... this coming year and showed up in the post season ala suh, would you think he was a free agent failure?
No. Big time players...make big time plays...in big time games. Not little, but BIG time games.

if he did it again in 2020 would it make it worse or better?

personally, i don't think mr matthews is a coaster. i expect him to play up to whatever his health allows him to because that's his dna. i'm expecting more from matthews than suh but we'll see.
suh costed what, $14m for 1 year? matthews costs $9.3m for 2 years.
for me, if matthews pulls a suh for back to back years at 2/3rds the price of 1 year of suh, i'd consider it a big win.
I don't believe that compensation is relevent to this discussion. Each player received what the market would pay for their services.
I have a question for you now:
Would you feel satisfied if either Suh or Matthews balled out from September through November, but then "coasted" (your word) in December, January, and February?
