Jerome Mathis signed

Jerome Mathis has Kickoff returns for TD, he didnt really do Punts that much in Houston

my mistake...but I still dont see this as a reason to dump betts

i would rather have signed Johnny Mathis, but chances are....

That's funny. I guess most are too young on this board to get that one.

"Walkin in a winter wonder land"(lulz). I grew up listening to Johnny Mathis around Christmas time. Lots of great memories.

I got it but I wasn't old enough to come up with another Mathis song other than that one.

...Point and round awarded to dmek25.

OK, I will admit, I do not know much about Mathis off the field issues, but this guy is a GREAT kick returner. One of the best in the league. I for one and glad he is here. Cartwright had good numbers, but he benefitted from better ST coaching. If Mathis were doing those kickoffs, he would have done better. Of course, that is just my opinion though. I look forward to seeing what he could do.

I agree with you, I think that he and Cartwright will be very deadly on kickoff returns. Didn't Mathis turn in the fastest combine 40 time ever?

No that honor goes to Dieon Sanders. I believe his 40 time was 4.18. However Mathis apparently ran a 4.1 at his pro day.

Yeah, I knew the Deon Sanders has/had the fasted combine time but I am pretty sure that mathis time was faster...

Not sure if it was the fastest ever, but according to nfldraftscout.com he ran a 4.28. That's pretty darn fast.

He possibly ran faster at his pro day.

All this talk about his character seems to be stemming from 1 incident. Granted it's not a good incident, but who knows, the "common law" wife could have made it up cause she was being hormonal. To label the guy as poor character after 1 incident is not in good taste.
Then again, if you guys know of other incidents, I'd like to hear them, and I will change my judgement.
