Anybody saying Donald Brown only ran hard last year due to contract year is full of s---! He is still a hard running explosive back, and again nowhere to run. Good stiff arm and changing ball from one side to the other. Would love to see him run behind a decent run blocking line. The Chargers aint it

One thing he sure is still, is injury prone.

Still he's looked like his usual self this season. Not sure what would be surprising.

I'm not sure if the Jets aren't becoming my new favourite for the #1 pick next year... I can see the Jags improving to win a game or 4. The Jets seem to be in a terminal dive. 

 

The only saving grace might be the Raiders. 

Gotta toss the Pats in there to 1 play away from loosing the Raiders they are so bad .

It's all they got and they are paying him $5 mil. lol.

Pretty sure they paid Sanchez even more than that.

 

Oh Jets. You so silly.

 

 

Also Vick is not worse than Geno. I'll take an injury prone hasbeen over a never will be. Smith never deserved a starting QB job in the NFL. He is atrocious.

I was watching behind time so couldn't come in on the thread - painful win in the  number of guys hurt today.  Geesh... really, our 4th center in 5 games.  We started the game with twice the number of guys injured than the Jets and our bye week isn't until Nov 9.  I about had a coronary when Rivers came out to keep playing after losing center #3, then they pulled him out to get a standing O.  

 

Really pleased with our defenses play and heck, the whole team.

They do have a lot of injuries but they play at Oakland next..

...and you might call that easy

So many injured backs and linemen and still.. 31-0

Yeah, but if there's any team we could lose to, Oakland might be it - the old divisional rivalry.  But so far this year, we have played to a high level no matter the opponent (we've had a history of playing down to the competition and losing games we should have won).

Chargers just act like they expect to win..they have that attitude...I know they're crippled up on offense..

...but Rivers is just so confident....you do not get that feeling when you watch Alex and KC

Injury prone? Is it his fault he was nearly "clothes lined" and head removed from his body? He was coming on strong up to that play.

So Austin Collie isn't injury prone, despite the fact that it wasn't his fault he kept getting hit in the head?

Brown hasn't proven in his career that he can be an every down back. This isn't his first injury. Not sure why you're acting so incredulous.

Coming on strong really? 2.9 yards a carry gets Trent berated on the regular around here. 13 of his 26 yards coming off one carry. Not exactly setting the world on fire.

True but no fumbles and he picks up the blitz...ask the SD folks

I will take a contribution like Bradshaws, and a fumble. Compared to what Brown is doing for the Chargers any day.

Ask.....any folks.

It's weird though. I haven't seen you posting how good of a game Trent had because he picked up the blitz and no fumbles.....

Really wouldn't matter who you are with Collie`s injuries, those were vicious shots he took. Very unfortunate.  Did you watch the game?  I cant argue he`s ever proven to be an every down back, nor against being his first injury. So like when he was with the Colts lets erase the big run and evaluate him with what`s left over to prove your point? The picture being painted on the Colts portion of the forum was that Donald Brown only ran hard and had success last year because it was a "contract year", that I disagree with. This was the first game I got to see him play in this year.He still looked fast and ran hard, not somebody "just going through the motions" and in it just for the money. That is all.

