Cushing or Clay?

whoever is on steroids

 

I mean I like Cushing because he works so hard his body produces steroids but...

Gonna have to go with Clay.

 

Its only been 2 season

Cushing was one of the best defensive players in the NFL in 2009 while Clay was one of the best in 2010

we will have to wait and see

 

Were gonna have to wait until after this season. Clay is an elite pass rusher but now we have to see how Brian can do as an ILB in the 3-4

 

Let's see what happens when Clay gets busted.

 

The 4 game suspension hurt cushing more than anything, he'll be ok. Right now I'd take clay, though.

 

I actually wanted the Texans to draft Matthews. I thought with his rise at SC and his bloodline, he was on his way too a nice NFL career. Now with the 3-4 being implemented, I think he may be a better fit.

Cushing is no slouch, great rookie year, but he has something to prove after this past season. Hopefully it was missing the four games that set him back and not the ped's.

 

in the 3-4? Clay obviously.

 

I'll have to wait after the next season and see how cushing does, but as of now I'll take Clay no doubt about that.

 

Cushing wasn't even bad after his 4 game suspension. He just wasn't game-changingly phenomenal.

 

Cushing when he was an overtrained athlete

 

They're both roided out of their minds.

 

Its a tie , they both lose

 

I'd still rather Cushing. Matthews is a great human missile, but swap them out and put him on last year's Texans D and he's not saving anything.

Cushing brings a lot more to the table with his ability to cover TEs and lock down the run game (in addition to blitzing). To me, that's more important than a one trick pony. That said, Matthews is as good as it gets with his one trick.

And like others have noted, they're both major roiders.

 

Deca or Dura?

 

Lawrence Taylor or Brian Bozworth?

 

I mean, is this even really a debate?? The results speak for themselves, do they not?? Clay Matthews has put together TWO massively productive seasons for the Packers, and was the centerpiece of a Super Bowl-winning defense, whereas Cushing had one ROTY-winning season which was subsequently put into question by steroid use. His second season was not only shortened by suspension, but even his time ON the field did not cause any waves. Both players' careers are still in their infancy, and Cushing will have every opportunity to succeed in this league, but as of right now, I think Clay Matthews blows Cush out of the water.

 

Whoever is better at cheating and getting away with it.
