2023 NFL Preseason Thread: Chargers Medical Staff Edition

[Weltall]

Tampa looked fucking putrid last season on both sides of the ball. They will finish 3rd at best in that division. Saints should take it.

the boys are back in town

How does one unlawfully carry a weapon in Texas?

Edit : I guess by having it in places where firearms are restricted or if you're being a dumb shit and carrying it around without a holster. Dunno which one he did.

And apparently whatever the controlled substance was is explicitly not marijuana despite what initial reports said

[Tyche]

I don't think I've ever heard Tua get this aggressive with someone. For context or to save a click...

Tua spent summer adding bulk in hopes to reduce injury risk. Apparently added about 8-10lbs of muscle.

Ryan Clark made some comments that Tua ignored his dietician, skipped the gym, and looks like "a girl working at Onyx" (atlanta strip club).

Tua did not appreciate the comments.

"Ryan’s been out of the league for some time. I don’t know. It’s a little weird when other people are talking about other people when they’re not that person. My background, I come from a Samoan family. Respect is everything. It does get to a point where, hey, a little easy on that, buddy. I think we’re pretty tough-minded people, and if we need to get scrappy, we can get scrappy, too. Just saying.

I think we all worked hard throughout the offseason. I’m not someone to talk about myself the entire time, but it tkaes a lot. You think I wanted to build all this muscle? To some extent, I wanted to be a little lighter. There’s a mixture of things that people don’t understand, that people don’t know about that are talked about that go behind the scenes. I’d appreciate it if you kept my name out your mouth. That’s what I’d say.”

ryan clark is starting to become shady mccoy with his silly levels

these ex-players working for the big networks have figured out the game. shit talk everybody

[Krandor]

Same thing with Kendrick Perkins for the NBA. Continually spit out the dumbest takes possible for engagement, nothing else matters

[Tyche]

In this instance, it's just a strange thing to say, as there's no shortage of media stories detailing his off-season workout goals. Yeah, he's bigger. That was the point. I guess he expects him to look like a dehydrated Chris Hemsworth in Thor. Idk.

That’s insane

he barely played qb before he came to the nfl. like 200 snaps, both high school & college, or something
idk why he got so much hype in the draft. big sexy was the pick

[Weltall]

It was the single worst draft pick in the modern (let’s say from Peyton Manning) NFL era. Plenty of high QB picks do not pan out, but given his college competition, time off, total snap count, selection slot, and most especially the cost to get there…he is far and away the worst draft decision.

Regarding Ryan Clark, he is a disservice to the word analyst and a tv broadcast. There is a difference between throwing out a hot take for sake of conversation and just low intelligence / stupidity.

And that still may be a wash. This is a do or die year for him.

That said, if Purdy does pan out, we would have never wound up with him if we didn't draft Trey due to the way compensation picks wound up falling for us.

this is what happens when you aren’t one of a-a-ron’s boys

purdy is mac jones but less talented. yall could have had both

[Xno Kappa]

To be fair, gotta also give credit to the coaching and front office for the niners that this isn’t really that big of a deal. They recognized dude wasn’t it and moved on accordingly.

[Melena]

That might be stretching it, unless you want to full on put Mac's struggles on their lack of an OC, but in 9 games, only 5 of them were starts, so closer to 5.5, Brock had one less TD, 7 less Int's, and only 1600 less yards throwing then Mac.
