  4. imo our special teams suck. Using the eye ball test, we CAN'T return kicks and we CAN'T cover kicks. We get almost no return yards and give up long kick returns. is it a lack of talent or poor coaching?

  9. Grey Zabel won the Superbowl, Money. I bugged you so much, trying to get a movement going to pressure the Chargers to draft him—

    That you akwardly asked Charles Davis about him at the combine, in a tone that seemed like you were embarrassed to ask (maybe because a certain fan/me kept bugging you about him?). Charles said "more of a 2nd round guy".

    Again, Seattle won the Superbowl. Are we gonna skimp put on OL again this offseason?

    Then what—start having Justin Herbert/QB questions if he doesn't succeed? Hell with a DT (the defense has been top notch the past TWO years!).

    Let's focus this entire offseason to OVER-ADDRESSING the OL!

    Both Free Agency AND the draft!

    Free Agency:
    -Tyler Linderbaum or Connor Mcgovern
    -Isaac Seumalo

    Draft:
    1st Round- Olaivavega Ioane
    2nd Round- Swing Tackle

    Screw the "Living room, the garage, the back yard"… as long as we gotta bathroom and a kitchen we're *cooking with gas.

    (H/T Mina Kines for the expression. Mina Kimes advocated HARD for the Chargers to upgrade the IOL LAST offseason too, to no avail. Some food for thought)

  11. Stop with the ZJ bs, "MoneyPenny", he is a bust. He's less than mediocre; the stats are there, and we have eyes, so stop trying to gaslight us. You've been harping about how he is too great to fail for years, and reality proved you WRONG. How much do you care about Herbert's health? How willing are you to let that 77 bum stay there, allowing yet another sack that might take our QB out of the game or the season? Let him play for another team that wants their QB killed. And we DO NEED a #1 WR, SMITHers. EVERY team needs one, stop with that slop of a bunch of number 2s are as good as 1. I would trade all the WRs we have for Puka Nacua, for instance, and so you do, unless you have another agenda that is to keep the Chargers mediocre.

  17. This past season is the first time Sam actually watched Herbert film using comparative context in his evaluation. He seldom had good things to say about Herbert in the past. The "Shouty Shows" know the highest engagement around Herbert is to regurgitate the sleezy "take" from loser ladder-climber asshole Emmanual Acho and the sleep her way to the top brain-dead Joy Taylor of Justin being a "social media QB".

  20. I don't think, I know Ladd's a WR1 and Q is too imo. I can't wait till 🍂 I've been posting on every podcast We Don't Need Skill position players. Fix the oline and defense needs. then I'm watching DJ on a podcast and he says the exact same thing… Ain't gonna lie hearing him say that sure felt good and I 🙏 the people in charge heard him and listen. Can't wait til 🍂 ⚡⚡⚡

  21. No more "figure it out" Olinemen money we need to pay up and get as close to elite Olinemen no more doing the bare minimum it must be addressed or all these hits going take the love of the game from herbert. Look what beats did to their Oline in one offseason with Ben johnson. Look like yall ready for Vacation signing Alijah Tucker would be a disaster after dealing with Becton not yall best Pod today man.
