Try again. Rivers is damn good. The chargers were not for a couple of years. None of that was his fault.

Okay? We made the playoffs last year with Tyrod. Every GM in history would take Rivers over Tyrod. What's your point?

24-10 Ravens

We have delusional fans on this board who think we are going to win 12+ games. Why does this surprise you that a team's forum is filled with homers?

He has almost 9k yards and 61 tds over the last two seasons Last year he posted 4500 with 21 td 10 int

I was being sarcastic. Sky makes things up all the time.

Skydiver making assertions on invisible evidence? Never.

that's fine, they don't need to cover the other receivers so they'll have at least 2-3 dbs avail at all times

Has to be the rookie deals for Goff, Kupp, higbee, and a couple others cooks extension pays him less this year, and it jumps next year that # is going to jump really fast

Talent is talent. You aren't winning games with a bunch of guys on your oline , WR, CB2, and LB who wouldn't make the PS on 50% of the teams in the league and wouldn't start on 95%

stop.

I'm not so sure that's true. If the offer was just straight up: 2019 1st 2020 1st Hughes for Mack then the Raiders valued Hughes at next to nothing because they received: 2019 1st 2019 3rd 2020 1st 2020 6th and gave up Mack 2020 2nd 2020 conditional 5th That means they valued the swap of: [giving up] 2020 2nd 2020 conditional 5th for [receiving] 2019 3rd 2020 6th over Hughes straight up. I am not sure why the Raiders would do that, unless they feel Hughes has ZERO value.

Coaching and QB are definitely the two most important. The game is not all about that though. There is a talent level that you need across the board at many key positions. Our offensive line and WR corps are tire-fires. It doesn't matter how good your QB is if you cannot protect him and he has nobody to catch the ball. It doesn't matter how good your coaching is if the players you have cannot actually execute the strategy/plays which the coach comes up with. We are devoid of any real talent at WR and oline save for KB being an above average receiver. Edmunds will have a rough rookie year I believe. He's got a LOT to learn, he's very young, but he's hungry, and seems to be a hard worker, so I'm thinking that he'll be looking really good by halfway through the season. We have some really good top guys (tre white, poyer, hyde, shady, even KB), some good young pieces (allen, edmunds, and a couple others), but after that we are SUPER thin. Our secondary is legit awful after white/poyer/hyde though, we have NO linebackers who are even above average (MAYBE milano) after Edmunds, who as I said, has some learning to do, and KW is our best Dlineman, the rest don't look good at all, and I feel like that's going to be a HUGE issue.

I actually think it's both. I also don't feel that gives him an excuse for being the way he is, i know plenty of crazy people who aren't aholes, I think it's just a fact of who he is: he'scrazy AND an ahole, and they amplify each other.

https://www.boltsfromtheblue.com/2010/2/8/1301176/why-did-the-chargers-let-drew Good article on the brees-Rivers decision. It has been said before that they let him walk because his shoulder was a nightmare injury. They made the right call based on long term medical evidence. Brees is a unicorn. They are. Sadly.

thanks dude!!

I'll ridicule him as much as I want. He's a dbag.

Pros: -he's a warm body -he's got a pulse -he isn't injured -he's able to walk onto the field and take snaps Cons: -he's nathan peterman (sorry I'm just joking. I don't mind the dude that much)

Exactly

2 int vs Baltimore 3 vs chargers bosa or engram he breaks his spine before the end of the half

I assume this will be for week two, I don't think np will be knocked out against Baltimore, but I'm pretty sure we need 6 QBs to make it past SD

Cannon fodder so that we don't have to throw Allen to the wolves after NP invariably gets injured behind our lack of a NFL quality line.

Gave him credit for the prediction. No problem there. Not giving credit for the reasoning. Not going to pat somebody on the back when the reasoning was completely off center and the prediction just happened to line up with what actually happened. Either way, it's what I wanted to happen, NP starting. I wished we had kept AJM because I see NP getting hurt behind the line, and being forced to throw JA in, but I see the value in the 5th rounder, I guess.

he has his due for calling him being the starter. he doesn't get his due for acting like he's the second coming of joe montana.

I thought np would be the starter only to save Allen from the wolves since our oline sucks. Burple, while correct in his prediction, seems to think it because he thinks np is the best QB we have.
