He will do better than this forum believes. He will do real well here with the Chargers.
You are lucky you are down in SD, he will be super exciting to watch and you will be getting pretty much all of the Chargers games. From what I heard, the folks down in SD are already super hyped about Gordon starting camp. I got to say the Chargers made a fantastic move in the draft. Thanks to Baalke's typical disastrous drafts, we will have to witness yet another team reaping the rewards from our draft picks.I can't wait until we have a GM who actually knows how to draft.
All my friends are super excited to have him. I watched him a lot in college. I know he will do well. It is not ridiculous to suggest that he is likely a lot better pick than Armstead. I think he probably is as long as he stays healthy. I'm highly suspect of our 1st pick but I hope for the best. No question at all in college at least Gordon was far superior to Armstead at their respective positions.
