just dropping by to see how you all are doing. reading some of these threads, not much has changed in the world of smack around here since December lol
honestly i'm not really that interested in smack anymore but i wanted to stop by and say "hi" and as well as give my thoughts (and maybe a talk a lil smack) on a few things football related.
rivers is gone and it sucks. the chargers still have good talent across the board but no proven, legit starting QB. taylor has a chance to be a decent fill in "game manager" but he isn't the answer. Justin herbert, a very likable kid, who has all the physical tools with potential needs development and work. he's no guarantee to pan out but he's extremely smart, we will see.
I think the chargers are an extremely difficult team to predict this year. most are saying they are going to be bad due to them not having a solid QB situation. however, taylor is almost certainly going to protect the ball better than rivers and the offense did last season. the offense will not be as good without rivers and gordon but if they can not turn it over as much it could mean more wins.
they have upgraded the OL big time and now, even though i love rivers, all three of their current QB's are mobile. hopefully the offense can hover around top 15 with less turnovers, that could be a recipe for success.
especially when you consider how stacked the defense is looking now. the chargers defense is crazy stacked now. with CHJ and the linval joseph additions alone, that upgrades that defense by a lot. a defense that was already stacked with good talent. also, with their first round draft pick LB they reached for, hopefully upgrading the LB'er room as well.
the chargers are are a more one dimensional team now but like i said before, turnovers were a huge problem last season and taylor has always been solid at protecting the football.
melvin gordon......oh where to begin. i seen the thread about him and here is my response to that. i still think he's a good back and i think he makes your team better. however........
THIS DUDE......the one who turned down 10 mill per and called that "disrespectful" now took an offer for less and is clapping back at the chargers and their fans as if he was wronged?
gordon is a legit moron. he screwed himself out of a contract he called disrespectful that was better than any other offer he got. he makes a joke about there being no fans yet are fans going to stop him from fumbling the ball on the 1 yard line?
oh well, trade me CHJ for gordons cryin ass any day. CHJ who is also disgruntled isn't running the broncos through the dirt, even though they didn't offer him the best contract he could possibly get like the chargers did with gordon. also, gordon has been getting lit up by chargers fans ever since he turned down that deal, he's been going back and forth with them on twitter ever since, even after he signed with the broncos.
for a team with no fans, he sure as hell gets bent out of shape about what they think of him. dude is soft and when he messes up in Denver and the fans give him crap about it, he isn't going to take it well.
remember that.
as far as the broncos go, they had a good draft, they look like a well rounded team now, with a over-rated QB. you guys are geeked about that kid and it makes me laugh. dude is literally most known for rapping on the sideline but broncos fans all over act like hes a proven commodity, he's not.
yes elway did a good job getting help around him. the receiver room looks much improved and with the gordon/limdsay tandem, that offense is looking good on paper. I just dont know if lock is the QB you all think he is yet. but all in all i think the broncos may have the slight edge over the chargers and the raiders for second best team in the division.
my pre-training camp prediction:
chiefs 12-4
broncos 10-6
chargers 8-8
raiders 7-9
that's it, that's all i got! my team sucks and the broncos are better (hope that makes up for me not being here after losing the sig bet, sorry guys)
have a good one guys and stay safe in these crazy times.
