It's because he is an asshole.

Laughed out loud at the audience member joke

[Mr. Scot]

Well, this is classy

The video...

Guess I don't "understand the journey" either

[Mr. Scot]

And this is...uuummm

Wow

Well, this could get interesting.

Austin Ekeler after 34-36 loss to the Dolphins:

 Our coaching hasn’t always been the best. Our play hasn’t always been the best. And when you have a combination of those, then guess what? You’re going to be inconsistent.”

Accountability is always refreshing. But when a player throws coaching under the bus, especially on a staff where the head coach is already on the hot seat, that grabs people’s attention. Ekeler also called out the players, but that isn’t uncommon. Staley and his staff already have their feet to the fire after that playoff loss to Jacksonville, where they squandered a 27-point lead. When a star player publicly shows a lack of confidence in his coach, the end is likely near.

Not related but sad news:

Ekeler was not at practice on Wednesday for personal reasons following the death of his agent, Cameron Weiss, on Sunday. Weiss, who died of cancer, was 38.

He wanted an extension and is playing out the last year of his deal. It’s not surprising that he’d throw the coach under the bus. Pretty surreal he asked to be traded as well.

That said, I agree with Ekeler, Staley isn’t a good coach. He’s even gotten lucky in his dumb decisions. I think last year he went for it against the Browns and the Browns kicker missed a FG to win the game. Against KC they had a win before a couple dumb decisions. The Chargers have more than enough talent and don’t play up to their potential.

Staley looked like a boy wonder for about a season but the carriage turned back into a pumpkin real quick.

Steelers put Cam Heyward on IR and Deandre Hopkins looks to possibly be out week 2…injuries coming early for everyone 

[Mr. Scot]

Now here's some roster management...

 

[Mr. Scot]

And in game management...
