After giving a tearful interview following their loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17, it seems that free-agent to be, Phillip Rivers has played his last game, if not forever, then in a Chargers uniform. Many rumors, mainly by NBC´s Chris Collinsworth, have swirled that restricted free agent, Tom Brady (yes that one) would come to finish the last few years of his career as a bridge quarterback to the next signal-caller for the Chargers. If that´s the case, then the Chargers want to show Brady off while they have him, then there are some things they need to do in order to make this dream into a reality.

Drat or Sign Offensive Line Help

Tom Brady may have found the fountain of youth, the man is about to be 43 and is still playing at an elite level, but his legs were never on that same level. This year in New England, it was clear that a lackluster offensive line, along with other things, was a main factor in the Patriots struggles in 2019, which culminated in a Wild Card round loss to the Tennessee Titans. According to pro-football focus, the Los Angeles Chargers had the 29th ranked offensive line in the NFL, it is clear that Tom Brady won't be an effective quarterback if he doesn't have an effective offensive line supporting him. This season, Brady spent as much time on the turf as he did in the pocket, and if the Chargers sign Brady, they can´t have their most valuable asset lying on the ground, when he is one hit away from never taking another snap again.

If the Chargers want to look in the free-agent market, George Fant (Seattle) and Jack Conklin (Tennessee) are two young o-linemen who could anchor the offensive line around Brady. Melvin Ingram is a good pass-blocking running back, but with some notable free agents this season, it would be a good option for the Chargers to sign some o-line help, as well as, draft some offensive linemen to develop during training camp. Jedrick Lewis (Alabama) and Andrew Thomas (Georgia) are some of the top offensive linemen in this upcoming draft, and while all teams could help build their o-line, there´s a high chance when the Chargers draft, there will be one of the players available.

Sign or Draft A #1 Wide Receiver

This decision is solely based on what the Chargers do in the offseason, if they look for free agent o-line help, then draft a receiver, and vice-versa. Kennan Allen is good, really good, but is he a true number 1 receiver, the Patriots tried making Julian Edelman into a #1 receiver, and that was a horrible move. In the 2020 draft class, there are 2 true #1 prospects, Jerry Jeudy (Alabama) and CeeDee Lamb (Oklahoma). According to Todd McShay on the Rich Eisen Show, Jeudy is the best route runner that he has ever seen, and with Brady being one of, if not the best, quarterbacks when it comes to timing routes, then this combination would be one that could leave many defensive coordinators questioning their life choices.

In the free-agent market, the two most notable receivers are AJ Green, who has shown interest in playing with Brady, and Amari Cooper who is one of the top receivers in the NFL, and can change the outlook of any team, just ask the Dallas Cowboys. No question Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback in NFL history, but he will need help, he would have a tier two running back, Melvin Gordon, and then have an elite #2 receiver (Allen) and a dynamic #1 (Lamb, Jeudy, or Green). If the Chargers wanted to be greedy, sign one of the receivers, and draft a tight-end, it was clear with Gronkowski that Brady loves a large, versatile tight-end, and Cole Kemet (Notre Dame) is an elite route runner and is a large target that Brady could latch onto.

Sure Up The Linebacker Position on Defense

Joey Bosa may be the second-best pass rusher in the NFL, sadly he may be the second-best pass rusher with the last name Bosa. Alongside Melvin Ingram, the defensive line of the Chargers is set for years to come, Dervin James is one of the top safeties in football, locking down receivers and ball-hawking while dropping into coverage. Casey Hayward is good, not great, but not bad either he´s good enough to keep a receiver in check during a game. The front and back of the Chargers defense are one of the top in football, Brady is a quarterback who´s not a game manager, but if he knows he only needs to get about 24 points a game to win, he´ll get you 24 points a game.

The only area that lacks for the Chargers defense is the linebacker core Thomas Davis Sr, Denzel Perryman, and Michael Davis, are good but they just don´t have the X factor that can make them elite. There are some ok linebackers in this free-agent market, but if they can find a way to trade up, or for a draft pick, Isaiah Simmons (Clemson) is looking to be the Khail Mack, if the Chargers can draft him, and bring him the success that Nick Bosa had this year, then the Chargers defense will be all set for 2020.

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
