2024 Chargers Roster Build Discussion - Transactions | News

[beachcomber]

If Stick were to start every game this season with our O mostly intact, I think he's good enough to win us maybe 8-9 games...with Herbie starting, we're good for about 11-14 games...that's the difference...

'Cat.... you do recall that his win percentage last go 'round was a resounding .000

and how you get him over .500 is a mathematical houdini, far as I can tell....

him @only a coupla few games behind Herbo, is just not happenin'

might want to rethink your drink on that one.... ??

Lets break it down like this then.

Wentz winning percentage 86.9% Stick 94.2%. So Stick was better.
Sick was an upgrade then, over Daniels.
From what we know GR has worked well with QB's that can run and are average passers, this is what I am basing it on, past performance. I think Stick would play decently if needed to for a game or 3.

I am not arguing that Stick is better than Herbert, nobody is, but I definitely think he can do alight, for the price. I do not think we are in a position to spend a lot on a backup QB with the holes we still have in the roster.

lets break down your breakdown

• Stick had a higher win percentage, that doesn't prove "Stick was better". Nobody could watch the two play and say he is better imo, thats just me.
• I do not see Stick upgraded the position vs Daniel (still no S in his last name if you want to serve as our expert - just an FYI). He was cheaper. He is still cheaper.
• GR has designed a running-QB offense in the past, true. But no thinking person seriously believes that LAC plan to install a running-based offense for Herbie. The team cannot practice two different offenses every week as a contingency for QB injury - one for Herbie and one for a backup QB who can't execute Herbie's offense.

It would be better to have a backup that can run Herbie's offense without major change. I don't think Stick is the guy for that, but I think you're right we may, um, er, (topcat alert) stick with him

Stick is Ryan Fitzpatrick without the beard or the magic.

Also, he is good at clipboarding.

But wait, there is more...

Easton provides a second opinion for Justin in his processing (great value !)

Just play .500 (without the voodoo math) under GRo.

Stick is a decent running QB. G-Ro can use him.

I can picture Stick being adequate with the likes of Ladd as a security blankie.

The Chargers are #2 on this list. Though the people who make this list have a poor track record of getting their predictions right, which they admit.

These predictions are almost pointless...what they should be saying is..."Do you have a QB?" If you do then you have a chance. We have a QB, Probably a better oline, and for sure a better coach. Some where this has to add up to something positive. LOL!

[Lefty2SLO]

I think Stick gets 6-7 wins, close to Ghost than you, too. Call it 8, so what - thats not good enough.

The last time I recall Stick playing decently was in one of his early (2nd?) preseasons 4 or so years ago. He played poorly last preaseason. Poor last reg season. Poor the preseason before. ... its a trend.

He's not up to NFL caliber of QB consistency - like 99+% of athletes in the world. NFL QB is that hard. he makes too many bad reads and bad throws, and his arm is sub-par anyway. The investment in Stick is misplaced imo

I'm even less bullish on Stick - 6 wins MAX, if everything goes perfectly . . . . . . . . . . . most likely less. We haven't had what I'd consider a quality backup QB in years . . . . . . . . . . It was one of my (many) sore spots in regards to TT.

I hope that we can upgrade sometime in the next couple of years . . . . . . . .

That was more Stick talk that I thought I’d see here. Who gives a shit about the back up who won’t see time. Clipboard Jesus is all that’s needed. My main thing I want from Stick is to help Herbert as much as he can in the qb room. Those two seem to have a good working relationship.

[Formula 21]

Man, Minter hitting the ground running....installing... communicating ! Him and Jimbo like Tuli.

Jesse Minter is making Brandon Staley look like a sophomore. The players feel the genuine, certified football.

We gonna be solid, like Australian Buloke.

No music, all speed, keep your head in the game. Great stuff.

Tackling drills in the background, I like it. Practice the basics.

[CanadianBoltFan]

Adrian Amos is a guy I've always liked. Should be a good, cheaper, add for a team.

Marcus Maye a FS is out there. Think he played for 7 million last year. Maybe we could get him for 4 this year

[CanadianBoltFan]

I never understood the Bolts keeping either Stick nor Daniel as backup QB...they both played mostly poorly...I think the best backup QB we had besides PR backing up Brees was Billy Volek...

Volek was the best. Other than that the Chargers have a tradition of clipboard carriers who are great in the QB room but cant play when they get on the field....Easton Stick, Chase Daniel, Charlie Whitehurst
