I think people are judgmental of trading up for a QB this year because the class was seen as weak. But there's always an element of chance in this poo poo anyway. Some 1st pick QBs bust, some undrafted guys become starters. Some suffer horrible injuries, some mentally check out of the game. You're never going to know if you made the right move until 4-5 years down the road. So we can laugh about it now, but it's likely that one of these QBs will shine, a couple will bust, and those who guess right get to say Told you so.

Also, the Packers cut every RB that wasn't Ty Montgomery to make room for their draft class.

People are judgemental about trading up for a QB because it's worked once in the last three decades

I am just a little resentful that after so many years of having an actual boring team, now that we don't have one I need people to recognize it so I can feel accepted into the cool teams football community :smith:

Look man I can sit here and tell you how exciting it is to watch Philip Rivers or Joey Bosa but to a Packers fan or a Giants fan or a Panthers fan, the Chargers are just some afc team that they never see play.

Most teams are like this to some degree including yours

It does feel that way. I would like to remind everyone that his failed tests were codeine in his cough medicine, pot at such a low level that if they had reversed the order of the samples he would have passed and taking a drink on a plane after his season ended but not the league year.


How long should he go since his last failure to be allowed back in???

Considering he's failed multiple tests and is such a dummy about it, I'm fine with it being a year to year thing

Holy crap, he is only 26, most of this stuff happened when he was 23-24. Also, keep in mind that he ENTERED the league in stage two testing. He was set up for failure from the get go. Addiction is a powerful thing and if they continue to punish him for past infractions it will be more and more difficult for him to combat it, I mean from his eyes why bother trying to come back because the league just isn't letting him back. Dude is still getting tested 10 times a month, sheesh.

I think it makes sense. Like, both years the Chargers offense has been hella injured, but still, he went from:

66% 4800 yards, 29 TD, 13 ints
to
60.5% 4400 yards, 33 TD, 21 ints

and over the 2nd half of last season he faded pretty badly (in large part due to injuries, but hey).

Last year was the major hit to the receiving Corp. 2015 was the OL injuries

Addae is what would've happened if Rodney Harrison had no discernable football skills other than 'hit people' and 'get injured all the time'.

Hated the Chargers giving him a long term deal. He's just not that good.

He seems to be a good locker room guy, but that doesn't make up for him being a bad football player
