Official Post Game Thread- Pats beat the Chargers

[Lagaffe_07]

Start Stidham on Thursday and I easily see the Pats losing by a similar score as they won today

That’s completely BS because the gameplan would be similar to Cam. They would still run the ball. They would not suddenly throw the ball 45 times. The QB is pretty much a non factor on this team this year.

Stidham will be on the roster next year and if he is not who cares. I just hope your soulmate Cam isn’t because he can’t play

I don’t follow.

Stid would get the tar beaten out of him by that pass rush. It would be ugly. Like almost all 4th round pick QBs he would be easily rattled.

I’ll take 60 (3 td’s) and a win over 360 in a L

Will say this about Cam, we are something like 17/19 on 3rd and 1's this year He makes us alot better there and should in the red zone if Josh continues letting him use his legs. So at least there's that. I wish he'd show a little more accuracy and poise as a thrower, but he is what he is, gotta make use of him however we can.

Cam has proved this year that he can’t handle the pass rush either so I don’t really see the difference

I do. Cam can beat a team like the Rams. He has won in this league this year and Stid hasn’t.

The thing is you can clearly see that they don’t want him to throw more than 20 passes a game and they are not comfortable with throwing on 3rd and long. They have maximized what we can do with do with him. I don’t think it can get much better than that.

Okay.

That’s what I said, soulmate. Love is blind.

Cam cannot beat the Rams, the team can.

Was most pleased to see the pressure on Herbert. Was really liking what I saw from Josh Uche. He looked promising out there.

Stidham is not an NFL caliber starting QB. Seems like Bill agrees with that.

Cam isn’t anymore

 

[sb1]

Cam isn’t anymore

He’s still better than Stidham and it seems Bill agrees with that. Otherwise a switch would have been made already.

This performance reminded me how much I miss low stress games.

I tend to agree. Though I think they still have that interest in Stidham. He’s looked like crap in practice and the games but we haven’t seen him play a full game. The sample size remains small and they clearly came out and had him throwing. Looked fine but it was Michel & Gunner who made the plays more so than him.

It was pleasantly boring.

 

[upstater1]

He can’t throw anymore.
but he brings more than just throwing I guess. Why teams don’t stack the box for the run and force him to throw more is beyond me. I think better coaches will

Haha. You noticed that? Yes, I saw that. And on offense, the Chargers had the bright idea to try to throw long against our DBs. They didn't seem to notice that we lack speed up front and we get torn to ribbons both stopping the run and short passes.

But hey, if you want to dare us to run and you insist on throwing at Gilmore and JC, be my guest!

 

[jah]

45-0 road win and we're just arguing about whether we should bench the QB. I just want to feel good for what will probably be the only opportunity all season.

Harris>Michel

The difference is night and day. Harris has great initial burst, cutting ability, gets skinny and is physical.

Michel looks a step too slow but will be a fine backup though.

Sure, but if you think that's going to cut it in the playoffs, ive got a great bridge to sell you

 

[Pats2000]

If the Pats can get someone like Alex Smith, Garrapolo, or Brissett to man the helm for a couple of years until a youngster is ready, I'd be happy with that

I'm on the fence about that. I want a team that can stand in the way of the Chiefs fir the next few years
