When the rules are selectively applied, not based on the action, but by the subject...then call it what it is. Not a Code of Conduct, but an exercise in implementing ‘groupthink’. I abide by the rules here. I got a 30 day suspension for bumping a thread. It was deleted and I made another thread commenting on that action. Where in the CoC does it state that not being permitted? Meanwhile, someone insinuates I was molested as a child...? Nothing? Have you ever met someone this happened to? Let me assure you, it’s not a joking matter. Yet the greater crime here was bumping a thr

Enjoying the 1 game = 8 seasons intellect here. Whats really interesting is that there is another organization that’s gone 57-71 during the same time stretch. The Detroit Lions. ...and when their QB said, it’s time for a fresh start, the Lions said ‘you’re right’. Not ‘what can we do to change your mind...show you that we’re committed to putting the right people around you’. Yes...Stafford’s contract makes this an easier exercise. It you think Fontenot is going to look at Ryan’s contract as an impediment. The OP leverages Ryan in the best way possible for his remaining

It kind of does...if we draft an elite one, the team will likely be much improved. This disassociation of the quality of QB play and the teams performance is really puzzling. I guess when you’re conditioned to celebrate a QB whose gone 57-71 for 8 seasons, you’ll settle for the drippings of the successful versus finding a genuine path to success.

This doesn’t seem like a difficult concept to grasp. And yet we’ve seen how blind folks can be in their loyalty to a franchise icon. Are the Chargers thinking QB after drafting Herbert? No - he balled. Are the Dolphins? Possibly...he didn’t ball. But it goes to show you just how vital the position is. There is not even a close #2 in terms of importance.

So being pompous is a greater crime here against the CoC than painting someone as having been sexually abused as a child? I don’t have any personal relationships here...and I’ve been here for two decades. Allows me to not care about any of the slights or ‘blasts’ as you’ve put it. I come here to joust. But if you think you’re a steward of some type of fairness doctrine related to what goes on here, I laugh at your double standards.

Not to get off topic, but while Mayfield came back nicely this year from a terrible Year 2, I’d say his leadership traits which were in abundance in college, have teetered as a pro. Its a different ball of wax leading grown men v college kids and I’d say that he hasn’t been great in this area. And what’s also important is to ensure the production and skills progress at the same pace. They physical aspect of the game can’t be compartmentalzied. Ryan Fitzpatrick is a GREAT leader...but his physical skill set and production, or lack thereof, invariably always show up. And thus his teams

Truth be told...you can’t identify it during the draft process. An NFL QB has to grow into being this type of foundation. How Justin Herbert leads the Chargers in 2021 will be significantly different than 2026/2031. Right now, he’s precocious young gunslinger. He won’t be that 10 years from now...he’ll need to evolve into something/someone more than just a QB running an offense. Thats what the folks here don’t get. The best QB’s make their team greater than the sum of their parts.

If a QB has a good season that doesn’t lead to team success...what was the point? Listen, if it’s Justin Herbert having the season he just did...you can say ‘Wow! I know we went 7-9, but we’ve got the QB position settled for the next decade plus’...that gives runway for positional and leadership growth. The Chargers will grow around Herbert moving forward. Everybody equates good QB play simply with statistical production. A QB is soooo much more than that. If you think you have a franchise QB, he embodies the entire spirit and ethos of the entire franchise. You think TB is whe
