I have no idea why you are so irrationally upset about the notion that going out and spending $150 million free agency dollars on two interior offensive linemen could be construed as a panic response after our #1 pick we traded a fortune for had one of the worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years. It is objectively what transpired. Dan Morgan as of right now is a mixed bag. Some really good some so so some not so good some bad some really bad. You take any rational criticism personally like you are related to him or something. That's something you'll have to figure out for yourself. Anyways. The predicament Dan Morgan finds himself in for this year will define his future as GM. I sincerely hope he navigates it to perfection. But the circumstances are largely of his own creation. And not just in his stint as GM but going back to his time as assistant GM. Which conveniently people like yourself don't like to talk about. That is the reality of the situation. I like how you will carry water for Dan Morgan to the point of getting into random spats with people but make no mention of Bryce Young's glaring limitations and shortcomings as a starting QB yet go out of your way to put the onus of our struggles squarely on Canales. I mean I've been quite critical of Canales too but he sure isn't the only one to blame for our problems.

I'll be direct and to the point. If you can't handle difference of opinion without making it personal because I am not being a sycophant to your standards then do not quote me. We can disagree without this nonsense. As far as the matter at hand. I think Lewis and Hunt are good at what they do. I like them. I wanted us to address the OL. I wanted to do it largely via the draft though. We went the instant results path and now we have the highest paid OL in the league and the results are the same as the Texans who gave up the same number of sacks as us (37) but the difference is they are 25 out of 32 in salary cap dedicated to the OL while we are #1. And they have a more balanced roster to show for it. Now we are at a crossroads where we are basically cornered into investing even more resources into the OL for what was ultimately the 27th passing offense. This is not good. If you're arguing with me on that point then we have nothing further to discuss. Goodnight.

Since the Cavs loss we've won the last two games. On any given gameday this team either shoots lights out from behind the arc or they look like they're doing their best Carlton impression.

We'll see how Morgan navigates it. For all the resources we tied up in two OG's in free agency I would argue Center had been our biggest problem going back to 2020. We need quality depth there. The problem now is Morgan's panic signings in Lewis and Hunt paired with the now very murky future of Icky make this even trickier. Ya know. It sure would have been nice to draft a future Center a few years ago instead of an already injured RB.

I guess some fans have already forgotten the Paradis/Elflein days. Center should remain a top priority.

I don't think McCarthy is the worst possible hire they could have made but if he couldn't get it done with multiple teams in the NFC he's doomed in the AFC with a rebuilding Steelers and no viable long term QB. I can't stand Steelers fans in general but especially the local bandwagon ones around here so this is hilarious.

LB and DL are the priority. Let the chips fall where they may in the first round of the draft and take the best player available.

I have no idea if he would pan out as an NFL coach I mean stranger things have happened. But if the argument that he could pan out is based on his NFL career my position is he has been comically overrated. To have had the hall of fame talent around him on the Chargers and only sniff one conference championship is pitiful.

If the Bills are even remotely considering Rivers everyone in that front office needs a welfare check.

In a perfect world I agree. But a Moose level reunion is not realistic in this era of the league with how crazy contracts are now. By comparison his contract with the Bears before he came back to us worth $30 million with only $12 million guaranteed. Compare that to DJ Moore at $110 million with $82.6 million guaranteed and have yourself a nice chuckle.

I meant to post that in the other thread about DJ Moore I just got the two mixed up in my tabs. I do agree we could use some speed. Unfortunately I think we are at a point where we have got to spread our resources around and with what we have invested in the OL already and two firsts in WR and the investments in the backfield it just reaches a point where you have to say alright if your QB and offensive minded head coach can't work with the offensive group as is they'll never succeed.

Folks complained quite frequently when DJ Moore was here that he was not a #1 and never would be. That was when he was still on a rookie contract and then briefly on the new deal we signed him to which now looks like an absolute steal compared to his current contract. If he were here now making what he's making we would never hear the end of it. Gotta turn the page.

Wrong thread.

Tomlinson was a dog. I think CMC is one of the best to ever play as a swiss army knife type of weapon. In terms of pure punishing bruising runner he cannot hold Tomlinson's jock. LT was a literal Ironman. 9 years with the Chargers never played less than 14 games in a season. Missed 3 games total. 12,490 yards. 138 touchdowns. That's an MVP candidate. Since 2020 CMC has missed 57 games. Fifty seven. You can't be the most valuable from the bench brother.

"He's ascending" Yeah that's why we're all holding our breath waiting to see if Bryce Young will begin his fourth season as a starter playing horribly like he has the first three seasons.
