Not surprising its 2 teams that already have franchise QBs in place, finding a reliable QB right now is a nightmare and you have to bet on reclamation projects or tank for one in the draft , it's so bad that people want Ghost Boy back in Carolina 

I think he may have been considering us untill Baker didn't work out, we are still a cart without a horse

I am fairly certain he meant New Orleans.  He is still technically under contract to them.  And any team he goes to will have to compensate New Orleans.  

Yeah I'm aware or that.  It seemed like he was trying to say that Atlanta would outbid us in terms of compensation to keep him from coming here and instead coach the falcons

Hmmm, can't imagine that would happen.  Fwiw, I think given their cap limitations, I think Atlanta's new coach has done an amazing job.  Give him a solid qb, and they might be set for a while.

Lol nothing like hearing Sean Payton wants your job.

Thinking Chargers are best fit for him. 

True, I wouldn't be surprised if Arizona moves on from Kyler in a couple years anyway, dead cap hit is manageable after 2024. They probably need to see him with a different HC before then to determine if Kingsbury is the problem or if they're both children

I think most of us knew by this point that he wasn't coming here.

Surprised the Cowboys aren't listed though 🤔

this sounds like assumptions being made based off of his interview a couple months ago about going to a unicorn (aka team with a franchise QB in place). At this point in time, the Chargers and Cardinals are the only teams with franchise QBs that might be moving on from their HCs.

I'd be interested in how much of this is truth vs speculation. Also, my theory for where Payton lands......

As much as I think Brandon Staley just isnt it for the Chargers... if they make the playoffs this year with all of the injuries they have been dealing with... I cant see LA firing him. 

There's usually one coach that gets fired despite making the playoffs. It was the Chargers after all who canned Schottenheimer after he went 14-2.

Schottenheimer was fired because he turned down the 1 year lame duck extension from Dean Spanos. They had bad blood between each other for the longest time. Coincidence for sure, but no reason to think Staley will get fired.  Staley had a winning season his first year as HC and is on pace to have another.  It would have to take an absolute bombing of the season for them to move on. Chargers lead the league in missed time due to  injuries to starting players, and he is still finding ways to win football games on both sides of the football.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
