Greg Roman Chargers Offensive Coordinator

[GoChargersGo!!]

Some people hate drafting a potential all pro and would rather have several journeyman at best type players.

Elite TEs don't just grow on trees ya know

[GoChargersGo!!]

It's Never just QB + TE.
It's QB+TE+OL+RB+WR+D+D Coach+O Coach + HC + other coaches + Owner = TEAM. Have the Chargers ever had a complete TEAM?

The Chefs have QB+TE.....but they also have the rest of the formula above. So do the SF Whiners. Let's analyze compreshensively please.

2006 wasn't one of the most complete teams ever? How many pro bowlers on offense and defense that year? I can count quite a few.

Seems Roman is a run-first kinda guy.

Seems Moore was a run-first kinda guy.

Seems Lombardi was a.. (see where I’m going?).

Hopefully, hopefully, scheme + coaching + key personnel changes is what makes a winning version. Third and long with any OC sucks.

Only Lombardi we speak about in my family is Vince

Fouts had Winslow. Rivers had Gates. None of them won Super Bowls.

Only Charger QB to even make a Super Bowl was Stan The Freaking Man Humphries

I just want wins and healthy QB and if coach Harbaugh thinks Roman can get us there great. We will run the ball and Harbaugh even said he wants to avoid Justin having to play hero ball all the time. When we establish a consistent run game I think Herbert is going to torch defenses.

Im willing to be patient while all this takes shape and it may get bumpy from time to time.

The final four teams that were left in the playoffs this year show the importance of having an elite TE.
Detroit-LaPorta
KC-Kelce
SF-Kittle
BAL-Andrews

I still like Monken more than Roman. But him and John both panicked too quickly and played like they were down by more than 10 points.

It was a baffling game. The Ravens just fell apart at every level.

And nobody had an offensive line. That changes now.

[Fouts2herbert]

This year off may have done him some good. Step away and gain perspective, grow, learn.

Plus we don't know how much of a role our new passing game coordinator will have on that side of things.

I just don't get the impression that Harbaugh is returning to the NFL to chase his ultimate goal and simply hired Roman out of familiarity. I bet he vetted him just like any other candidate and was frank with him in terms of what the expectations are.

And let's be honest with ourselves, we knew in hiring Harbaugh that we were never going to be a high flying, greatest show on turf type of offense.

Okay, I'll admit to thinking that, but they are not going to be a one dimensional run team either...Harbaugh wants balance...

Rivers had LT - a prime LT would improve Herbie's run game too.

I'm a full on Bowers Backer, he is one of several EXCELLENT ways the team can go. He would improve the offense and he'd fit a Roman offense superbly. I'd cheer his selection.

But he's not the only possible excellent way. some folks around here are locked in a one-and-only mindset to success - there's lots of ways we can get there.

One thing I will bet - Harbaugh and Hortiz will place much greater value on a premier RB than TT ever did. TT's endless string of JAGs is likely over imo.

Oh man, quoted for truth, that's fer sure. TT's RB draft history is a sad one:

2013 - None
2014 - Round 6 - Marion Grice - BUST
2015 - Round 1 - Gordon - Was mostly solid, but TT moved up only two spots for him, burning our 1st, a 4th and a 5th rounder...Moaning Mel's holdout was the final disappointing exclamation point to his career here...
2016 - Round 6 - Derek Watt, FB...IMHO, a wasted pick...we barely used him...JAG
2017 - None
2018 - Round 7 - Justin Jackson - Decent when healthy, but an INJURY BUST
2019 - None
2020 - Round 4 - Kelley - JAG
2021 - Round 6 - Rountree - JAG
2022 - Round 4 - Spiller, JAG / Round 7 - Horvath, another JAG and waste of roster spot--barely used
2023 - None

That's a whole lot of JAGS and BUSTS...and that doesn't even include the many JAG and BUST FA's TT signed...Donald Brown, Ballage, Michel...

[Fouts2herbert]

If they want to improve the run game, Bowers is a better pick than the WR’s.

Fouts had Winslow. Rivers had Gates. Herbert needs Bowers.

if they draft bowers I'll be requesting a name change from Fouts2herbert to Fouts2herbert2bowers sounds good

It was a baffling game. The Ravens just fell apart at every level.

Their defense did not fall apart though 0 points given up in the 2nd half. You definitely cannot blame the defense for the loss. You give up 17 points to a Mahomes led offense you expect to win that game.
