It's easy, and only takes a few moments.At least they're not facing too many tough pass defenses but that sounds about right. They do have a good running game and that will help just like it did Brady in 2001. I'll take that over what we saw last year and he'll be even better in 2022.Fa
Fans need to understand Mac will screw up. He will make mistakes.
TBH my expectations for Mac as a rookie are fairly low.

Explain to us all the extensive experience Brady got sitting on the bench for one year.No rookie QB has ever won a Super Bowl year 1.
Ben, Flacco and Sanchez made it the AFCC. How many NFL rookie quarterbacks have won the Super Bowl?
Perhaps the Jets "Ground and Pound" offense with a stingy defense is the way this Pats season goes.
That would be fine, but cumulative stats don’t really tell the story, situational okay is much more important.Fa

My bad, you're right. I was thinking of another stat about rookie QBs, maybe starters on opening day?Russell Wilson, Joe Flacco, Mark Sanchez, Ben Roethlisberger have all won playoff games as rookies within the last 20 years.
Lol didn't think it was possible, but I think he even hated Cam more than I did Roberts.Cam was their Elandon.
You said no rookie and had won a playoff game in 20 years. That’s not true.
Yeah as I mentioned above I got that mixed up with opening day start.You said no rookie and had won a playoff game in 20 years. That’s not true.
Agreed but to me unless Mac is an all out disaster then at least we are building towards something. Cam would have kept us in a holding pattern. He is clearly on the backside of his career and we would be treading water keeping him in as the starter. No progression, no rebuild, just a guy who Bill Parcells would label a "progress stopper".Charger fans are used to their team not really doing ****, though. The bar is set much higher here. lol.
I don't understand how Chargers are favorites on the road in DC. Chargers never deliver.Agreed but to me unless Mac is an all out disaster then at least we are building towards something.

Yes I do. I think that charger fans watching 7 losses in Herbert first 8 games and 9 in his first 11 were not happy at all to lose with pretty stats.If Mac shows promise and we still have a losing season then I would still be happy. You think that Chargers fans were broken hearted having a crappy season but seeing what Justin Herbert did?
Jones is playing this year to win this year.Agreed but to me unless Mac is an all out disaster then at least we are building towards something. Cam would have kept us in a holding pattern.

There are other players on the team who didnt get vaccinated either.
If the offense can put up 26-30 consistently compared to last year and the back end of of 2019 i'd be elated.That would be fine, but cumulative stats don’t really tell the story, situational okay is much more important.
The number I am interested in is points scored. I’d put the over/under at 450.
And made us all really frustrated at having to see how terrible a guy can really play the position if he tried. Thankfully that's over.Agreed but to me unless Mac is an all out disaster then at least we are building towards something. Cam would have kept us in a holding pattern.

Offense should be really good...we need to get this Dolphins game because Saints and Bucs will be tough. We don't want to potentially start 1-3.If the offense can put up 26-30 consistently compared to last year and the back end of of 2019 i'd be elated.
450 is about the line of top 10. I think that’s a fair and reasonable goal.If the offense can put up 26-30 consistently compared to last year and the back end of of 2019 i'd be elated.
Yes Andy, I am sure Chargers fans were furious they found a franchise QB.Yes I do. I think that charger fans watching 7 losses in Herbert first 8 games and 9 in his first 11 were not happy at all to lose with pretty stats.
