2021 Official Chargers Season Discusssion

[pigskin]

Beach Mack is too old find a different center

[Bolt4Knob]

just for the record, am on the Jonnu and JJ bandwagon....

QB Matt Schaub
WR JuJu Smith Schuster
TE Jonnu Smith, Jared Cook, David Njoku (trade)
OG John Miller
OC Alex Mack
SCB Brian Poole
CB Troy Hill
SS John Johnson

Schaub retired
I don't see JuJu
Mack is too old - he will be 35. Maybe as a fall back if the market gets crazy at Center for Linsley, Ritter, Karras
Miller is interesting but I think they have better options like Feiler, Feliciano, Warford, Easton,

Troy Hill - I can see him

JJ3-- I think he will be a Chargers player actually

I think it’s Easton Stick’s job to lose as QB2. I don’t know if we need a veteran QB at this point. That’s what the QB coach’s job is.

Agree about the coach part, we shouldn’t use roster spots and dollars on mini-coaches. if he needs a vet QB, hire a vet that just retired as an additional coach and put him in that room. But i don’t know Easton is a backup caliber QB. I haven’t seen him take any significant snaps since his rookie camp, and he was definitively not an NFL backup Qb at that time. Cardale outplayed him that PS. 2 full seasons later running scout teams etc, maybe we will see him in PS games this year (are there any)?

I don't think Stick will be QB2 come the season. They need a better option. I never understood the pick a few years ago - maybe he envisioned Taysom Hill or something. I really don't know

I think Alex Smith will be too expensive. Maybe its Mullens or Beathard from the NIners. I have seen Brissett mentioned - he might be worth it depending on cost.

Drew Brees and Rivers haven't officially retired yet? kidding

I think he benefitted from Wentz coming out of the same school.. He took over when Wentz was drafted and went something like 49-3, so I think they saw more than was there.

I thought Phil did lol. we haven’t seen Easton in a couple years, really - but I wasn’t impressed with his arm last time I saw it. Thats a key attribute I look for in my QBs

It’s nice that Cardale Jones finally outplayed a rookie. And yeah, I agree that Stick wasn’t an NFL caliber backup at that time. But he showed promise and most importantly he was a rookie still learning the ropes unlike Jones.

I meant filing paperwork with the NFL. I have read that Rivers hasn't filed. Brees - it doesn't matter - the Saints can release him - he doesn't need to retire. Cap hit doesn't change. Unless he decides he doesn't want to retire.

As for Stick - as posted above - maybe it was the Wentz connection but right, not impressed with his arm.

[La Costa Boy]

I don't need a back-up pulling in something close to 5 mil, which Smith would surely command. Maybe more from one of these cash drunk franchises.

[Boltjolt]

Not that it means anything but PFF has us signing JJIII for 4/55 and Linsley for 3/33 and resigning HH but didn't give a number.
Tyrod the Eagles 2/10, Ingram to Ravens 2/20

Paying JJIII almost $14 APY is crazy unless we don’t intend on keeping Derwin.

I heard that he wants to retire a Charger. They can bring him back on Phillip Rivers' day and have the home stadium crowd boo him.
Probably should have Phillip Rivers' day on the road...... Indy?
