Anthony Lynn still likes Cardale Jones - "Cardale’s doing all the things he needs to be doing to be an NFL starting quarterback. He has a tremendous skillset. And finally his life has some stability. For the first time in his life, he’s been in the same system in back to back years. So, we’re expecting Cardale to take that next step this year, and we’ll see if he can be the quarterback of the future. We’re going to find out."
is happy reading this.
"We're going to find out... what Charger fans knew all along."

These are the only remedy for the offseason:  We need a big supply of these for the game day threads. LOL

NBC Sports' Peter King believes Washington is the "favorite in the clubhouse" to trade for Josh Rosen.
Over the weekend, ESPN's John Keim reported there is a "solid chance" Washington trades for Rosen. The Cardinals are infatuated with Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray, so it seems like a foregone conclusion Rosen will be moved before the draft. The Giants reportedly are "not in love" with Rosen, leaving Washington as the only real suitor unless a team with an older quarterback like the Chargers or Patriots decides to get involved. Rosen did not play well as a rookie, but he was in a bad situation and, most importantly, is on a cheap contract over the next three seasons. The team which ends up trading for him will be getting a bargain.

How many times we seen Phil furiously clapping hands with 2sec left on clock? Better O-line play removes this struggle. Give Phil 3+ secs to throw and he will light em up.

I was grateful, and it had Anthony Lynn written all over it. I think he was done with watching it too.

Having that 'we are better than you' attitude goes a long way towards just walking up to the line and running the play.

Having that 'we are better than you' attitude goes a long way towards just walking up to the line and running the play. rare today IMO except for teams where the QB is not given the leeway because his skill is not there yet. It's usually just a couple plays that a team has that other teams simply cannot stop. The Bolts when they had LT had a play they ran off of left tackle, ( I think it was "Power 50 left") some one else may remember the call better. But that play was virtually unstoppable. That was the Play they used when LT scored his season TD record vs Denver. Green Bay had a sweep back in their heyday that teams could not stop. 3 SB in a row. Personally, I don't have a issue with the QB looking at the D then making a call. Nor do I care the play goes down to 2 sec. Play clock only matters at the end. And then only if you are winning or losing by one score. Granted more talent/confidence would reduce the need to make as many adjustments.

My thought is while one must recognize the advantage of having a QB smart enough to switch out of play called, but it is best if that switching is rarely needed. If it is the regular event, then your OC is losing the chess game against the DC, and losing it badly. Having the talent, and by extension the confidence, to just run the play called seems like the best scenario. I hate giving up the advantage of knowing when the play will start, and an offence is doing just that if it allows the clock to get down to 2-3 seconds, or so I think.

Listen up ball watchers, Nick Hardwick used to call the blocking assignments at the line and was very good at it. It's sad that you BW's never appreciated all that he did. Philip still had the option to call an audible. Since Nick retired Philip does both. I used to think that it was a Mike McCoy preference, then I thought it was a gap at center issue. But Lynn arrived and we signed Pouncey and that has not changed, I believe that it is Philip's preference. It's not a lack of talent that is driving his under the center adjustments.

So what you are saying is the OL has the talent, and it is Rivers' lack of ability to make the blocking calls in a timely enough fashion to not run the clock down to just a few seconds. If what you claim is true, AL needs to tell Rivers 'get it done, or get it changed'....... I do not believe you are correct though, as Pouncy is clearly seen barking out calls.

When Pouncy came he started taking a lead role. I expect that to improve this year. Nick and PR developed a good relationship, they were so in tune with each other on the calls it was complementary. So sdc is correct. Nick was an outstanding leader on that line. heres to Pouncy making that a reality again.

Good points from sdc
Hardwick was excellent. Hoping Pouncey takes over the calls as well.
If I notice the Chargers will snap the ball with 1 sec left, what do you think Reid/ Bellicheck are planning?