    • I’m getting ready also I switched from 12 ounce beers to 16 ounces Lol 
    • Biggest takeaway from episode 3 -- the reason they left in the middle of the night was that the city of Baltimore was about to vote to force the Colts to stay through Eminent Domain.
    • Let us not forget that there are also other ways of acquiring Pro Bowl and All Pro players besides drafting them.   2018 - Pro Bowl TE Eric Ebron (free agent 2018) 2020 - All Pro DT DeForest Buckner (trade 2020); All Pro ST George Odom (UDFA 2018) 2021 - Pro Bowl DB Kenny Moore (free agent 2017); 2nd team All Pro ST Ashton Dulin (UDFA 2019) 2023 - Pro Bowl DT DeForest Buckner (again); Pro Bowl QB replacement Gardner Minshew (trade 2023)
    • Don’t know if it really says a lot about anything? I mean he’s neck and neck with Veach who’s won 3 Super Bowls in 7 seasons. Also, I’m not sure Veach should be credited with Mahomes - it was Dorsey who drafted him.    I do think a lack of star power has been a trademark of the Ballard era though. 
    • I ran across this analysis on Reddit showing Ballard having the second-lowest rate per year of drafting Pro Bowl players among NFL GMs with a tenure of at least five years. I was kind of surprised by it, but it fits the narrative of him putting together a solid team, but one that's mostly lacking in superstars. I hope this improves with the results of our promising 2023 and 2024 drafts.      The GMs Chris Ballard, Colts (7 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Quenton Nelson, Shaq Leonard, Jonathan Taylor (3) All-Pros per season: 0.4   Eric DeCosta, Ravens (5 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Justin Madubuike, Patrick Queen, Devin Duvernay, Kyle Hamilton (4) All-Pros per season: 0.8   Jon Robinson, Former Titans (7 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Jack Conklin, Derrick Henry, Kevin Byard, Jeffery Simmons, AJ Brown (5) All-Pros per season: 0.7   Brian Gutenkunst, Packers (7 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Jaire Alexander (1) All-Pros per season: 0.1   Brett Veach, Chiefs (7 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Patrick Mahomes (thank you u/darcys_beard), Mecole Hardman, Creed Humphrey, Trent McDuffie (3) All-Pros per season: 0.4   Brandon Beane, Bills (7 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Tre White, Matt Milano, Josh Allen, Wyatt Teller, Taron Johnson (5) All-Pros per season: 0.7   Jon Lynch, 49ers (7 seasons) All-Pros drafted: George Kittle, Fred Warner, Nick Bosa, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, Talanoa Hufanga (6) All-Pros per season: 0.9   Chris Grier, Dolphins (8 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Xavien Howard, Jakeem Grant, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Jason Sanders (4) All-Pros per season: 0.5   Jason Licht, Buccaneers (10 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Devin White, Tristan Wirfs, Antoine Winfield Jr (5) All-Pros per season: 0.5   Les Snead, Rams (12 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Janoris Jenkins, Greg Zuerlein, Alec Ogletree, Aaron Donald, Todd Gurley, Pharoh Cooper, Cooper Kupp, Kyren Williams, Puka Nacua (9) All-Pros per season: 0.8   Howie Roseman, Eagles (14 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Brandon Graham, Jason Kelce, Fletcher Cox, Lane Johnson, Jordan Poyer, Carson Wentz, Jalen Hurts (7) All-Pros per season: 0.5   John Schneider, Seahawks (14 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Richard Sherman, Bobby Wagner, Russell Wilson, Tyler Lockett, Michael Dickson, DK Metcalf (8) All-Pros per season: 0.6   Stephen Jones, Cowboys de facto (14 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Sean Lee, Dez Bryant, Tyron Smith, DeMarco Murray, Travis Frederick, Zack Martin, DeMarcus Lawrence, Byron Jones, Ezekiel Elliott, Dak Prescott, Leighton Vander Esch, Cee Dee Lamb, Trevon Diggs, Micah Parsons, DaRon Bland, Tyler Smith (16) All-Pros per season: 1.1   Kevin Colbert, Former Steelers (22 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Antwaan Randle-El, Troy Polamalu, Lawrence Timmons, LaMarr Woodley, Maurkice Pouncey, Antonio Brown, Cam Heyward, David DeCastro, Le'Veon Bell, TJ Watt, Diontae Johnson (11) All-Pros per season: 0.5   Mickey Loomis, Saints (22 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Jamaal Brown, Reggie Bush, Jahri Evans, Carl Nicks, Malcolm Jenkins, Thomas Morstead, Jimmy Graham, Cam Jordan, Terron Armstead, Michael Thomas, Alvin Kamara, Ryan Ramczyk, Trey Hendrickson (13) All-Pros per season: 0.6   Bill Belichick, Former Patriots (24 seasons) All-Pros drafted: Tom Brady, Richard Seymour, Asante Samuel, Dan Koppen, Vince Wilfork, Logan Mankins, Stephen Gostkowski, Matt Light, Jerod Mayo, Matthew Slater, Sebastian Vollmer, Devin McCourty, Rob Gronkowski, Marcus Cannon, Chandler Jones, Dont'a Hightower, Jamie Collins, Nate Ebner, Joe Thuney, Jake Bailey, Marcus Jones (21) All-Pros per season: 0.9
