Quarterback is absolutely the most essential position in football. Good groups are made muchbetter with an elite QB at the helm, while bad groups can typically be dragged to relative success with the right skill under .
Let’s appearance at the signal callers the Chargers defense is set to face in 2022, ranked from least to most threatening.
14. Seahawks: Geno Smith/Drew Lock
Seattle dealswith a training camp fight after trading longtime star Russell Wilson to Denver (more on him lateron), however neither alternative is especially frightening from a protective viewpoint. In my viewpoint, previous Chargers backup Smith is more mostlikely to win the task, however he’s a understood amount at this point. At 31 years old, Smith will keep the ship stable however won’t win you any videogames you weren’t currently going to win. On the other hand, Lock theoretically has the skill to win videogames, however he’s neverever rather put whatever together. There’s a factor Denver was ready to relocation on from him this offseason. However, he is 3-2 versus the Chargers as a starter.
13. Browns: Jacoby Brissett
I’m operating as if Deshaun Watson will be suspended for the Week 5 contest versus the Browns since, honestly, he needto be. If he plays a single down this season, it’s an indictment of how the NFL puts cash over morality, plain and easy. With Watson grounded, the Chargers will be dealingwith veteran Brissett rather. It’s much the verysame story as Geno Smith: strong gamer, has hung around the league for great factor, is not going to be the primary factor you win a videogame. I’d be much more concerned about stopping the hurrying attack of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt in this one.
12. Falcons: Marcus Mariota
The previous No. 2 total choice, Mariota resurfaces as a starter after 2 seasons as Derek Carr’s backup in Las Vegas. It’s possible that novice third-rounder Desmond Ridder might be beginning by the time Atlanta satisfies up with the Chargers in Week 9, however the connection inbetween Mariota and head coach Arthur Smith from their time in Tennessee makes me believe they’ll offer him a bit of a longer leash. Mariota will be familiar with the Chargers’ defense from his time as a Raider, where he did get into the videogame on event as a device gamer. Still, puton’t anticipate him to be torching the Bolts’ defense.
11. 49ers: Trey Lance/Jimmy Garoppolo
Jimmy G hasactually been the subject of trade reports from the 2nd the 49ers’ season ended, however he stays on their lineup as of today. It appears notlikely that will stay real come Week 10, however completestranger things have tookplace in the NFL. If Garoppolo is the starter, anticipate the Chargers linebackers to flex their protection muscles while he checks down to the RB and TE for most of the videogame. Lance, San Francisco’s mostlikely 2022 starter, is much more of an X-factor. He hardly played as a novice or in 2020 since of the cancellation of the FCS fall season, which indicates the bulk of information on him comes from videogames played practically 3 seasons ago versus small-school competitors. Yet, his skill is indisputable, and his running capability offers Kyle Shanahan yet another method to get imaginative offensively.
10. Texans: Davis Mills
Mills takendown the Chargers a season ago to the tune of 254 lawns and 2 TDs in a surprise 41-29 loss to a moribund Texans group. His veryfirst half was specifically deadly, as he went 11 of 13 for 131 backyards and both TDs. So what offers? Why is Mills this low? Well, for beginners, the Chargers play a lot of reputable veterans this season, so there’s not much space for enhancement here. Also, thinkabout that Derwin James, Joey Bosa, Michael Davis, and Justin Jones all missedouton the Texans videogame since of COVID-19 or injury. Los Angeles began Davontae Harris at corner
