Chargers at Texans Pre-Game Discussion (Wild Card Round)

[Bolts&noles]

My take is that there is no way KA or MW comes back to the Bolts. The team has turned a corner, moved on. I don't think Hortiz or Harbaugh wants either back. I could be wrong, I frequently misread what the powers that be are thinking, but the team has gotten much younger and better at WR with players who have a higher ceiling.

I think Allen would be a option if he understands he will have a completely different role .
Like a 4th option maybe that gets paid like a fourth option but add depth if they need it.
Who knows though.

Come on. We ALL know his ego couldn't handle that. The juice is not worth the squeeze with Meenan at this point.

I think the ship as sail in regard to KA/MW. They are going to want to get younger. The Chargers are going to have better options available in FAncy and the draft. There will likely be trade options available also. KA had his chance last year and chose the money. IMHO, it's time to move on.

I would agree. If Allen is unsigned in July and he is willing to be WR4 - that might be the only scenario that I can see Allen making sense
Same with MW
But those would be small money deals. Like what Chark signed

And thats probably not happening. I just don't see Hortiz giving Allen $10m moving forward.

Strongly agree

[Whydachargers?]

Why stop there?

Many claim they remember past lives.

Exactly. I like watching TV shows about people who claim past lives. I recall one case where a young kid said he died in WWII when his plane got hit. He was having repeated nightmares about the incident as a five-year old. Pretty interesting.

Chargers have been here before and nothing in the NFL is a gimmie. Rest assured the Texans will be ready to play and they are on their home turf. This is where guys like Harbaugh earn their money.

Keenan Allen is frustrated, IMO, at how the previous year has played out. He made the decision not to take a pay cut, like Bosa and Mack both did, in order to stay with the team that drafted him, with the young QB that he's had much success with. He knew that would lead to a trade. He was traded to the team that had the rights to Caleb Williams, who was hyped as the 2nd coming of Mahomes. His new team was a flaming disaster, his new QB a borderline bust. Meanwhile the rookie WR his old team drafted to replace him has broken his rookie records and is heading into the playoffs on the momentum of a 3 game win streak with an offense that is on fire.

Are you intimating that KA's decision to leave MAY not have been a good one . . . . . . . . . ?

His 2024 season has essentially played out as I thought it would the day he left. Good riddance - he made it personal, made a poor decision and he's paid for it. He can spend the offseason counting his money . . . . . . . .

He would never admit it of course. But if you put yourself in his place, he's already made more money than he will ever need in his lifetime for himself and his family, what he doesn't have is a SB ring, he's only got a few years left, at best, and he chose to walk away from Jim Harbaugh and Justin Herbert. He may never admit it even to himself. But if I put myself in his place, I would want a do over.

I'm sure at this point he would want a 'do-over' as well. Moral to this story; don't make business decisions based on emotion . . . . . . . . . .
