2021 Official Chargers Season Discusssion

[wu-dai clan]

Moore > Hill. If it was UDFA Hill instead of 20/7 Hill, I don't think he'd be on the likely safe list.
If you want a WR6 who can do KR or PR duties, I think Bandy or Proehl could do as good a job if not better.

Bradwell > Kelley. I don't really care if Kelley has good hands, first and foremost a running back should be able to run.
No RB4 > Kelley RB4 also.

Is McKitty a better blocker than Sokol or Kampmoyer? Is he a better pass catcher than Sokol or Kampmoyer? Is he a better special teamer than Sokol or Kampmoyer? I think the answer to all three is no. One catch so far and one special teams snap in preseason, where the other two have 25 combined. He must have a high ceiling or something.




Should've already jumped Kelley though.



No it shouldn't. The OC and QBC shouldn't need help doing their jobs from a QB3. Cut him, hire him as a QBC assistant if you want, but don't waste the roster spot.



On track to being a lock? Bit of a bold claim there. On track to push for a spot more like.

The only one I am not in lockstep with you over is McKitty.

LAC has assigned this rookie a limited role initially, due in part to the presence of other, compelling TE weaponry.

McKitty did show some production and athleticism prior to his final college year.

Upside, baby.

The team didn't draft McKitty for this year. They drafted him for the next 3 to 4 years after this. Jared Cook is the bridge TE. Teams do draft players for the future to prepare for potential free agency. So if McKitty is inactive all year - so be it.

We need him to help @T_pippy22 block at least one defender.

IDK B4K, do you have a prediction for how Nabors--McKitty--SAnderson will shake out, in a few short days ?

I see two rosters spots there.

Kelly really is only going to keep his roster spot because of reputation. He’s a struggling backup RB that does not even play STs.

Almost all backup RBs are involved in STs.

McKitty is still enigma to me, but I’m willing to be patient and see exactly what Staley plans for him. Who know’s could be starting early as end of this season?

Hopefully in three years he’s not known as McPipkins. Yes, the similarity is there.

I’m glad he’s on our team. Sounds like a real dog out there.

Well, you cannot draft somebody in the 4th round with the experience McKitty had at Georgia and expect him to be a contributor. So I think he was probably always scheduled to make the roster but be one of the inactives.

I think only one of Anderson or Nabors makes the roster at this point.

If McKitty is exposed to the PS - he probably gets picked up.

I can see McKitty being active on game day just because of his blocking abilities. We will probably keep at least three TE on the roster. Cook, Parham, and McKitty are locks IMO.

Not impressed by Kelley but I’m pretty sure Staley was touting his ST acumen in a press conference just last week. JJ definitely doesn’t contribute on ST and can’t stay healthy, being a good runner for the 2 weeks a year he’s active doesn’t deserve a roster spot IMO.

I'd send McKitty to the PS.
I doubt he's shown enough to be poached.
I like Anderson - blocks, and catches.
Norton's lead blocks are good for the run game and he can catch too.
