Your (Boltnut) 15-2 is premised off of a healthy year......which we all know is not likely. Heck, lose Herbert early, and 2-15 is in the realm...... I do believe, even with so much still unknown about the roster, 11-6 is well within reach. Yeah, losing Herbert would change everything. But a better OL is a step in the right direction to keeping Herbert healthy. And if this OL can generate a running game, then you're actually further taking the load off of Herbert and again reducing possible injury. I feel like Staley is going to be really successful, bringing creativity in all three phases of the game. There will be plenty of praise thrown TT's way for getting improved OL, and correctly so, but I think Staley will have a greater impact with his vision on utilizing a players strength's in building any of the schemes. (offence, defence, st's)

(offence, defence, st's) Yep, I'm very impressed with Staley. Looking forward to see how certain players will be used in his system. Still trying to wrap my head around the system... but excited to see what it looks like. Must get both offense and defense rolling.

You have a track record of cherrypicking facts, in an effort to overstate your football chops. I have stipulated voluntarily that I wanted Billy Price for the Chargers. Regarding Taylor Rapp, I even allowed you roll with the idea that I wanted him, blanket statement, when it was clearly stated that I wanted to wait for his Pro Day forty time. You have become indignant when I mentioned Dorial Green-Beckham. Yes, you cherrypick facts, and you could not even joke around about Darrisaw, as I was trying to do with you. I did ask you respectfully, privately then publically, and more than once, to cease with the political smack too. Cherry picking facts happens all of the time (i'm not the only offender). Taylor Rapp (despite 40-time) was a very astute pick... one I have commended you for several times. I have admitted that DGB ended up being a bust. I will point out that in my 2015 mock, I picked Bud Dupree. Not cherry-picking, just pointing out who I would have ultimately picked that year in the 1st round. Your PM request that I de-escalate political posts was met. If only this were factually or even intellectually true. AS A MODERATOR, I respectfully requested you to dial it back, for the sake of this board. You continued to escalate. The timeline is there Nutty. Prima facae evidence. I am not the only Moderator you got testy with. Damage is done.
However, your "dick-head" post followed several hours later. My "dick-head" post was in a further effort to get you to dial it back Context.
I'm trying very hard to get back to football. Not really.You don't like that I liked Darrisaw... fine. What do think about the rest of my post (other than "over-rated")...? Do you think that 15-2 is possible...? Which games do you think I got wrong...? Any non-personal critique is welcomed. For the record, I have requested feedback from posters and moderators on this matter. Freak alone, thank you for your honest response. As per a correspondence of less than thirty minutes ago, it sounds like AF is gone. Others must have missed it when, in a timely manner, he attempted to de-escalate. IMV, and I remind you I am a moderator as of this moment, that was very nice of him, while others were not so nice. Judgement call. If anyone here is triggered by AFs avatar, please PM me, as this is always the best way to handle this type of thing.

I remember a game in '08 with Brady out when BB destroyed a decent opponent primarily with STs. I want some of that. Not horrible isn't good enough. Let's have STs serve up a W on a fancy platter with decorations for a change. Being pathetic victims on 'Teams sucks. Flip the script Brandon.

Looks like we drafted that way too. I want serious competition at P/PK too.

If anyone here is triggered by AFs avatar, please PM me, as this is always the best way to handle this type of thing. I didn't get your "PM de-escalation" until 2 hours after you sent it. I can guarantee you that, after I read it, de-esculation occurred. I may have posted an inflammatory message after you sent your PM... but I hadn't noticed (or read) your PM by then. BTW, it was a beauty that many would have enjoyed reading (especially cthommes... since he begged for it). As far as AF goes... at no time did he try to de-escalate. If you have evidence of that, I'd love to see it. McRugby, Headtrip, and Mo all tried to steer him (and Totallybolted) away from the narrative they started pushing way back at the end of Page 1 (for anyone interested in a little re-read). By Page 4 (after several random political slights) I'd had enough. IMO, a good old kick to the balls was in order (akin to your dick-head post) to get the train back on the tracks. It was by no means the first inflammatory post of the thread. There is plenty of latitude given to certain posters and not to others. If you're going allow some posters the grace of non-moderation, then at least allow return volley. In my experience here, we all seem to wear Big-Boy pants. If AF ever does return (I actually like many of his football takes) then I suggest that an avatar change is in order (since it has been determined that PC be enforced). My autistic daughter and myself find that the cringy face and inflammatory quote (Sorry Freak) are offensive. If the Murph avatar upsets you, I can find another. It was actually imported during the "Say Goodbye to the Murph" thread.

I gotta say it, so far the overwhelming majority of PMs I have received regarding AFs "Tribute to Greta Thunberg" avatar have been enthusiastically positive. There is at least some additional room in my mailbox for other Charger fans to have their say.

If Herbert gets injured was our previous OL better than the new one?

Did someone say my name? The proper procedure is to say it three times, while kneeling facing in the direction of Freak.

After working 75 hours per week, 360 days per year, doing medical courier involving such matters as cancer research specimens, stem cell samples, the gift of life (donated human organs and tissue) and hospice medicine, I come home to live in and manage a boarding house. There are mentally damaged people here, and they naturally target me. Several autistic individuals have come and gone. I applaud them for becoming self reliant adults. In a challenging world, it can happen.
