re: Greg Robinson vs. Jake Matthews at the NFL combine

Matthews came to A&M and was starting at RT a few weeks later in his first game as a True Fish.

I don't question Robinson's raw talent, I'm just saying it isn't significantly better than Matthews and when you consider all the other factors Matthews has just as high of a ceiling. If you look at the great OT's in the NFL they aren't all physical freaks, actually most aren't. Being a great OT isn't about playmaking really, it's about consistency and NOT making mistakes. That's a big reason why Matthews is a great prospect, especially when combined with the reality that he is physically gifted enough to do just about anything an OT could be expected to do and then some.

Both of them could be All Pro for a long time and both are very talented. I just can't get past the "much higher ceiling" comments.
