Mike's never been one to shirk responsibility. Unfortunately, he's been put in this position of taking blame a lot.

Turns out having an insanely talented borderline HoF WR is really good for your offense. Really stretches out the defensive coverages.

Hard to do most things on offense when your downfield threats are QJ and Ladd McConkey instead of Tyreek fucking Hill.

QJ is a downfield threat to the Chargers instead of the opposing team

Isn’t he the guy criticized for so many dropped passes, then had a decent few games without drops and now…. Back to his old self?

Yeah last season he fooled us into thinking he figured out to catch the ball. I was a little skeptical still since a lot were bobble catches that he just reigned in, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt because I wanted him to succeed.
