A Name To Keep An Eye On

[Proudiddy]

If you would quit trolling and actually read instead of seeing me as the author of the thread and deciding "herp derp won't read...  let me go pick a line out of context and troll him with it," you would see that quote was already explained.   Combined with all we know about him from a talent and production perspective, the Chargers beat writer said he is a starting caliber talent, and is good enough to start for them if they weren't already so deep.  So, a natural progression in that logic would suggest if he can start for a team with a loaded, more talented WR corps, then he would certainly start here, where our projected starter dropped more passes than he caught and is on the verge of being cut. 

If you're mad bro, go for a run or something and let that hate out.  Or you can keep stalking me through threads and show everyone how petty you are.  Your choice.

Cutting Malcolm Floyd would save the Chargers $3.55 million.  If the Chargers had an UDFA that could step in at $435K and take his starting job without missing a beat, it would be crime NOT to cut Malcolm Floyd and save the team that money on their salary cap.  And since (as you point out) they're so "deep" at WR, it would be at little risk to the team.

Yet it seems like the young UDFA is going to be cut from the team.

In other words, basing Your Next Big WR Dream on a Charger beat reporter's opinion of an UDFA prospect is probably not a wise thing to do.  For all you know, that guy is the Chargers version of Joe Person.

And don't get angry at me because YOU said "immediate starter" and I took it to mean, you know, that you thought he would start immediately.  If that's not what you meant, you shouldn't have used those words.

If that IS what you meant, then that's pretty funny.

Oh, and if rebuttal to your constant Wide Receiver Holy Crusade hurts your feelings (up to the point where you feel like you need to imply a threat to use your moderator ban-stick because you can't take the heat), maybe you should consider downshifting your motor a bit.

Honest question: which player do the same posters who devolve every discussion of this nature into a elitist tantrum have such a glorious glimmering homerism fetish for?

Because I assure this forum is a much more enjoyable experience when people are doing research and pondering possibilities than it is when every thread is a either a generic post about this year's hot button UDFA and the ensuing pages of "derp gettlemagic" or any of the other stupid  threads about Cam's bandana or crusades against the Huddle "haters"

If by rebuttal, you mean following me from thread to thread to try and avenge being shown up in a previous thread by posting passive aggressive, baseless, condescending, provocations (aka trolling), then you are a regular internet Perry Mason.  Pat yourself on the back and help yourself to a cookie.

How pathetic is it that you came in this thread simply to poo on the premise of a WR possibility for no reason other than to be a agitative contrarian (aka trollololol)?  Seriously, go back through this thread and look at your "contribution."  LOL. 

You came in this thread, supposedly attacking my "football intelligence," or however you put it, and here is the beauty of it...  Your beef started with me because I disagreed with Gettleman's lack of activity and attention to the WR position.  I didn't feel comfortable with our FO and staff's alleged confidence in their guys and not providing them competition to prove their worth.  I decide to look for potential "fits" with Gettleman's preferences at WR, and lo and behold, I find one.  Now, here is the beauty of it...  YOU CAME IN THIS THREAD AND ATTACKED ME, AND MY "FOOTBALL INTELLIGENCE" FOR BELIEVING IN A PLAYER THAT GETTLEMAN HAS ALREADY OFFERED A CONTRACT.  LOOOOOOOOOOOOL!  I then say he would come in as an "immediate starter" for our weak WR group, because as I previously mentioned (and you conveniently ignored), the guy our staff was projecting to be the other starter opposite KB has been on the verge of being cut due to his lackluster performance.  I then provided additional context as to why he would be a potential starter here - Their beat writer claims he could be a starter in SD, and again, if you read the article, he derives that POV from interviews with teammates and he player himself.  Additionally, Phillip Rivers reportedly has nicknamed him, "Little Malcolm" for his similarities to Malcolm Floyd.  In case you haven't figured it out at his point, that illustrates the belief people who have witnessed him in camp and games have in him to be a huge contributor for a really talented WR unit in SD.  Their QB compared him to their starter, and their beat writer supported that claim.  Again, all for a guy Gettleman tried to sign after the draft. 

Man, I wish you showed this much ability to scrutinize and critique the shitty UDFAs we currently have.  There was a reason Gettleman wanted him here, and it's not because Brown and Bersin are untouchable.  Also, here is a genius thought...  Maybe the Chargers don't want to cut a talented, veteran, PROVEN guy that their franchise QB has a rapport with and trusts, especially when his current deal is justified by that trust and production?  Nah...  That couldn't be it.  I mean, using your logic, why don't we just cut Norman and save some money for a young, talented, athletic guy wiht potential like Teddy Williams?  Seems like a sound strategy, or maybe not...  Maybe they know it isn't wise to cut their #1 WR for the sake of just doing so, EVEN if there is a guy that can push him on the roster.  Maybe they believe competition makes everyone better, so maybe the only thing that separates their #1 and #5 is age and experience, so it works to their benefit to let the young guys develop when it's not necessary for them to play now?  That way, they're constantly full of talent and don't miss a beat due to injury or players leaving.  Or maybe that's just a ridiculously stupid hypothetical question (at least I hope) someone would throw out there, not fully thinking it through, in an effort to simply be an antagonist? 

