Of course they're going to miss VJax. Adding Royal and Meachem helps, but VJax was their #1 WR and they added 2 #2s to try to replace him.

You could say this about any team, but that is a good group... if they stay healthy.

yeah but after VJax they had like abundant number 3 and 4 wrs.

I think the Chargers will add a big WR in the draft somewhere maybe in the 3rd. Brian Quick could fit in that offense

It's not a bad group by any means but saying they won't miss Jackson is a bit much.

VJax was made by Rivers and was always overrated. Floyd can do pretty much everything VJax did, provided he can stay healthy.

VJax produced stats but he also made at least one boneheaded play a game. Stopping his route or a ridiculous drop.

With this group, Rivers doesn't have an egomaniac to keep interested and actually has a who can behind the secondary with speed...

Yeah, I know some of them were traded, at least at some point in their career. I think the point is more about players changing teams, though. Even trading is kind of a similar situation, it's just less to do with the the player's own preferences.

They didn't miss him when Jackson held out and like 2-3 of their WR's were injured and Gates was hurt.

Brandon Marshall was successful in Miami, no? And yes that was a trade also.

Thing is, Gates is on the decline. He seems nagged by injuries. Royal has been invisible since his rookie year. Meachum is a solid #2, as is Floyd.

Maybe they could be in play to make a move for Michael Floyd or Justin Blackmon in the draft.

They didn't miss him? When was the last time the Chargers were in the playoffs?

Not last year and I am 100% sure Vincent Jackson was on last years chargers team.

LeCharles Bentley loves the Grubbs signing

Yeah/ Phillip Rivers picked last year to have his absolute worst NFL season as well. How does that reflect on Jackson?

They don't miss him when he's out because Floyd can do everything he does.

And Meachem adds a whole new dimension in terms of cutting the ass off the secondary.

With Royal and a promising youngster like Brown.

I'd rather have this group minus VJax than VJax and Floyd - who are mirror images of each other.

I love The Meech but the only new dimension he adds is "run as fast as you can downfield in a straight line and catch it"

It's a solid group, but what impresses me about VJAX is remembering his play against Darrel Revis in the Divisional Round of the Playoffs. I believe he had 8 catches for over a 100 yards that game against Revis Island. To me, that's a true elite WR. I wouldn't be happy to lose 1 of those.

Okay then 2 years ago when Jackson held out for 10 game or w/e they didn't miss him. They didn't make the playoffs because of their special teams who cost them a couple games.

That would be nice.

Meachem just can't catch with his hands, which aggravates the hell out of me. Always uses is damn arms to catch a ball, which led to tons of drops.

Jackson 7catches 111 yds 15.9 avg. vs Revis.

Not many WRs do very well against Revis. I'm sorry, but it just seems like some charger fans are just making themselves feel better about losing there #1 weapon.

And I bet Phillip Rivers isn't too thrilled about it either.

Saints won't pay him his 9 million a year demands, that's why the Bucs did not sign him. Apparently, they still have an offer on the table.

I don't understand. Tulloch and Lofton are both looking for contracts in the 9 million per year range? It wouldn't make sense for the Saints to meet those demands and not Carl Nicks.

Yea, that's way too much for a LB not close to the elite category. Nevermind.

Yeah. I think you'll eventually see Tulloch and Lofton come back down to earth. Apparently Tampa offered him a contract in the 6 million a year range and he balked at that offer.

According to La Canfora, it's still on the table and we're monitoring the market, but won't overpay for there value.

Didn't they Revis on Gates?
