2023 Official Roster Build Thread - The Initial 53 / Practice Squad

[cmplxgal]

5 recently. 3 QBs, 5 RB/ FB leaves some room for juggling.

Good point. If the Chargers just keep two QBs on the 53-man roster, that opens up an additional spot. Then they could keep all six WRs.

I'd rather cut Palmer than Guyton. But if Guyton gets hurt again I'll change my mind.

Whaaatt....they aren't cutting Palmer. Dude had 72 catches last season and had some big games.

I think we will keep 6. Horvath likely odd man out.

I think they keep 6 as well, but also think they keep Horvath. He was tremendously underutilized last year. He can be that 4th RB if ever need be. The power back as well with a Dlinemen or Olinemen as the lead blocker.

Because they're Charger fans?? Despite their opinions - which don't align with yours??

I've also wondered why some of these guys say they're Charger fans when all they have to say about the team is negative. Just seems weird to me. I could have posted a list of about 8 guys that would post negative things during the draft but I think that would be rude, but they did show up and sure were anti-the-team. I'm missing something because I can't see a reason in the world to make me want to post if I thought the team was always wrong.

Thx cmplxgal.

is Mark Webb still on the roster?

I'll qualify it this way...If Justin stays healthy I like Guyton over Palmer. If not, then the possession guy Palmer makes more sense to me.

I would prefer we only go with 2 qb so we can carry 6 wr. As most, I can’t wait until this season starts. See who improves and earns spots to play. Let’s Go!!!

Clapp, Jaimes and Sarell are the weak links now...we'll see how much Sarell improved after Duke's Fun Camp...but the other two need to pick it up or maybe get beat out...we need QUALITY depth on our O line...

Yep...loser between Stick and Duggan goes to the PS...

Yep...either go with 2 QB's or cut Horvath...or both...I'd like to carry an extra DL to rotate them and keep em fresh...
