    Bottom line, at this point TT and McCoy deserve the benefit of the doubt, even if our opinion differs. That should be obvious even to all the negative know-it-alls on internet forums.

      I have the 'wait and see' attitude with this team, but some guys here seem to have the "I can do better, I play Fantasy Football" attitude. I know I can't possibly do better, because there just isn't enough information that us fans are privy to. We can see how certain players look in some games, but most decisions are made based on the day-to-day work of the NFL. I'm looking forward to seeing how this 'chemistry' experiment will go, because there is a lot that has changed, and I hope for the better than the AJ-Norv era. I am giving the new guys a benefit of the doubt, and hope that it doesn't get ugly early.

        I don't play Madden or Fantasy football. I have about 50 years watching this team so do I get to comment on what they are doing or do we all need to be the club's version of The Stepford Wives?

            If I thought Dunlap was one of the worst tackles in the NFL before the Chargers signed him does that immediately change because he is now a Charger?

              No. Because Starks won that battle.

                Funny. I also didn't get why people thought Starks would be the starter.

                To not even beat out Harris?

                  If you thought Dunlap was "one of the worst tackles" in the NFL and Harris was the worst tackle in the NFL, then why would it be a weird thought to think Starks could beat them out and become the starter? It obviously didn't happen that way but to think it was an irrational thought......well is pretty irrational on your part.

                    Because as bad a Dunlap was Starks was even worse.

                    And how is it irrational on my part? The day Starks was signed I said I didn't think he'd make the team. What was irrational about that?

                      Every time we would drop back to pass while Starks was in I had to fight the urge to yell Ole'.

                        You missed my point. What I said was there is nothing irrational about thinking Starks could beat out Harris and Dunlap.

                          Your neighbors must have thought you were a matador last season.
