Oline is a smart, PON pick...but you aren't listening. 'tis eye that is not listening ?? you prefer to bust @6 overall ??
We don't have a fan base. I think it's down to just us on the Powder Blues...LOL. aahhh Lone B.... eye hear you, and.... what's done is done.... would be so nice to move back to Diego.
I'm saying it makes sense to be brave, and make the selection, to take a swing at landing the next great, famous, and popular signal caller in this league. It is about winning, but it is also a lot about reinventing the identity of this team. People aren't going to come see Wirfs, or buy a Thomas jersey. We are talking reality here. reality for me is having a stout Oline, rather than another China Doll first round pick that is likely to call it a career (much) earlier than later
Hell, Wirfs may not even start this year, on this line. (Forget your fantasy about moving him inside for awhile) So you are gonna spend a 6 on a boring player, who may not even play this year, all while you are moving into your new stadium? again think you're twisting my words.... you see it as a fantasy, eye have called him a RT and even shared how some have him penciled in @LT, and yeah if he can play guard, all the better if and when need be
Maybe...just maybe, if Lynn has got TT talked into Jalen Hurts, I could see the move. Hurts has a good following, might be very successful in a system designed around his strengths early in his career...he is gonna sell some jerseys, attract some fans... and again the odds are against him, and would rather spend the draft capital on a Cesar Ruiz and/or Prince Tega Wanogho…. build the lines, 'specially given that the better/safer talent is sitting there.
But still...you are missing the point. Tua is as big a figure in football as there is right now...even bigger than Burrow... (everyone knows where Joe is going). What reason do you think the Chargers had for going after Brady? Winning a SB? TT and coach saw the same thing we did...Brady is way past his prime, and is no longer a top 5 QB...maybe not even top 10. Brady was about filling stands, selling jerseys, and building the fan base going into the new stadium....he might have got us some wins, a playoff appearance...but it was all about going into that new stadium with a bang...the nation's eyes on the Chargers and their new digs and new rags... agreed, and.... TB12 is not an injury risk per se, or @least anything like Tua who is Verrett x10 the injury risk.
Wirfs is my favorite olineman...love Simmons...and am an underdog fan of Justing Herbert...and I too am a little scared of Tua's health issues (but only a little, I think the hip was a freak accident)...but when trying to accurately predict what the Chargers should and will do, it's obvious. Tua...and probably by trading up. Best steel yourselves for it...
ps. there is one other little caveat that wasn't mentioned, i.e. Mr. Telesco would prolly like to keep his job.... how are his job prospects if Tua does what a lot of us suspect.... gets hurt, and w/the quickness ?? and ditto for Wills.... what if he isn't all that (wonder how some of the other prospects would be w/inside counters if they had #65 playin' OG next to 'em ?) and he's not much if any better than ol' Fluker ?? or if Becton allows more pressures/sacks than most anyone here is proffering, or gets a bit lazy w/his weight management, or.... what if he hedged his bets and took Wirfs or AT, two guys that have shown little to no reason that they're gonna bust.... better safe than sorry, no ??

Before I play matchmaker, though, I want to address one team that you won't find attached to a QB below: the New England Patriots. Obviously, everyone's wondering how New England will replace Brady. But personally, I don't see Bill Belichick and Co. drafting a QB early. I've been told the Pats are very high on Jarrett Stidham, expecting the 2019 fourth-rounder to be their guy next season and into the foreseeable future.
ps. and also woulda, coulda, shoulda taken Marcus rather than Justin....

They say the Pats are high on him but you just watch them draft another QB. Fromm, Love, Eason or even Hurts. Stidham isnt going to be handed that job. And they already signed Hoyer again lol.Last edited by Boltjolt; 03-24-2020, 05:02 PM.11 Brock Bowers TE - Georgia

the question is: where did his value lie ?? was he a first round talent or a day three wanna be ?? you obviously pegged him for the latter, and....
all he did was kill it in his bowl game, pretty much aced the SB, and then he beats out the incumbent backup vet QB to Brady, and now ol' Bill is comfortable w/him as his starter going forward.
@least you've got one guy in your corner, and that's Hoyer, who prolly wouldn't've come back if he didn't think he had a shot @unseating Stidham.RT Taliese Fuaga, DT Jer'Zhan Newton, NT T'Vondre Sweat, LB Cedric Gray, TE Ben Sinnott, RB Daijun Edwards, FS Cole Bishop, QB Joe Milton
