Was there anyone else tonight who didn't know whether to laugh or cry after watching Mateo play tonight? He was making line breaks at will and would have laid on a few more tries than he did if he had more support. I know alot of posters here think he's lazy but he has been in great form over the past few weeks.
Everyone has always known how talented Mateo can be. He had a great debut season in 2007 and carried the team through a mediocre 2008. Admittedly he had a poor start to the 2009 season and missed alot of it due to injury but he played a crucial role in the teams run to the finals and was one of the Eels best in the decider.
I think due to the combination of his poor form early last year and the teams mediocre form this year alot of fans here wrote him off too early and think he won't be a huge loss (short memories if you ask me). After watching tonights performance I can't help but disagree. I know alot of people will say we couldn't match the warriors offer but does anyone else think we made a mistake by making Mortimer a priority sign over Mateo? If I had to choose between the two I know who I would have tried to tie up first.
Were there even any attempts made to sign up Mateo early on before the warriors had a chance to get in? I think we saw tonight he can do things other players can only dream of and we may have made a huge error in judgment.
Thoughts?
