Joshua Palmer.... was he a hedge against potentially not resigning MW ?? is he expected to be the eventual replacement for KA ?? as of right now, he looks like neither was too good of an inkling.
we don't seem too concerned 'bout ever getting an RB1.... yes, Ekeler is amazing, and he is not someone who is meant to carry the load, 'specially between the tackles.
we decided to roll the dice on Parham's health and McKitty's development.... how is that working to date ??
we were adamant that the either of Storm or Pips would be our starting tackle, and we didn't give two shekels as to the possibility that Salyer might well be better than the both/either of 'em.
we have been dodging the Linsley injury bullet prior to this season, and now 'tis looking more and more like we will be paying the piper, and sooner than later.
and worst of all, and speaking of dodging scud missiles, we left Herbert in the game when he was obviously in severe pain and highly susceptible to a more serious injury.
when does your luck run out, and why in the world would anyone want to hang their hat on a dink and dunk offense when you've got a talent like Herbert @the helm ??
and yes, our offense is good when he's healthy, but the stats/analytics clearly show that as he goes, we go, and....
per usual and speaking for myself, the clear Chargers high point over the last coupla years was when Steichen & Co. brought up a virtually untested, if not unknown player from the ps, who promptly caught a rocket man longball for a touchdown against Detroit. not only was it exciting, but it frickin' worked.... that is Charger football.
if you want to play dink 'n dunk, it's nothing that Chase Daniel can't do, and we should certainly be resting Herbert and getting him healthy, instead of wasting away his talent (and good health) in blow out games.
