Ya want a real story? TT drafts Queensbury. Fifth round. Expected to maybe be a backup. Starting center Pouncey goes to IR. Queensbury starts as center and does better than anyone expected for a 5th rounder. TT scored on that kinda serendipity. He can play guard too. He may end up being better than an up front OL draft pick like Lamp. Go figure. I've always been impressed with late rounder O-Linemen who wait their time and go on to greatness.
Heh, let's see more of TT's stable of O-linemen get their chance. Who knows?Last edited by Caslon; 12-11-2019, 12:50 AM.

Reminds me of when Kenny Williams of the White Sox won the W.S. then moved up from GM to VP and made Rick Hanh the new G.M.Last edited by ChargingBolts; 12-11-2019, 02:43 AM.

Chargers need a NT. Not a DT and damn 350+LB NT.
Any guys like that coming in 2020?
Also:
Where is the TT love for drafting Scott Q? Dude came in and played well after Pouncey injury, so well infact that position is not of need next draft. That whole situation could have been gravely worse.

Lamp, given a chance will earn his place as a 6th rounder chosen in the 2nd round who just needs some time. After all, he was injured, When he's let go, you all can fall back on that. A second round highly touted pick was kept out of the lineup due to bringing him along accordingly. He was healthy for a long spell and still got passed over by the coaches who stated he needed more time. Ya, a 5th or 6th rounder you do that with, not a second rounder touted as one of the best in his draft class.

Poor drafting aside, TT has bundled player negotiation with Weddle, Bosa, Gordon and has not made any great trades to help the team. Heck, Belichick is a HC and a better GM than TT. He has files on players he wants when their perceived value goes in the tank.
You have ave to take some risk to find players that can help get you through the hard times. I’m not saying pay big Lazy $$$ after 9 games, but TT does not know how to trade for value. He is an above average drafter with poor contract negotiations skills.

Weddle was an aging player on the decline and whined like a little bitch publicly about his contract (this after the Chargers previously had made him the highest paid safety in league history).
Gordon vastly overvalued his worth and trade appeal and screwed the team by holding out late. Nobody wanted him for what he was asking so I'm not sure how the Chargers are to blame for his unrealistic expectations and bad advice from his agents.
The Bosa contract holdout over the offset language was really stupid by both sides and should not have happened.
