Keenan Allen, Goodbye or Hello Again?

[AK47]

Here you go:

Week 8:
KA: 2/35 0 TDs
LM: 6/111 2 TDs

Year:
KA: 17/157 2 TDs 2 games missed
LM: 30 376 4 TDs 0 games missed

Not to mention LM having to fill in as Returner adding to his value as a rookie on a rookie contract.

Don't agree. At this stage, no. I hope he can be as good as Keenan with his added speed. A faster version would be awesome.
I like how he is playing but Keenan rookie year was pretty good.
71 for 1046, 8 TDs in 15 games, 14 of them starts.

4 TD's and 376 yards(without punt returns added)at 7 games so far, we shall see.

McConkey is on pace for 73 catches for 913 yards and 10 TDs.

Keenan Allen's longest play of his career was 54 yards and his longest TD of his career was 43 yards. Ladd gave us a 60-yard catch and run yesterday in his first season. Keenan was always a tight end in a WR body. I have been complaining about a lack of explosive plays for years. People have no idea how much it opens up your offense. Look at what Hill for the Dolphins and Chase for the Bengals do for the offense. The plodding down-the-field offense that Hebert has been relegated to since we drafted him(mainly his 2nd year and beyond) has driven me crazy.

I love me some KA but we all know he would of not scored a TD on that catch Ladd had yesterday. No WR on the Chargers roster last year would of scored a TD off catch yesteray.

And thats great, but he isnt at Keenan level yet. They are similar but McConkey is much faster though much smaller. Kenan would likely not scored on that catch and run so Ladd brings another element.

I hope he can add a little bulk because he looks like a little guy out there lol. Doubt he can survive a 90-100 catch season without injury.

Anyways, im not being negative, he is a rookie. Keenan had a good rookie year too but he got better as the seasons went on is what im saying. La DD can get there as well. Keenan was arguably the best route runner in the league and he had the most targets yesterday on he Bears team but Caleb wasnt very good.

LuhDeeDee with double TDs on duhDay! I can feel more and more chemistry between him and Justin. Now if others can start participating and catching balls...

[Maniaque 6]

On that long TD, M. Williams would be down at the 35 !

Ladede had an awesome day.

he should just get out of bounds or slide down more - he always fights for 2 extra yards and gets gang tackled in the process. unless those 2 yards are for a first down, he should get down and save himself for the next play.

One of the announcers who played DB and called the Bronco game had a terrific insight about McConkey and how he exposes himself when he goes down. The guy said he is going to end up with a lot of olbique inujuries because DBs will punish him and go for that exposed area. Sure enough, a couple plays later that very thing happened. Sanjay needs to help him. We need McConkey and he is too tough for his own good and needs to protect himself. I did see him do that against the Saints very near the goal line, so he is learning.

Speaking of WRs, where did Renfro and Michael Thomas end up? Are they both still on the street?
