Could've fooled me.

Sure, A.J. could have done more on that pass, but let's stop acting like he dropped it, that's absurd. He was adjusting to an underthrown ball and the defense made a play and A.J. didn't put enough effort in to haul it in. I have no problem knocking A.J. for the effort on the play.

Firstly, the ball was not underthrown. 

Secondly, you really want to go the "have you ever played [insert position here]" game? Have you ever played QB? No, you haven't, so by your own logic, you have no right to critize Dalton.

Thirdly, the defender did knock the ball down true, however, AJ had both hands on the ball and could easily have secured it so it would NOT have been knocked out. That's what I mean by he dropped it. AJ is a great receiver and had 2 hands on the ball. It should NOT have been knocked out of his hands.

Lastly, it sure sounds like you're trying to excuse AJ dropping, er excuse me, not securing the football. At least, in the same manner that people supposedly "defend" Dalton by pointing out the rest of the team's issues in the playoffs.

No one thinks that of me and even if they did, I certainly wouldn't care enough to wonder why. But hey, why deal with facts when you can make things up?

djs Wrote:Also, did I say it's "100% Andy's fault for every turnover"?? No, I didn't. I think it's stupid to say that Gio's fumble caused Andy's 3 turnovers because "omg cause and effect n stuff". That's stupid.

I agree.

I'm not forcing a bunch of unnecessary blame on Andy as much as I was arguing with Brownshoe who was trying to alleviate ALL the blame from his dearly beloved. Andy has made some good decisions and good throws in the past that have resulted in turnovers, the 3 turnovers in the Chargers game don't fall into that category whatsoever. Anyone trying to say he played well in that game is just trolling or far too obsessed with 1 player to have an objective conversation.

Actually, Andy played well in the first half of the Chargers game. 2nd half, not so much. AND while he is responsible for those TOs, they weren't 100% his fault, either. Well, the 2nd INT was, IIRC, cause that was just a bad decision under no pressure.
