3 QB’s to cover the COVID protocol and not get caught in a 2020 Denver-scenario in a season where games will not be delayed or postponed due to COVID infections / exposures (listen to Staley’s presser yesterday). All of the bottom tier WR’s, RB’s, DB’s, and LB’s will be major contributors on special teams. You think that there was a lot of turnover to the overall roster, be sure to make a comparison of last year’s special teams to this year’s. There has been a total overhaul, and in my (and likely other’s) opinion a very necessary overhaul. We will soon find out if it’s a success or a disaster, but something different had to be done after being subjected to the worst-in-the-league-by-a-large-margin special teams that we have suffered through for several seasons. 😠 You don't have to tell me how horrible special teams were last year. We don't need to carry 3 QB's, period. One of them would make room for Johnson's return. Sign a Tackle and cut Pipkins too. Johnson is gone.

Johnson is gone. Me sad. He's in Trevor Lawrence's lap now and we gift wrapped him. If you think I am wrong, look how long he lasted on waivers. Like instant.

What a brain dead decision... That will come to bite us if/when somebody like Mike Williams gets injured. I'm starting to scratch my head over some of Staley's decisions... I hope this isn't another Josh McDaniel type situation.

We’ll see if that changes now that the roster has been set at 53 with an emphasis on keeping backups who contribute on special teams (hello gunner/returner Guyton & returner Hill, 👋 WR-only Johnson). If we still can’t, then hoof it into the Pacific Ocean Viz! Twitter is having a fit about the Johnson cut. Me too

Jury is out

Way down the WR list, and no ST's ability or willingness, gets you cut. Are you saying there is no way they cut a top 4 WR. There's just no way. That has never happened. Nope. Not ever in the history of the Chargers. (Wes Welker was cut by us.)

Not ever in the history of the Chargers. (Wes Welker was cut by us.) I think that happened because marty only saw wes as a kick returner and he was already in love with the oft injured tim dwight whom marty had lobbied management to trade for. Had marty’s staff given wes a real chance at WR they probably wouldn’t have cut him. this is different and with the passing game being as prominent as it has become since that era, awesome WR are becoming almost common place it seems like every year the draft is loaded with a new wave of guys. We’re going to see less and less of them drafted high in the next few years as teams continue to find players like palmer in later rounds

While I liked Johnson and was a bit surprised to see him cut, if the new coaching staff believes and it proves correct that those kept over him can help correct our dysfunctional special teams play which contributed to quite a few losses over the last couple of years, I can understand it.
Besides the WR we kept we also have Cook and Parham as well as backs who can help out in the passing game.

I am not worried about the passing game and that’s why staley gets a pass on this one, I still think herbert is going to throw for a ton of yards.