You don't want people to question or criticize what we have or our lack of additions at the position.  You don't want to do a trade.  You don't want to sign any available veteran FAs, because according to you, they are "mediocre" and even at 750-850k, "too expensive."  So, I research a guy, read up on him, find out Gettleman liked him and tried to sign him.  Turns out, he could be available and had for cheap, is young and full of potential, and I say he could be an answer to our problems due to our previous connection, and you insult my, errr, Gettleman's football intelligence for wanting him?  LOL.  Good luck finding the exit in your rabbit hole there...  destination, nowhere.

In summary, you have contradicted yourself and crossed the very line you drew on the subject long ago, all at the expense of simply trying to affront, undermine, and insult me.  Congratulations, big man.  Can you make yourself any more apparent as a troll?  Do you want me to send you my picture to fap to tonight? 

Feel free to stop now.  It really is sad.

 

edit: And I didn't threat to moderate you, I reminded you to stay on topic, which you apparently failed to comprehend, or in your childish quest to troll, completely and willfully disregarded.

Proudiddy has done the huddle proud! Weed out the plebs brother! Send that boy home to mama!

[Ivan The Awesome]

They cut Austin pettis instead. lol

[Proudiddy]

If demonstrating that I have a good eye for talent and providing proof of it from my motherfuging la-z-boy is being a hipster, then crack me open a fuging PBR and inhale my woodsy, natural essence.

 

I do this poo for free, you're welcome.

 

[Proudiddy]

They cut Austin pettis instead. lol

After Williams' performance last night, it would be stupid to cut him.  But, I'm still holding out hope.  They have several young guys that were with them last season as well.

[Proudiddy]

Not that hard to subscribe to every player with potential and then cash in if they do something well. How many of the guys you missed on have you psoted about?

Yes, because I haven't projected guys to suck either? 

I also freely admit when I'm wrong...  I didn't like the KB pick, and he proved me wrong.  Either way, I'm vocal about how I predicted them to turn out.  If I'm right, I proudly admit I was right and happy that I was because it means it benefits our team.  If I'm wrong, as I rarely am, like I was with KB, I will proudly admit that as well, because it benefits our team.  I didn't like the CAP pick either.  I was wrong.  And I'm eating my crow happily.  The answers are there, you, in your selective reading, only see what feeds your dislike for my online persona/posting.

Why does that bother you?  Maybe you and tiger can start a fan club for me if you'd like to keep following me and posting how much you don't like me or what I post.  But, I don't want to upset you too bad BWood, I wouldn't want you to have to go off on another racist tirade.

 

Now, get on topic.  Hint:  The topic isn't me or your dislike for my posting habits.

[PanthersUnited]

Why would he be playing til the end of the game in the 4th preseason game?  Why is he wearing a single-digit number?  It isn't because he is a lock to make the roster. 

SD has a lot of talent at WR.  Their top three are Floyd, Keenan Allen, and Stevie Johnson.  I also had completely forgot they signed Jacoby Jones.  So there's four.  The Tribune article lays all of that out.  After those four guys, he is in competition with four other young reciever they like, one of who, Inman, Rivers REALLY trusts, so there's five.  He's basically competing with three or four other guys for the last spot, and I believe several of them have been with SD for the last year (PS and such). 

If I was them, there is no way I'd cut him... But either way, if they cut him or keep him, they're going to be cutting a really good WR who will contribute on Sundays this fall for an NFL team.  My hopes are that they cut him and he sees the opportunity to be had here now with KB injured and signs (if we're still interested). 

I have to be honest with you, I hardly ever read very long posts but I read this and was very impressed, you sound like you are a scout

[Proudiddy]

That's interesting, because when I laugh I make an audible sound emanating from my mouth.  Whereas you apparently have installed some voice-to-text translating technology on your devices that transcribes your laughs into, "Proudiddy loves to tell people how he was the first guy to like a player."

If that's true, you are one of the happiest dudes I know, because you have laughed a hearty, belly-belting, solid three times in the last three days at least.  I'm glad I bring joy to your life and that my posting clearly doesn't bother you.  Thanks for your participation and valuable contributions to every thread you have quoted me and laughed in over the last week.

For those interested, this was the update from the Tribune after Pettis was cut:

http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/sep/04/chargers-roster-cuts-austin-pettis/

Pettis did a solid job in San Diego.

The veteran paired up with quarterback and ex-Rams teammate Kellen Clemens on the second-team offense. One of Pettis' highlights was a 10-yard catch in Arizona on fourth-and-6, helping set up a field goal as the first half expired.

But wide receiver proved to be a competitive position.

How many the team keeps will be known Saturday.

Javontee Herndon and rookie Tyrell Williams are both practice squad eligible should neither make the 53-man roster behind the projected group of Keenan Allen, Stevie Johnson, Malcom Floyd, Dontrelle Inman and Jacoby Jones. None of the five played Thursday in the exhibition finale against the 49ers.

 

Sounds like he still may be on the outside looking in. We'll see.
