This is what happens when your O-line gets bitch slapped by da raidaaas.

McNeill should send Oakland a Thank You card.

Wrong, Mcneil signed his FT contract 3 weeks ago, and his availability for their next game has no bearing on last weeks performance.

As a holdout, McNeill was placed on the team's "Did Not Report" list for training camp, allowing the Chargers to receive a roster exemption for his spot.

why didnt they just do that in the first place? trying to make a point by not having your best lineman on the field for 5 weeks and being 2-3? stupid.

AJ Smith, while being very good at what he does also has a tremendous ego.

See battles between Schottenheimer, Tomlinson et al carried out in the press for evidence.

Who says that they would have done it this year without the holdout? They could have just let him play out his one year tender, and slap the franchise tag on him next season (2012 if a lockout), and continued on.

P.S. MM may not be the best lineman on that team either, although he has been very very good.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
