ESPN: Russell Wilson: 1st player in NFL history with 300 passing yards and 100 rushing yards in a game

A lot of people compare Wilson to a modern 21st Century version of the legendary HOF QB Fran Tarkenton

An earlier post mentioned Rivers weapons. Look where those guys got drafted and what the Chargers have lost thus far.

Rivers has a nice surrounding cast at the skill positions, it's his offensive line that sucks. Note when Brady struggles, some people blame it on his OL. But Rivers, Ryan, and Brees are all doing well with bad OLs as well...

Sacks, Hit and Hurries Allowed by Offensive Line

88 San Diego Chargers (Rivers)

88 Atlanta Falcons (Matt Ryan)

84 Minnesota Vikings (Teddy Bridgewater)

84 New England Patriots (Tom Brady)

84 Buffalo Bills (Kyle Orton)

82 San Fransisco 49ers (Colin Kaepernick)

79 New York Jets (Geno Smith)

79 New Orleans Saints (Drew Brees)

78 Carolina Panthers (Cam Newton)

75 St. Louis Rams (Austin Davis)

West

Sporting News MVP update:

1. DeMarco Murray

2. Rivers

3. Rodgers

6. Peyton Manning

7. JJ Watt

that same day (Oct 16), the Washington Post ranked them:

1. Rivers (today: "Rivers played reasonably well Sunday...Rivers’s streak of five straight games with a passer rating above 120 ended Sunday with a passer rating of 83.4")

2. Luck (today: "Luck was terrific again Sunday")

3. Manning (today: "Manning became the NFL’s career leader in TD passes")

4. Rodgers (today: "Aaron Rodgers is doing it all")

5. DeMarco Murray (today: "Murray continues to churn out rushing yards")

6. JJ Watt

NFL.com:

-The Chargers' hot streak cooled considerably in front of the home folk Sunday, partially because Philip Rivers wasn't on his game.

-at this point, anyone who thinks Russell Wilson is a glorified "game manager" -- or clearly inferior to Andrew Luck -- is crazy. Wilson threw for 313 yards and ran for 106 against the Rams -- without committing a single turnover.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      The defense is 28 out of 32 in salary cap allocation for 2025. We have a ton of resources tied up in the offense including the highest paid OL in the league multiple 1st round WR's and multiple recent draft picks across the offense at TE and RB and we have two 1000 yard backs. Bryce and company couldn't get past Tyler Shough and his crew in 2 games. That's all there is to it. You can spin it and put the entire onus on the defense to your heart's desire it doesn't change the fact that this is an OFFENSIVE team now. If you want to argue that we should revert back to a defensive identity as we have been in the past which has brought us success then I will agree with you on that. But as it stands the onus is on the offense because that is where we have invested through the nose. Dave Canales and Bryce Young need to do a hell of a lot better than they have against the rebuilding Saints who without us should only have 2 wins this season.

      Bryce is not trending up. He is the same QB he has always been. Bottom of the league in most categories.  If Canales thinks he can build a contender with Bryce then he is a bigger idiot then I thought.  Offense next year will have the same issues and be just as inconsistent as it was this year.  We have seen Bryce’a ceiling and it is 175 yards a game and that is not a QB you keep around as your starter. That is barely a backup.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By frankw · Posted

      Looks like Darnold should have had at least 3 picks. That'll get ugly in the playoffs eventually. Can't deny his physical talent though. You either have that or you don't. Mike Macdonald is a legit coach.
