DX hurts his knee(Confirmed Lost For Season)

[captaind]

That's why, even when I "retired", I never stopped reading the posts here. Extremely entertaining, on all fronts: sarcasm, quips, misspellings, spats, knock-down-drag-outs, feuds, etc. Oh, and some of the football posts are fun to read, too.

Liar! :runaway:

Now that the first pre-season game is here, hopefully we won't have to waste bandwidth worrying about whether our coach is a liar because he didn't say the correct thing in response to a question about a player's injury.

His poll numbers are sinking.

Edit: I meant "pole" numbers.

This one is going to hurt,unless TT goes out and signs a high profile WR. On top of that,the game is blacked out folks,another black
eye to us fans.Nice start to the opening of Chargers first preseason game,go to the radio nearest you.

What "high profile" not Washed up wr do you suggest?

ACL tears can be a walking type of injury. My friend finished a pickup basketball game after he tore his ACL, didn't realize until later the significance of the injury. DX probably downplayed it, and then they diagnosed it later. BFD.

Whatever the best Free Agent that is available.Because with what they have right now,I don't even know if they can make it
to 8-8 .Maybe Vincent Brown can make an impact and change the scene of things,and I'm yet to see anything from Meachem
and Royal.The WR corps hasn't been the same without Vincent Jackson,and before DA's ACL injury the chances were greater.

some of you need to look around at other teams depth charts at WR before crying for help. vincent brown is a #1 type talent, I dont care what his height is. keenan has been coming on strong in training camp and floyd is solid. after that, one of the royal,meachem, willie group will have to step up but those guys might not even see the field unless there's another injury

Trade Meachum for Riley Cooper!!!

[cyberbolt]

He's done for the season.

Uh, yeah...I got that.

Are we really in a position where we want a FA to come in? Brown was ready to take next step up when he got hurt last year. Meachem was ready to go from a boarderline 2nd/3rd guy for him to take the next step up. Royal needs to recapture his old form. I still think Floyd has a chance to step his game up some if we can put enough help around him. I haven't seen him, but it sounds like he will either be ready to start getting some reps to step his game up, or will be ready soon.

With all those guys that need some playing time to step their games up, why would we want to bring in someone new? Lets see who answers the bell. If, we can get an all pro, fine, then it's worth the price, but taking some has been to a rebuilding team isn't going to help us. We have the chance to play their way into being one of our future starters (at least Brown and Allen can), so why not let them earn that chance. They may not respond, that is always a problem if it doesn't happen, but that is why we should keep Meachem and Royal until at least the final cutdowns.

unless we become very pass happy again, we aren't in desparate need for more wrs.

Friends, there is a reason why the Chargers were able to sign Alexander off the street last season. And it is the same reason why they were able to offer him a relatively low tender and no other NFL team moved on him. And we are unfortunately seeing it now. Poor Donario is an extremely talented and hard working young man but he has been plagued by serious knee injuries. And it happened again.

I am disappointed, but not surprised. Are any of you totally surprised this happened? It is why the Chargers did not commit to him long term and I am sure it has been in the back of Telesco and McCoy's minds continually. I feel very bad for the kid, and the Chargers would have been better with a healthy Alexander all season. But they will be ok without him. I firmly believe this. And I am sad to say this might be the end of his career because no team will take a chance on him. Too bad.
