Are you just trying to argue or do you have a point you want to make?

It was the first thing I posted on this subject...

Tyrod didn’t have Keenan Allen, Hunter Henry, Mike Williams in Buffalo. And that is assuming Tyrod is QB all year.
Someone asked why Eckler isn’t ranked higher and a reply was captain check-down (rivers) is gone. I agree with that statement. It appears you did not by citing a bunch of Tyrod’s stats in Buffalo...I feel Eckler losing Rivers at QB is a negative effect on his 2020 performance

I said he checked down nearly 10% of the time, which was top 10 for QBs.
You cited having Allen, Williams, and Henry as being an enemy of the checkdown, yet Rivers was king checkdown
Idk man. Chargers have averaged nearly 600 pass attempts a year over the past five seasons. Let’s just say they throw 500 times. How do the targets breakdown?

I don’t see AE having 90+ catches next season with Rivers gone. Even if Tyrod tucks and runs only once per game instead of dumping it off to AE, that an additional 17 catches he has to make up. And that’s assuming they don’t turn to Herbert and nobody knows how to predict that.
AE might make up some points in run game bc Gordon is gone so his over output could be flat - depending on your scoring.
And that is all assuming he plays a full season again despite more runs between the tackles. He isn’t a big guy.

The Rookie QB steps in week 8 if not sooner.

Their offense will be bad which will limit his opportunities for points. There is also a belief that they will mix in another back since Ekeler is a smaller back and not built for continuous between the tackles running

31% of his passes in college were screen passes and 50% of his throws were between 5 yards and the LOS.

Seems like Ekeler will eat if he plays. In the pass game anyway. I'm wondering how much run Jackson/Kelley steal from Ekeler though. Jackson seemed pretty efficient last season even though its a small sample size. Ekeler only had 132 carries last season and nearly double the receiving yards as he did rushing yards.

Ekeler only played 56% of the offensive snaps. His rushing and TD output will likely increase, targets decrease
And he’s jacked

Yea I mean I get people questioning whether or not he can handle a full workload based solely on fact of him having never handled a full workload. What I don't get are the ones questioning it due to his "small stature." I mean this obviously isn't Tarik Cohen or Sproles. Dude is built like a fricking tank.
