The objective fact is that after three years of NFL football, Matthews is a better OLB than is Orakpo. That may change over the course of their careers, but for now...

This is NOT to diminish in any way the fact that Brian Orakpo is an excellent OLB and one that the Redskins cannot afford to lose.
