Chargers need more from big investments

[Stinky Wizzleteats+]

Sounds like a good reason to shut him down now...

5 months minimum is the claim

Once again risking Verrett being able to take part in any part of offseason

So the offseason is more important than the real season? I haven't given up on the current year.

@hacksaw1090: Jason Verrett...3-tears in labrum-should have surgery now..takes 5-months minimum to recover...

Dude is so negative. Take his tweets w/a grain of salt. He is ALWAYS looking for the dramitic/negative spin on EVERYTHING. He has been this way going back 20+ years

Smacksaw was positive regarding Dan Henning.

Yeah, I remember that. Drove me crazy. And he loved Ortmanure.

The dark ages of Charger's football.

So Verrett should play out this season?

He tweeted that after reports said it was a 5month+ recovery. I don't see the negativity in that tweet

But, on pass plays the guards and center are losing worse, limiting Rivers ability to rely on the certainty of a pocket. An offensive tackle will never be as fleet-footed as a pass rusher - they rely on guiding the pass rusher past the passer

Guards and the center aren't looking worse right now. They are all looking bad. In fact the RG position is the 2nd best on the OL right now

If he's healthy enough to play, yea.

He needs surgery. And recovery time.

Putting him out there for the rest of this season impacts next season

I think it's hard to under-estimate the impact Hardwick had on the cohesiveness of the o-line. And there is probably no single unit on a football team where cohesiveness is more important than on the o-line. I'm sure not having Clary next to him is hurting Fluker too.

We tried to milk another season out of him and didn't have a viable backup for him. Now Rivers is having to make the line calls his center used to make.

[Den60]

Then why not wait 'til the end of the year? Five months after January would be June. It's not like we're going to need him in May.

I dunno, maybe he will continue to damage his shoulder more and his recovery time will increase? I say pump him up full of pain killers and let him shred what is left of his shoulder to get us to the playoffs. He can always fall back on his degree if things don't work out for him.
