Next year they will need to find a new Ekeler, Spiller needs to step up as an every down back. I’m 50/50 he surprises us with superior play, I am expecting he is a decent JAG++ in 2023 and it depends on the OL to give him gaps really run wild.“Less is more? NO NO NO - MORE is MORE!”

Good take. Spiller if motivated has it all there waiting for him to step in and be a star. I just hope he can come through for us. If not I think we'll see a 1st round pick on a RB next year.“Less is more? NO NO NO - MORE is MORE!”

Then, I guess it’s up to Ek. I’ll tell you what tho, the Chargers finished near the bottom in running with him. Now, imagine where they’ll finish without him.
He's under contract to the Chargers. All he'll get is a year older and actually lose money by setting out.
Last year had a different OC and LT- LG-RG. It'll be better with or without Ek. Better yet with.
But you're right, irt's entirely up to Ekeler.

I don't think he's that dynamic to this offense. This offense runs through Herbert. I am not afraid to utilize Kelly and Spiller. I don't think there is that much of a drop off. Ek is 28 and some wear and tear has been starting to show.
Disagree on 2d - I did not see a single smidge of drop off due to W&T show last year, no idea what you saw. He’s their best playmaker in space for RB passes, that does not show up as much and is not as critical on rush plays though. We shouldn’t be throwing him 100 passes anyway, if we are then we still have a defect in our design.
Moore does not allow defects in design. We’re ok
and Ekeler is going to play for the Chargers - this discussion is all besides the point completely.“Less is more? NO NO NO - MORE is MORE!”

If Ekeler gone, Moore or not, a duel threat Spiller and Kelly are not. Never have been, never will be. Which means all faith will be put on Moore to account and adjust for that. We shall see. A dynamic Herbert passing threat won’t open up the running game at times when the next play is an obvious needed run that everyone in the stadium knows is coming. We’ll see if Moore, the O-line and those running backs improve over last years dismal performance. That is…if the year end running stats move up from 30th to at least 25th.
