Adalius Thomas and Vince Wilfork.

Wilfork is not even close to Williams and likely never will be. IMO, only Ted Washington comes close to him.

I like Thomas. Better than Merriman? Nah, at least not from a talent level.

Wilfork is not even close to Williams? You need to understand the type of 3-4 the Chargers employ is different than NE's, and they have slightly different roles.

What about Merriroid?

Dear lord! I've been away too long. We have as many (or more!) homerific posters than other teams!

SD is loaded with pro-bowlers. Whats that mean? Not much when it comes to winning big games, but please! LT is a class act and had a right to go ballistic on our guys. Yes, he went overboard, but so did our guys, BECAUSE THEY DID NOT EXPECT TO WIN THAT GAME!

Did they react that way at any point this side of SB36? No! They were underdogs for a reason in both games.

I did not read all their posts, but the ones I did read were polite and factual. The responses? Not so much. Grow up.

WHo gives a crap? Williams would eat vince for lunch..literally!

I'd bet money that Wilfork would admit he isn't the player williams is.

Merriman? Don't like the dude, but he is talented. I'll give the edge to Thomas because of his versatility, but Merriman could be as versatile, but is so good at what he does, it doesn't come into play in the chargers scheme?

JMHO

It was off topic, I know. I read this thread, but none of specifics really mattered.

For you:
I'm looking forward to seeing Welker burn it up this year! Ya got yerselves and little Eric Parker. Wooohoo! (Welker was drafted by the Chargers and got him stolen from Miami when they tried slipping him to a practice squad though waivers. He's a heck of a return man, but it remains to be seen if he can become the 3rd receiver...)

I think his 67 catches last year said he could be the third WR...?

 

[sebman2112]

Hi All

Just here to keep it real. Yes, we released Rodney. Junior too. Oh, and Reche and Welker and... anyone else? Britt?

first they didn't release Reche, he was a free agent who they didn't resign. Second, from what I understand the Dolphins signed Welker off the Chargers practice squad.

 

[sebman2112]

I just got a response from Kiszla via e-mail. The Chargers fan MADE IT UP.

Pretty pathetic. Seriously, how pathetic does your life have to be for you to make up a quote like that? Whomever that moron is he should be banned from that board, and possibly more.

 

[sebman2112]

Win something and then you earn respect. San Diego is absolutely nothing and will remain so. Merriman was a ****y in Maryland and he is in San Diego. You guys finish behind Denver in the AFCW this year anyhow.

Yup, it seems like people forget Merriroid was blood doping while at Maryland....

 

[sebman2112]

LT will get a torn ACL and never be the same.

Goodnight.

That's not cool, at all!

Williams are pretty close in my opinion, and as I said NE uses Wilfork differently. Have you seen how big Wilfork is lately? Wilfork could probably eat Williams just s easily, lol!



He's so good at what he does, while on roids Oh, and how good was Merriroid against NE in the playoffs? He did jack, and that was going up against Matt Light!

This one's for LT:

But for the record? We'll whoop you in week 2 too. Write it down. Hell, consider it your super bowl.

PFnV

However week 2 shakes out, trust me we're not looking at it like it's our SB. No, like I said. We're just hoping we have to go through NE to get there. That would be ideal.

 

[BoltsFan]

first they didn't release Reche, he was a free agent who they didn't resign. Second, from what I understand the Dolphins signed Welker off the Chargers practice squad.

Now we're quibbling. The point is we didn't feel like any of those guys were good enough to retain.

 

[BoltsFan]

So let me get this straight: Beating you on the field isn't enough, and essentially, no one player is enough, and by the way, no six or eight players improvement, at least 3 of them hefty upgrades, will be enough. It's about the "team", but the most remarked on team ethic in the league, NE's, won't "be enough," and if it's about coaching, the guaranteed HOF coach at NE isn't enough. No, it's all about the team, something NE doesn't understand "enough"?

When measured against the self-perpetuating delusion of Chargers' fans, at least.

Hey, lots of "ifs" and "hopes." Yeah, you want to be where we've been. Good luck.

Since no one receiver is ever enough, it's a good thing you guys never bothered getting one.

Since no one QB isn't enough, it's a good thing you don't have to bother with Tom Brady there, since Philip Rivers is just as significant.

You got some talent there, fella, but, well, to coin a phrase, not enough. And best of luck with Norv.

PFnV

Ya see, this is the point I'm here to emphasize. You DID NOT beat us. You won the game. But you were pretty damn far from beating us on the field. You can look at it anyway you want. Again, what we see is that we OWNED both lines of scrimmage last game. That tends to matter in any game you play. I hope NE and it's fans continue to overlook that little fact in the future.

 

[Double G]

And I thought Jets fans were dense. The Patriots won the game, but they DID NOT BEAT the Chargers. Wow, what color is the sky in your world. Keep thinking the way you are if it helps you sleep at night................

you've got to be kidding me lol.be careful your entering aqua4ever territory

The team that controls the line of scrimmage controls the game. Think about it. Are you here to assert that NE was in control of the game?

im here to assert the patriots won the game thats all that matters lol .the pats sent you and the chargers home crying lol .its about winning not how many pro bowl players you have the patriots have been making a habbit of beating teams that are supposed to have more talent since 2001.havent you been watching ?if you have you should have learned something by now.

So because Reche signed elsewhere, and Welker was stolen off the practice squad it means the Chargers didn't care about retaining them? So, I guess that means every free agent who's left the chargers wasn't wanted by the team, and every player signed off their practice squad wasn't wanted by the team?

Some of you Charger fans make me laugh when you say things like "We let Reche go" or "The Chargers cut Reche" since the Chargers didn't do either, he was simply at the end of his contract, and signed with NE as a free agent....learn the difference. Oh, and if you remember at the time Marty said they would like him back on the team, so your a little off in thinking the Chargers didn't want Reche anymore.

Hmm... If someone is on your practice squad they're not good enough to be on the team. What's so hard to understand about that?

It wasn't as if we were offering Reche a deal. When you don't offer an FA a deal that invariably means you're not interested in said FA. If we wanted to retain Ricochet he'd still be with us. Period. End of story. I remember exactly what went down. Marty was our coach. He doesn't make personnel decisions. Like I'm saying, ricochet wasn't high on our list. We do go after the people we want to retain. Ricochet wasn't one of them.
