The Chargers became a rare NFL franchise that no one wanted. San Diego leaders and citizens made clear they wouldn't pay (enough) for a new stadium. And a year after the Rams moved to Los Angeles, no one there was clamoring for a second team. The better economic deal between the two imperfect options is LA. The Chargers are a business and apparently will act like one. Per Adam Schefter, they will move to Los Angeles.

The Chargers are expected to announce as early as Thursday that they plan to leave San Diego for Los Angeles in 2017, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. I spoke with Rams COO Kevin Demoff about the possibility of a second team in the market a couple weeks ago. Here's part of what he said: "If we do our job correctly, a second team should only heighten the NFL excitement in the marketplace and build on it. I don't think it takes away. I think it just enhances it. But it's still dependent on -- you have to be playing winning football, you have to be exciting, you have to make your brand entertaining and relevant. I think that's true whether you're the only team in the market or whether there are two or three teams in the market."

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      It can happen but it’s nothing like the NBA. One player doesn’t make the difference in the NFL that one player can in the NBA. Also, there are just not the same amount of trades and even opportunities. Because the NFL isn’t just one stud away, you don’t get a lot of opportunities like Miami did with Tua or the Jets did with Zach Wilson. Both teams got multiple 1sts for players they traded (Jets had 5 1sts in 2021-2022 and Miami had 5 1sts in 2020-2021) and both got top 5 picks to select a QB. They both made some good and bad picks but Miami turned Tua into multiple playoff appearances even though Tua isn’t elite. Wilson was just so bad that the Jets still sucked. We had our opportunity in 2022 where we would have had 6 1sts and 4 2nds in 2023-2025 and probably had a top 5 pick in 2023 or 2024 for a QB without trading up. Unfortunately, Fitterer didn’t have the foresight to realize a full rebuild was necessary and when a team offers you 2 1sts and a 2nd for a non-QB like Tunsil and Burns, you take it. One thing I wish trades had in the NFL that they have in the NBA is protected picks. A moron like Fitterer could have a top 5 protected pick so his terrible GMing doesn’t accidentally give the Bears the #1 overall pick because the moron Fitterer incorrectly thought we were 1 player away from the playoffs.

      Anyone that believes getting a couple late season wins to end the season at 4-13 while picking 9th in each round, other than 2-15 with the 1st pick in each round is not being realistic.  It happens nearly every other year, Jags gave the browns a insane package to move from 2nd to 5th. If not for late season pointless/everyone forgets late season wins the Panthers would have gotten that franchise changing package. Not to mention Panthers would have had Herbo and Sewell in other years, but nope. Do I need to bring up da bears??? The goal is long term winning in order to make the playoffs, one season to tank could spark it with a Burrow that's gets sacked 60 times on the way to a SB.  I want to win as bad as anyone, but the second the Panthers are eliminated from playoff contention, the ONLY solution is to lose the remaining games to gain a better chance to never do that again. No other answer.
