    Good insight here. Our WR group is slowly building up respect around the NFL. The QJ/Ladd combo is on track for a 18-19 TD's.

    Did some checking on Reagor. Woah?!?! TCU huh? 4.47 40 time with 1.52 10 yard split. 42 vert 11' 6" Board Jump.
    And ten cent ball security.
    Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
    Let’s win one for Mack.

      Maybe someone can send them some GoogleMaps directions to some bars in West Hollywood. Bueller? Anyone?

        J. Chase 10 yard split: 1.59
        Q Johnston 10 yard split: 1.56
        J Palmer: 1.59
        Ladd the Conk: 1.52

        Thats what I see glimmers of from this rough lil diamond of ours - short area burst to separate a bit like Conk. A shade larger but close to same size. I suspect he may keep improving and folding into the group. With Chark coming back, we have a better cushion of one of them gets hurt.

          Yeah, IMO it's not unreasonable to think that Reagor has a legit chance to convert his opportunity with the Chargers into results that = 'solid contribution'.

          That's what GMs like Joe Hortiz do, find underperformers who have the skill set to succeed in the NFL, *if* they can be helped to make better use their tools via coaching and being in the right team culture.

          In his first season with the Bolts, The Chef has thrown a lot of pasta against the wall. Not all of it has stuck (Hurst), but it's provided the roster with the likes of Poona Ford and Elijah Molden, who are making important contributions on the regular. Troy Dye and Hassan Haskins have proven worthy of their signings, as well. So I won't be surprised at ALL if Jalen Reagor's name gets added to the list.

          I didn't mention Dobbins or Fulton here, because in their cases it was injury history that made them available to be signed, not failure to develop their skills.

QJ and Reagor were both drafted #21. Reagor has the physical talent, no question. His problems have been in his head. He was a 21-year-old rookie. He's 25 now. Maybe maturity and good coaching will help him play up to his physical abilities.

            Also: Half of the Chargers' WRs are former TCU standouts.

            Also: In the past two drafts, the Chargers have drafted three WRs who played in the 2022-23 college national championship game. (Which was played at SoFi.)
            When the reporters left Reagor at his locker, I heard him mumble, “every mtherfker that said QJ’s hands could be rehabilitated should get off my back and cut me the same slack!”

              I never bought when some here said Staley didnt care about LBs. I always said he should and mocked us LBs every year he was here. Murray was a dumpster fire. LBs are crucial to a defense.

                Are they going on a field trip to Disneyland?

                  Hear here. Add Bud Dupree and Teair Tart to Hortiz's win column.

                    Colin Cowherd, Pat McAfee and the rest of the media are jumping on the Harbaugh/Chargers bandwagon

                        I'd like to know as well.
                        either way, it worked.

                          I posted vid highlights of his TCU days and in it he does switch the ball away from pursuers, so it’s not like the concept is new to him.
