It is increasingly likely that wide receiver Vincent Jackson and left tackle Marcus McNeill will not sign with the Chargers until after the season's 10th game according to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune. They would come in then because they need six games to earn an accrued season. Still, it remains possible one or both could sit out the entire season. Many wonder how two players who have made less than $3 million in their careers can afford to not play. But not being paid by the Chargers is not a concern to the two players, sources say. Jackson and McNeill are committed to seeing this protest through, and they have the means to weather not playing in 2010 and potentially 2011 should the owners lock out players.

Are you serious? Two young guys who are already top 10 at their respective positions and who've probably not yet reached their ceilings? They are gonna want (and if they were open market FA's, GET) bankkkkkkkkk.
Yeah but can they actually afford to miss 2 whole seasons? Just freaking play and work with it as it goes. Holy crap.
McNeil may now be a top 10 LT but there is no way VJ is a top 10 receiver. I'd like to hear an argument for VJ being paid top 10 money ............
i thought mcneil could have been a top talent at LT back his rookie year and second but hes regressed alot imo, maybe not even regressed just kinda peaked and plateued
mcneil is not top 10 LT, that's a joke. He's decent, but like K said, he has regressed. Vincent Jackson shows flashes, but not a lock in the top 10. I have him right around 15 in my current rankings.
McNeil is also someone with serious health concerns. If it werent for his back he could have been a top 10 LT.
I'm in a "PPR" league as well (Not one point per reception - based on a per game basis.) He was 10th by 6 points. Here's my final standings... Fantasy-wise it obviously depends on the league scoring... Either way, I don't think he's Top-10 in "real-life."
68 receptions got 10th place, must not be 10 yards per point and bonuses that somehow bumped him a few spots. Most leagues that I come across don't offer bonuses. From what I have seen, he did better in non ppr leagues, but 68 catches in a season does put him in the top of the league. For WR's with at least 500 snaps, he was 24th in catch%. Dude was supposed to take a huge step forward last year and didn't really do it in my eyes. **********Automerged Doublepost********** how steve smith with 40 more receptions and a 100 more yards while only 2 less td's scored less fantasy points is just plain ridiculous and shows that it has to at least half point per reception or less. **********Automerged Doublepost********** how wes welker gets nearly 60 more catches and 200 more yards and doesn't smash him is even more ridiculous, that is no way a PPR, maybe a 1/2 ppr. **********Automerged Doublepost********** PPR means Point Per Reception, not 1/2 point or less per reception. lol
too many stat geeks roaming around here........ i like stats just as much as anyone but sometimes you have to look a little deeper and figure out what's causing the stats ...... like i said, v.j. is a good receiver. however, i'm not even sure he's the best receiver on his own team. in my opinion, v.j. has benefitted from defenses game-planning to stop a.g. due to bracketing and double-teams on a.g., v.j. gets single coverage more than any #1 wr in the league. that's a luxury that most #1 wr's in the league don't get to enjoy, and the chargers know it and that's why this contract thing could be an issue ............
he's not even close to top 15 in the league. the fact that fantasy stats have been discussed here is ghey ! gates - ftw!
yeah, people that know stats don't watch the games at all. We don't like to look at the whole picture or anything, what a biased, ignorant and uninformed statement to make. Of course stats don't tell to whole story, but certain stats give good information. If your second point was true, then gates wouldn't have had 11 more catches. In your football terms, jackson is a good receiver, but he disappears. He'll make one big catch and then becomes invisible. great receivers get open and make plays consistently and in the clutch and he is marginal in that regard.
