Wasn’t he a finalist this year? If so that means he’s going to get in.

I thought for sure he would finally get in because of this. I guess the longevity of his career made people think he was just a stat compiler.

Tony Grossi was the media member from Cleveland who made a presentation to the selection committee, and he said Matthews was so versatile, Schottenheimer would play him in every position in the front seven. Maybe voters didn't believe he was dominant enough at any of them. I don't know, seems like he got snubbed.
