I mean the #2 pick, kicked ass in college, and now he sucks so bad its amazing. The first yr or two, okay its understandable. but seriously its been a long time for him to mature now, why isn't he helping da chargers?!!!! GRRRR.

Well, he used to be a completely idiotic jerk. Seems like he's calmed down a little, but the fact that the Chargers offense is crummy overall isn't helping him any.

He pretty much lost a year or two to utter immaturity, it's almost like he's a "rookie" right now.

i remember reading the draft summaries and i THINK it was ryan leaf when they said at the college he went to, the way their offense was set up, it racks up the stats, but it wasn't how the NFL worked...and i remember reading the junior seau doesn't like him...haha

He fell victim to the "top pick" syndrome. I mean, here's the golden boy, everyone's hero, struts into the NFL all high and mighty, God's gift...the best in his class. However, superhero QB never once considered that there are hundreds of people in the NFL that are bigger, stronger, faster, and more experienced than he. Yeah, he kicked a$$ in college, but the NFL demands more, and he isn't capable of giving it.

It's not all his fault. The Chargers have no offensive line and no skill players. Even if he was a great quarterback he would still suck on a team like the Chargers. If the Chargers give him some players to work with he would be a better than average quarterback.
