2021 Official Chargers Season Discusssion

agree, after 9 years, he has proven to not have great instincts for selecting players other then the no brainers, like Bosa, Herbert, Slater, James (all were clear BPA's where they were drafted).... his picks after the first for the most part are head scratchers....

he also has chosen some really bad HC's..... hoping in Staley he struck gold, but time will tell, but he seems to have potential..... Next year will be huge because he should be able to add or keep the players that fit his schemes... and get rid of this who dont.....

Harris was a pure slot CB..... Hayward was an outside CB..... 2 different positions.... both are past their time

Add in the players he has traded up for. I get Lynn really liked Murray but he has traded up 4 times and the results are not good. So his instincts there are wrong

His 3rd and 4th round selections, when he makes them and doesn't trade them, are not good either.

Keeping Telesco, which they are going to do - is the definition of insanity or whatever that saying is - expecting different results but there is nothing to really show he will be any better.

I will be creating a brand new 2022 season thread shortly. RIP to this monster thread.

Just to highlight the hit and miss nature of all of this draft business, I saw an article on 5th year option players due, yes or no. Out of 32, 2 were not even with their drafting team anymore (6.3%) then there were 14 "No's" and 16 "Yes's" per the article. Adding the releases into the No's puts it at an even 50%. That is exactly half of the first round of 2019 that they say does not deserve a 5th year option offer.

But yeah, being a GM in the NFL is a piece of cake.......

Actually, being an armchair GM with 20/20 hindsight is easy.

I give TT some credit for trying. But we can’t have that many fuck ups over the years in terms of talent evaluation.

Totally agree. Hopefully the new coaches help with their input, last year’s draft/FA haul was mostly sound.

Staley seems to want to,

“Bolstering”? Hahaha. Like they “Bolstered” the OL last offseason.

It worked for the most part didn’t it?

Half of it worked.

[Xenos]

Half of it worked.

The other half was injured unfortunately.

How about TOTALLY OVERHAULING the defense...bolster, schmolster...

[Topcat]

The other half was injured unfortunately.

...or whiffed on tackles...or didn't stay in their lane...or took bad angles...

I think that was more coach speak than anything else; the question kind of forced him towards that kind of answer.

Upgrade, sure.....

Staley seems to want to,

If Staley was captain of the Titanic, after hitting the iceberg, he would probably say something like, "I say, old boy, we should be able to bolster up that minor hole and be on our way presently...now, where's my spot of tea?"
