#Chargers Joey Bosa - Lean towards missing Wk 4. Re-aggravation often worse than initial injury

This is a good football team , not great, with a great QB. Its that simple. If Alex Smith , in his prime, is starting with this roster this team is maybe a wild card team. The current roster, due to salary cap and draft position, is average at best. The current offense may actually be worse than last years due to injury. [Reply]

Yet we just don't seem to as often.
I think Mahomes is thinking too much. He is very cerebral in his approach on each play. Its one of the things that makes him GREAT. Yet he is playing a little to careful. I hope to see more gunslinger. [Reply]

I'd say Reid's conservative approach has a lot more to do with the close scores than the talent.
At full strength, this is a pretty elite roster (assuming Kelce still has something left). Still above average with these injuries.
How many rosters are better than this at full strength? [Reply]

Still too early for that, Nabers looks even better than Alt. And if the Chargers don't pay Slater and let him walk, I don't think the logic of the pick makes sense. [Reply]

That's always been the issue with the Alt pick.
Not that he isn't going to be a damn good player - he will be. A probable All-Pro.
But Nabers was a better pick there.
When they picked Alt I breathed a sigh of relief because I really didn't want to deal with Nabers in this division for a decade. That kid is going to be spectacular. [Reply]

Well nobody is at full strenght. I think the NFL is very competitive. The Cap works. So to answer your question... there are no elite teams. Just a few Elite Qbs. To me teams are average and the best teams have a couple of elite players. KC has Mahomes and Jones. Dont really see any other elite guys on KC. [Reply]

They should have picked BOWERS. He is the next Kelce. [Reply]

They have three elite offensive linemen. Rice is elite. McDuffie's elite. Kelce is still probably among the best TEs despite a slow start. And a few others are borderline elite. [Reply]
