Having a better QB than Mahomes would be swell but don't hold your breath. We need a D that can pass rush, defend the run, control the edge and pass protect on every down.
We need a ball control offense that can grind it out or air it out, keep opponents on the bench and score in the red zone.Mobile QB with a decent arm & composure. Solid OL that can convert short yardage more often than not. A RB that we can ride. A WR with speed & hands. A top young CB. ...among others.  TT needs some FA hits. Bingo! We were two properly play-called 4th quarters away from talking about how Andy Reid just can't win the big game. Luckily for him, both Vrabel and Shannihan choked. They stopped attacking the edges in the run game for some inexplicable reason. Get a lead. Keep a lead. It's not brain surgery. We're two OT's away from keeping Mahommes on the bench. Who had the better PFF grade last season, Mahommes or Tannehill...?

I think his 2019 holdout, contract demands broke ties with Chargers. He stayed out, gave up game checks, fine money when there was nothing to be gained contract wise, to the detriment of the club & his teammates. We aren't meeting his earlier demands and I don't see him taking less with LAC. Might happen but seems unlikely. He demonstrated a lack of trust in the organization (justified or not) and can't expect LAC to place their money (and trust) in MGIII. He came back EARLY, and that really impressed the Org. It will be financial if he doesn't return. Held out TC, Preseason, 3 reg season games, didn't play a 4th, didn't play very well the 12 games he appeared in.
He was too early. We were 2-2 in the 4 he didn't play, 3-9 in the 12 he did play.

Interesting stat, especially for you oline haters...
In 2020 the Chargers became the first team in the Superbowl era to rush for fewer than 40 yards in 4 straight games. Wow!!!

Running the football is what Lynn is all about......Bolts have nothing to worry about, just get rid of that pass happy QB, and let Lynn show the way.

Draw whatever conclusion you like but I get the impression that he wasn't much help. Not a good look when he wants a big pay raise. He needs to lower his sights considerably or look elsewhere.

Pretty sure Lynn wants a solid run game, equally sure he wants to pass. Make 'em defend the entire field. The ability to convert short yardage consistently and take the air out with a lead in the closing minutes is something I believe AL would like to have in his pocket but it's only a piece of the picture. Establishing an imposing ground threat opens up the pass.

“Tyrod Taylor is a heck of a quarterback,” Lynn said, via ESPN.com. “We couldn’t have a better backup right now, and now he has an opportunity to maybe step up into a starting role. I’ve had Tyrod before [in Buffalo], and I know what this young man brings to the table, in the passing game and the running game. One of the things he does very well is take care of the football. I believe every year he’s started in this league he’s been the No. 1 quarterback in taking care of the football. I believe more games are lost than won. So if we can just take care of the football and take it away, we’ll be OK.” Take care of the football. Oof. Direct shot at PR. “Maybe” step up. He’s not committing. There will be a competition. I’m still guessing there will be a FA QB signing. Meh. “Take your 65th sack of the year” isn’t exactly riveting coaching Anthony.

I think Rivers was a problem with his audibles, so reeling that in was important. If there truly was a 'control' clash between Rivers and Lynn, I understand the FO's decision to move on from Rivers, and there was way more to that decision than just taking HC over player. That acknowledged, I think Lynn is just an average, to even below average HC, and would have moved on from him. All of the 'wants' you have listed won't help a boring, predictable, sloppy HC..... Yea sloppy....just look at how unprepared his team was in so many games, that is on him. Moving on from a franchise QB, even one clashing with the HC, has not made this team better. Welcome to QB hell......

He was too early. We were 2-2 in the 4 he didn't play, 3-9 in the 12 he did play. Came back after 3 when he was due in the 10th. That's called coming back early, and the org. was again, impressed. Let me tell you where you are at here: You can make the argument that Gordon is THE FA running back this offseason. You want to lose that ? Fine. Be careful what you wish for.
