    For a single 3 and out series. What can they possibly get out of that?

      At least a 50 percent increase in their chances of winning their season opener.

        Could you elaborate on this calculation?

          As we’ve all learned recently, If you don’t have facts, you can make your own up.

            That reminds me of a book, "How to Lie with Statistics."

              Do you always just make things up to support your argument? Cam Newton was 4/7 - that does not sound like a 3 and out.

              BS like that makes people wonder how much of what you say can be believed. Please quit doing that.

                In other news, Tebow released by Jags.

                I, for one, will need a moment to process the devastating news. I assume I am not alone, if folks want to start a support group - count me in.

                  LOL. He was miscast. They should have moved him to safety.

                    You said Arians. Which would be the Buccaneers. Which would mean NOT the team Cam Newton plays for. Brady was 1/2 in his preseason action, and will not be playing in the next game. Obviously those 2 throws are the real advantage he has over Herbert and the number of other starting QBs that aren’t playing in preseason come the regular season.

                    I still believe what equivocation says since he actually responded to what you said, no BS detected.

                      I stand corrected - I did say Ariens and "Parcells" - I meant Belicheat and so it's all a misunderstanding caused by my faulty memory dredging up the wrong name.

                        TG
                        I don’t think anybody here was advocating for Staley to play the starters in every preseason game. The usual tradition is for the starters to play in the first qtr or half of the first game and then play maybe just a few plays in the 2nd one and then not at all in the 3rd and 4th games. But since there is no 4th game, they would only play in the first one.

                        Brady and the Bucs are also not incorporating a completely brand new offense into the team.

                        Regardless, I’m with you. After the Slater injury in practice, I don’t understand why Staley has the starters practicing during the practices. Even last few years, many of our injuries happened during practice. Obviously the right way to go about this is to never have the starters practice and rather give them a VR screen in which they can emulate a real practice.
                        Tom Telesco’s Results in 9 years as Chargers GM:

                        - 69-74 record
                        - 0 division titles in 9 yrs as GM
                        - Worst record among all active GMs with same tenure
                        - 6th worst winning percentage among all active GMs overall
                        - 2 playoff wins despite elite QB all 9 yrs
                        - Team still has the same weaknesses (Oline and run defense) that it had when hired as GM in 2013
                        - Consistently puts together horrible depth, expects starters to never miss games

                          Since that's who you're talking about, Newton and Jones are in competition for the QB1 spot. They need to determine who wins and each one is injury insurance for the other.
