"Josh, you've probably never heard this before, but we're going to need you to score like 35, 40 points tonight. I know, I know...you're right, we did allocate nearly all offseason resources to the defense, but, uh, we still need 5 or 6 TDs, boss. We got you Josh Palmer, what more do you want?"

He hasn't grown, though. At all. Still runs the same defense that folds every year in the playoffs, still calls the same stupid timeouts, still can't figure out when/when not to challenge, still has the team playing tight in big games, etc. He is who he is. If they don't get to the Super Bowl this year (and I don't believe they will), you have to try something different. You can't just keep him forever and underachieve because you're worried that the NFL will never again have a new HC that ends up being good. This is irrelevant unless we're talking about a tee-ball squad.

I don't know why you guys torture yourselves with this stuff. This team loses 1-2 games in stupid fashion every year that kills their chance at the 1 seed, and this year will be no different.

That's what happens when you play to win and not concede a final drive to KC by handing off.

Haha, that's a kick-in-the-nuts way to lose.

That booth would look like someone rubbed a Cinnabon all over it after that 4th down conversion.

He's playing the team of the decade on a different continent and has 300+ yards and 3 TDs.

LMAO at all the criticizing of Herbert immediately before he completed roughly 39 consecutive clutch passes in a row and threw multiple TDs.

The odds of her being kidnapped for a $250 million ransom in a country like that are probably around 30%. Safer to just catch the home opener.

Teams never take advantage of that situation despite it making all the sense in the world. Maddening.

Who the hell is Marlon?

Go for two!

A broken condom on prom night is more reliable than the Chargers in a game against KC.

The drought really did a number on some fans. "McDermott 4 Eva" types really just like watching the team make the playoffs consistently and are fine with just that. Those who criticize McDermott believe that the goal is to win a Super Bowl, and not doing that with the most physically gifted QB in NFL history would be a gigantic disappointment. Best way to sum up the two camps.

Josh, you're at the point now in your career where, if some stylist on the set of a commercial suggests you wear a dress shirt and tie with capri sweatpants, you can just politely tell them "Absolutely not."

To McDermott's credit, we've missed out in like four SB trips due to an absolutely colossal injury on the defense.

"We'll get it done this year as long as we allocate all our draft picks and free agency signings to the defensive line and secondary."

Yeah, he went #7 overall. Meanwhile you and others are claiming that no one thought he would be good. Are you claiming he wasn't in play at #1? That that wasn't being reported all week? "The riskiest QB in the draft" doesn't go top-10. He would've been awesome on any team. Giving McDermott of all people credit for drafting him and coaching him up is laughable.

No, you are mistaken. It was definitely suggested that Cleveland might take him first overall, and it was also rumored that Seattle offered them Russell Wilson straight-up for the #1 pick so that they themselves could take Allen. Rewriting history is suggesting there was ever a chance he wasn't going top-10.

Always wondered if he went AWOL last year during that "personal absence" period and had to be talked out of retiring then.

I'm getting pretty tired of this increasingly popular opinion that's it perfectly fine to steal products and services from others as long as the victim of the theft is the more successful of the two parties. That's a bad precedent to set, as there are always people poorer than you.

Wow

The first time it happened with a streaming service (maybe Netflix?) the public should've put their collective foot down and agreed to cancel their subscriptions on a mass level. We didn't, and they all knew they could get away with it after that. Frog is completely boiled now.

He's decent, but I think everyone was expecting a lot more after he had 12 receiving TDs in the 2021 regular season and playoffs.
