    We don't know that yet, as neither player has taken a snap in the NFL.

He was one of my top favorites in the class before the draft, he had seriously crisp route running skills, snapping DB ankles and leaving them spinning. I havent seen any of the PS games, cuz IDGAF. Not surprised. I’m good with QJ as he’s more physical as an heir to one of our top 2 next year. Zay seems a bit light for that role.


      A small WR like that can be quick-jammed off the line by a good NFL CB. I would assign ASJ to cover him, he has the skills and quickness. A properly executed quick jam can disrupt the timing of a route and throw off the entire play.

        Florio and Simms discuss how it wouldn't make any sense for a team to trade for Jonathan Taylor now. Then Simms says there's only one team it would make sense for - the Chargers. Florio doesn't agree, but Simms posits a trade, Taylor for Ekeler straight up.

          Ha! That was my original proposition!
          this GM gig ain't hard....

          seriously though, the timing wouldn't be right, we just made things right by Ekeler and he's motivated and poised for a BIG year.
          outside of Moore banging the table, I don't consider it.

            Chargers would probably need to add a draft pick and maybe pay part of Ekeler's salary since Ek is 6.25 + 1.75 in incentives

              TB Bucs have selected their starting QB.

              Nice headline SMH.

                Nope straight up trade I say...We get JT and they Get EK plus a third rounder...we would have to pay JT with a new contract before the trade is final though. So what, $8-10 mil per year for 3 years with two year guarantee. Taylor will be wasted over the next two seasons on the colts. No?

                  The Chargers aren't trading one RB grumbling about his salary for another even unhappier RB grumbling about his salary that would cost draft capital. Enjoy Ek's last season here and move on.

                    I've liked everything I've seen from DD, except for the problem he had with the one punt. But, when I think about him getting much playing time, I think would they sit down KA, MW, JP, or QJ to get him in? It's a crowded WR room. I think he'll have a few plays designed to utilize his speed but he'll mostly be return man.

                      Odds are we don't have all 4 of those guys healthy for a full season
