Anybody else see this? He's working out at Venice Beach... man what an ego this guy has, I knew there was a reason I didn't like him.

And that gay ass tattoo of a light switch on his arm? He said that's what he's doing in that retarded dance he does is "turning off" the lights for his "lights out" nickname... what a moron.

Makes me like this play even more...

I thought maybe all that ish was just a persona he had on the field, but then I spent last season watching him basically jerk himself off every week on PFP on Fox on Fridays.Yep, he's nauseating. I said on another thread he reminds me of Mark Gastineau.

He is certainly not my favorite player on the Chargers roster, and I don't love excessive dancing/celebration. However he does bring "it" every play. I wish that Pep had half of that gametime intensity.

I think that the theatrics is one of the main reasons that you will never see the Chargers sign him to a long term deal. They can get three more seasons out of him before watching him walk away....which i assume is what AJ Smith will do.

It sure seems that way with their signing of his backup to a pretty nice deal last year. Jyles Tucker?

Yup.

I think that they are grooming him to take over after his final and his two franchise tag years. He needs to gain a little weight, and be a little better in coverage and against the run, but it sure seems that SM won't be with the Bolts more than 3 years.

They still have to sign Rivers, Vincent Jackson, and McNeill to extensions, so SM may be the odd one out.

I think I heard Mayock say there are a couple guys in the draft he thinks would be good 5 technique guys. I wish I could remember the two names-ARGH! Those are hard to find and so are NTs. I saw a list of possible NTs and it's not bad. I always listen to Mayock #1 because he played for BB and knows what to look for in the 3-4 skill wise.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
