Chargers | GM unhappy with Ryan Mathews’ fumbling issues

San Diego Chargers general manager A.J. Smith said he is not happy with RB Ryan Mathews’ chronic fumbling issues since entering the league and that Mathews will lose some playing time if he is not able to improve his ball security. ‘I am very concerned, and it has to stop,’ Smith said. ‘I believe you can improve in ball security. And no one works any harder in trying to get better than Ryan. However, if it continues he will play less.’ Mathews has fumbled 11 times since joining the Chargers. He is averaging a fumble every 42 1/2 times he touches the ball and losing a fumble every 78 touches.

Our View: This is a ploy to motivate… Ryan Mathews. This is something to track, but it will some massive failings for Smith to abandon his golden child Mathews.
