simple as that. Anyone waiting on a big FA signing and being dissappointed with this.... you are an idiot.

A lot of people used that argument against Sean Taylor and still to this day call him a "thug" because of that ATV situation where charges were DROPPED.

If he stays healthy, he's the best returner (outside of Hester) in the league.

Depth for WR, a great returner...I can't hate this move but I still wonder where it came from.

Just so we're clear of who exactly you are deeming to be idiots: is it those who are waiting on a Big FA signing only, or is it anyone who is disappointed with this signing?
