“27.5% of Philip Rivers’ pass attempts went to RBs last season. Austin Ekeler averaging eye-opening .12 catches per snap in career. https://t.co/33dBNatDDK”

Rivers once played an entire playoff game with a torn acl. And that was in his 20s and risked a career ending type injury. People who are in it for the money dont do that.

Don't get me wrong, is it the smartest long term move to sign a 26 year old RB to a ~4 year deal? History says most likely not. But does letting him walk stifle their chances at a superbowl this season? Absolutely. The Chargers brass are terrible though so who knows

@TheBigCheese839 that was the same game LDT sat out with like turf toe and kept his helmet on the entire time. Rivers bout beat the Pats on one leg.

Hunter Henry stock elite

Is a .12 catch equivalent to the ball hitting just one of his fingers?

Ekeler standalone value 👌

Ekeler or jackson

Even if MG3 is there

Chargers are stupid not to pay him

Go try to win now. Oline much improved defense much improved over last couple seasons

Ekeler is a 5'6 pipsqueek. Started balding at 19, he doesn't have a chance in hell at leading the backfield.

Agreed ^ Justin Jackson would

Balding at 19 def the reason why he can't lead a backfield

I will just say go Browns!!!!!

@Jlee1985 .12

Ohhh lol that makes waaaay more sense

I'm pretty sure the notification didn't have the decimal, which is why I'm also here

Pretty sure it was Ekeler's follicle score at the combine that made him slip to the Chargers

@TheBigCheese839 lol no one said he was going to be a “workhorse” RB. Solid info tho

You guys are so right and smart. Because Christian McCaffrey isn’t a bell cow....
