Given the choice, would you have preferred Matthews over Mack?

In a vacuum, yes. But w/ the availability of OT prospects and Mike Tice coming in to coach up the OL I'm thinking Mack might've fulfilled a bigger need.

Nevertheless, this is a family biz for Matthews. You can't overestimate the coaching and mental aspect he's going to bring to this. Zero chance of getting a fat contract and sitting on his heels, zero chance of off the field trouble, etc. I've heard both him and Clay Matthews say that it's the name on the back of the jersey that matters, and that's what they play for. Love that family attitude.
