I have come around to this way of thinking as well. He fits need and will likely be BPA at 13, regardless of Love is still.on the board.

I hope teams that also need a QB will see us with the QBs and try to move ahead of us and let Kinlaw slip down to us. Then we sign a young vet (not Brady or Rivers) to play QB next year.

I would be very happy with that result.

Free agency starts before the draft, so we'll know before the draft what the QB situation looks like, unless they do some kind of draft day trade if another team like the raiders drafts a QB and will deal their current QB.

I agree. Someone like Bridgewater or Carr would be good. Definitely better than JB.

Saw this on the walterfootball rumors section. Walter football gets fed a lot of mis-information especially about the draft. But I don’t see any strategy benefit to misleading them on a FA signee.

Quote:

One of the top free agents in 2020 will be Seattle Seahawks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, and Clowney has stated a team's likelihood of Super Bowl contention is a key factor for his signing. WalterFootball.com has learned from league sources that the Indianapolis Colts are one of the teams are expected to make a run at signing Clowney. The Colts have a ton of salary cap space and money to spend, and they could use an impactful player on their defensive line. Clowney would also be a great scheme fit in Matt Eberflus' defense. Signing with Indianapolis would also give Clowney the opportunity to play the Texans twice per year, and going against his former team could be a nice perk to signing with Indianapolis. There could be a competitive market for Clowney, and his preference for Super Bowl contenders could rule out some teams, but sources tell me the Colts are going to be a team in serious pursuit of the star defensive end.

In my rat's ass of an opinion, legitimate world championships began being played in 1933 when the NFL started having a playoff on the field to determine the winner of the league ........ from the birth of the NFL in 1920 through 1932, there was no playoff(s) AND teams all played a different number of games. In any given year one team would play 9 games, another team would play 14 games, and yet another team would play as many as 20 games.


This article discusses 100 years of NFL football and how it attained its current status of massive influence, from its inception in 1920 through the present.

It will never happen, but I would like to see them go qb at 13, start him week six and go qb again the following draft with their top pick and just let these guys duke it out. You could argue mentorship, but I think Reich might slide into that role. IDK, but cool to imagine, if either were worth a damn.

It will never happen because if you draft two guys in the first round whos talent isnt apparent then why did you draft them? You take a player in the first round because they have first round talent

Drew Brees and Russell Wilson were not first round picks. Its not just about physical size or speed, its about whats between their ears. Whos the Qb for San Fran? Is he a first round pick?

The toughest challenge for a GM is to find a guy who has the physical tools and the brains to manage the game and the confidence to ignore the fans, press, internet know it alls who question his game.

Being reported that Chargers have “moved on” from Rivers. Not really surprising but pretty much guarantees they go QB. I expect one of Miami or Chargers to move up to ensure they get their QB pick. Makes it significantly harder for Ballard to move up even if he wanted to (I don’t believe he did anyway). For those who like Love I don’t think it’s certain he’ll be there at 13.

Unless they go after Brady. He has a home in LA

I'd rather have Herbert. Looking forward to the Combine, want to compare Herbert and Eason. Also, if Kinlaw is available at 13, take Kinlaw.

The "move on" report was from Glazer. Both the Charger's local media and Rapoport have disputed that claim and instead indicate that "nothing has been decided and all options are on the table." They even state that the Chargers might try to keep Rivers around for a year + draft a QB and have Rivers provide a bridge to the new QB.

I don't like that the past 20+ years of Oregon QB's haven't done ANYTHING in the NFL. Joey Harrington (Herbert's hero), Akili Smith, Mariota--why do they look like high-end NFL prospects running Oregon's offense, but then can't do anything in the NFL? I'd rather take a guy from Utah State with no history of NFL QB's than a program that has recent history of multiple busts.

I have a hard time seeing Rivers resigning to be a bridge QB. Especially if they use their 1st rounder on a QB. Stranger things have happened, but he doesn’t seem like the mentoring type. And even if he wasn’t asked to mentor, I don’t think them “wasting” a valuable pick on his replacement would sit well with him. I could see them keeping him and not picking a QB or maybe using a mid round pick on one I guess.

YDFL Commish 01-28-2020 01:21 PM

I've got a feeling the Chargers will be drafting Herbert.

During my softball playing days, there was this guy on another team in the league that I couldn't stand. When at bat, he would step out after each pitch adjust his fuckin' batting gloves spend half a minute looking at his bat and then step in again. He did that after every pitch and everyone on my team couldn't stand him, he pissed us all off. Then, one year, he joined our team and pissed off everyone on all the other teams. We started to like him and enjoyed watching him piss off all the other teams.

I look at Rivers that way.

Did he go on to play shortstop for the Red Sox?

Rivers never personally bothered me. However, I dont want an old, end of career QB. Rather just roll with brissett

Rivers didn’t really bother me. I just think his skills are declining and they have better skill position talent on the Chargers than we do.

Butter 01-29-2020 06:54 PM

I am not convinced Rivers has much left to offer at this point. Probably still better than Brisket, but by how much?

Im mixed on this. Never like Rivers but he is a good QB. JB would benefit a lot from him.

Hoyer could be cut..... He was brought in as a mentor for JB . Not sure why people dot understand that. He was great for TB in preparation from what I read.

So roll with JB and build the rest of the team, or bring in Rivers and build the rest of the team until there is a real deal legit franchise guy to draft, or JB develops into one.

I do not like any QB's in this draft beyond Burrows and Tua. Tua was injured and is iffy and is left handed (dont like the way the oline is built for a lefty) so that leaves Burrows.

I honestly believe that is JB were in this draft he'd be talked about as a top 4-5 QB

Not sold on Love, Not sold on Herbert.... at least at 13. No way I want them at 13, too much other talent on the board to reach for a QB.

I want Kinlaw at 13 . or trade up to get Chase

I have never been a JB fan, butI'd rather build the D and roll with him for a yr, or bring on Rivers as a mentor for a few yrs.

Like him or not Rivers can play and can win some games

apballin 01-29-2020 09:29 PM

I doubt it happens but with the Reich and sirianni connection it makes me wonder if they’re selling it to Ballard and irsay I honestly can’t say he’d be worse than brissett

Spike 01-29-2020 10:00 PM

No thanks on Rivers. He's old and washed up. Saw a few Charger games this past year and he looked horrible.

That's what I'm saying. Being a whiny prick aside, Rivers looked finished this season. No sense bringing in a washed up QB even though Brisket isn't the guy going forward

New atmosphere do him some good?

I hate the idea of grabbing a QB in the draft JUST to grab a QB.


Ballard and Frank know way more than me but i dont see anything past Burrows and Tua this yr . Rather build the team and roll with JB if it comes down to it
