I'll say it again.....Keenan Allen

63 Receptions 931 yards and 7 touchdowns, That's better than any WR on our roster. You can say he's played one more game, but you have to remind yourself he didn't play a lot at the beginning of the year.

Ron Rivera attended his pro day, Our WR coach threw to him!!!, He was in our own back yard. How could we miss so badly. He was a steal in the 3rd round. I would have taken him second over KK.

And yes this is very relevant given how much we complain about WRs here. He was right there begging us to take him and we passed. Thank god the answer was on the roster......until they got cut: Gettis and AE. O and Mr. two catch Hixon.

Early morning rant over

To Gettleman, I don't know that it mattered who was sitting there with that 2nd round pick... unless his name was Jerry Rice, he wasn't going to take him over KK. Gettleman loves the trenches and felt that had to be addressed immediately, and reinforce it. So he took two big guys back to back, and look at the difference they have made.

Now, our long neglected interior line is in great shape for years to come, so this draft, if he ignores WR, then you'll have reason to complain.

You really think he would have half those stats in this offense?

Phillip Rivers throws him open with anticipation bc of Allens good route running. Cam still needs work on that part.

He is good. I was one who was put off by his injury and workout.

If anything Kenny Stills was there in the 4th, and yes he was a known product too.

I think KK gets taken over Allen still in a redraft by the Panthers...Stills over Kugbilla? Gotta be Stills.

I think Alshon would have been the better receiver for Cam...o well we all can dream I guess.

our WR are not the problem, in fact they are playing good. the reason our numbers are not high is we are spreading the ball around perfectly. That is why it become hard for the opposing defense to know what is coming. If we had him, here he would have less yard then smith olsen and lafell. those guys are doing a good job. Also our scheme is not the old chud scheme of chucking it downfeild either so with that and the almost even spread of the ball no one has great numbers.  We are getting wins we just dont have the explosive system to highlight them. Now we do need to draft a legit number 1 cause smitty is not as good as he once was. but even in this system dont expect great numbers from any new wr. untill we have the OL to let cam get more time for downfeild attacks we will continue to run the dink and dunk with heavy run game.

I would not swap Star or Short for Keenan Allen. We did not have a third rounder.   His speed was suspect, which is why he dropped on many boards.  He is benefiting from a lack of other receivers.  However, he is a steal for a third rounder.

 

Nothing against him--he is good.  But we made the commitment to solidify our defense.  We did that.  Are you suggesting that we pass on Short?  I think, in a year or 2, Short will be getting 6-8 sacks a year from the DT spot.

 

This year's draft is better at WR.  I expect a WR, CB, or OT to be our first pick.  We will bring in help at WR.  (I am not as certain as most of you that we re-sign Brandon Lafell)

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
