Melvin Gordon: Chargers Are The Team To Beat

[58Miller]

I can multitask lol

I’m concerned with the broncos defense sure but then I remind myself of their offense and then I just laugh it off.

bet you were'nt laughing when this happen last year:

Casey Hayward getting owned by the rookie Sutton.
What makes me laugh is your paper champs couldnt beat Vance Joseph and Keenum

Broncos obviously need all the help they can get because Lindsay isn't an every down back like I’ve been saying.

Trying to sign other peoples third down specialist that they threw away is evidence of that.

I wonder why they waited until now to make a move? Must be something they’re seeing in camp.

I love how you just want to trash anything you can find. I'd also love it if someway you were able to tell that young man how much you apparently think he sucks!!!

I think Denver is just fine in the RB department. Lindsay and Freeman will do absolutely fine and Riddick would only be depth or maybe a replacement for Booker, but they haven't signed him at this point so keep grasping to anything you can to trash Denver...... Hey, you should pray that that's the case so LAC can then pick up Booker to start for that dumpster fire of a backfield you'll be cheering on this year!! Without Gordan you'll be relying on who exactly??? I actually like Ekeler, but as you think about Lindsay, he's not an every down back so you get Justin Jackson and Detrez Newsome...... WHO?????

Ekeler started 3 games last year?? He only had 4 games where he carried the ball more than 10 times..... His high carry was 15. He had a good avg. in games where he carried the ball 5, 6, 7 times being he was a change of pace..... Booker would be a great idea if Denver dropped him for Riddick....

It helps when you stop, think, then come to the realization that this is smack.

Never said I thought he sucks, I just disagree with sam that he is a “full time” every down back.

He’s good don’t get me wrong but he isn’t an every down, do it all back like Gordon is.

The chargers rb situation is similar to the broncos when they don’t have gordon.

More than likely Gordon will be back though and the chargers are not desperate to sign other teams trash at this point unless they have injuries or are desperate like the broncos.

If your rb group is so solid, why wait until tc to add a back now? It’s not like dude is a good prospect, he’s an okay third down back at best.

Riddick just became available, that's why he is being looked at now in TC.... He's had success in the league and why not add depth. Maybe he's just a camp body..... None of us know.

Why did the Chargers make these transactions just before and during TC?? Same difference, right??

lol...the broncos situation is we are better when you have Gordon

broncos...393 att, 1907 yards, 4.9 ave, 119.2ypg. 18 tds

bolts, …..399 att, 1873 yards, 4.7ave. 117.1, 16 tds

nobody believes that idiocy but you homers.

those stats you're posting are about as meaningless as you can get. literally the only thing linsday had on gordon last year was average per rush in part time duty.

melvin gordon had a 5.1 average per rush with 885 yards rushing (73.8 rushing yards per game), 490 yards receiving (40.8 receiving yards per game) for a grand total of 1375 yards from scrimmage (the lowest amount it's been since his rookie year), 14 TD's in 12 games.

philip lindsay (who you think is better than gordon) had a 5.4 average per rush with 1037 yards rushing (69.1 yards per game) 241 yards receiving (16.1 yards per game) for a grand total of 1278 yards from scrimmage, 10 TD's in 16 games.

gordon, who played inn a 1/4 of an NFL season les thna lindsay out produced him in total yards from scrimmage, rushing yards per game, total receiving yards, total rushing TD's, and total receiving TD's. his average was not as good but then again, he isn't a part time back like lindsay is. not only that but gordon runs behind an inferior run blocking OL.

you can cherry pick that average per rush stat and pretend it tells the whole story but i'm not dumb and neither are most people who would disagree with your homer point of view.

like i told you before, lindsay had a good year yes, but he still is no melvin gordon.

[baphamet]

wake me up when lindsay has 4,372 yards from scrimmage and 38 TD's over a 41 game stretch like gordon has done behind a crap OL. nevermind, don't do that, i'd be dead before that ever happened.

keep dreaming arapaho.

yes, because of injuries.......look who we dropped? and the 4th and 5th spot at receiver is now up in the air with tyrell and Dylan Cantrell now gone. they signed gore due to just getting another back in camp because of gordon holding out. the dates that you posted all support this.

my point about Riddick is the broncos are obviously desperate for a third down back because lindsay isn't that guy and they know it. lindsay will likely never be an every down back, mostly because of his size, not his ability. but you can go ahead and disagree with me on that but eventually you will learn.

For all the bold: Why? Because YOU said so??? That's all just opinionated gibberish. You have no clue as to why the idea of Riddick coming in is. Did you not watch Lindsay last season, at all?? Are you part of the organization with this inside track that the rest of us don't know? ? Do you have some lucky crystal ball that tells you what Lindsay can or can't be?? For the most part Bap, I do enjoy having some discussions with you but at other times, you use your opinion so much and try to push it on others as fact that it's just gibberish....... You have absolutely NO idea about anything you stated on this post, NONE......



Sorry..... Had to add something......

Lindsay.... This kid comes out of nowhere and surprises everyone. No, he's not the same style of player as Gordon, but you do not know if he's capable to be an every-down back yet. You don't get to make that decision, his coaches do. Is he a Darren Sproles or a Warrick Dunn?? Time will tell. Coach Fangio has said already that he will use Freeman and Lindsey to keep them fresh. Good game plan, but to act like you know exactly who he is and what he will become after his Rookie season?? Laughable. Shoot, he could even be a one hit wonder, (doubtful), but again, time will tell.

no i don't have an inside track, it's called common sense. lindsay is listed at 5'8 190lbs. he is going to be limited on what he does well and wont be able to take the punishment long term.

my opinions are my opinions, not sure why you all get so ass hurt just because you disagree. i have fun messing with you guys, that's why i'm here man.

I've been calling out the baphster for years now regarding his lame statements that he knows so much more than anyone on the planet about the NFL and he would have you believe he indeed has a genuine crystal ball. He does have a crystal ball that he bought it in a junk shop but hasn't turned it over to see the bottom where it's stamped "Mattel Toys" made in China. He will never stop stating his blowhard opinions as if they were facts and actually believes people don't see right through his never ending NONSENSE!

Yep, 5'8 190 pounds....... Did Warrick Dunn listen to doubters like you?

so you don't agree Lindsay being as small as he is will affect how often he's on the field and if he can be an every down back? you all can act like that's just me "using my crystal ball" but it's a pretty reasonable take.

i may be wrong and he may end up an every down back but the reasonable logic is there as to why i have this OPINION....

again, i'm not and never did say he didn't have a good year last year, i'm simply saying hes a part time back and likely always will be. you are afraid to debate my point (unlike stacks) all you can do is cry endlessly.

[baphamet]

Yep, 5'8 190 pounds....... Did Warrick Dunn listen to doubters like you?

lol and who else? why is it that lindsay went undrafted in your opinion?

football is a team sport bucko...those are team stats


BRONCOS rush offense SINCE GORDON


6971 RUSH YARDS, 4.2 AVE. 50 RUSH TDS

bolts since Gordon

6336 yards,3.8 ave 40 tds

you may wanna add pass production into the equation so it helps , but then not every offense, scheme or Qb is as dependant of the rb dump off or screen as rivers has been his entire career...


psssssst I know for dramatics your going for the games played angle

but despite playing in 12 games MG had only 17 less carries...so ya
