I know. I know.

He's 0-2 as a starter and his first halves have been significantly better than his 2nd half performances..

But I never thought he'd ever play as well as he did in the first quarter Sunday..

No turnovers//No fumbles... I just felt good about it...

When we start looking ahead to next season, we dont have any needs at the QB position...

We have our backup QB..

I think I would hold off on that thought until we play a team that is a good team. Painter did well today but it was against the Chiefs. Wait and see what happens against the the Pats, Falcons and the Ravens and such. rotfl

Hopefully. he wont play against the Ravens...

..but I think Curtis has proven he's not a waste of space..as many said...The backup QB doesnt have to be great..

Just good enough to win...if the team plays well..which we didnt today

I have to give Painter some props. He has played better than I thought he would be playing. Granted it hasn't been against the best of teams, but to still play the way he has after the treatment and what people have said about him, has made me give him some props.

I think Painter is playing a lot better than most thought he would and that is great. I never thought he was a waste of space because we need a back up QB. I don't have the hope that Peyton will be playing in December but who knows. It will be the doctors decision. Peyton won't play until he's cleared no matter what.

We needed to finish this game today and we didn't. The last I knew a football game is 60 minutes not 30 minutes. If we can get another good 30 minutes to go with the first 30 we will get a win.

Gator ...Collins is here NOW for when Painter gets knocked out..

..which ...with our line in the shape its in...could happen at any time..

I am saying that to me there should be no QB controversy this week on who should and will play, to me Painter needs to start and put an end to who will start. I actually thought our O-line played decent today with all the backups that were playing.

Agree 100% Painter should have the starting QB position unless he gets hurt. I can't imagine what he goes through every week wondering if he's starting and not knowing until Friday. It sounded on the pregame show that someone there was told that Painter would be our starter from now on if I heard it right. Maybe someone else heard that and can clarify that for sure.

      Can you expend on this, why do you think that?

      No, but I would love that! Is that true? Where did you hear that? I don't think that will happen. I heard that trading Herbert would result in a huge dead cap hit for the Chargers, that would make it nearly impossible to keep or sign other players.
