GM AJ Smith: Chargers “soft and bewildered”

The Chargers lost 38-28 at Pittsburgh on Sunday night, falling behind 28-0 and allowing the defending Super Bowl champions to pile up 497 yards of offense. San Diego is 2-2 going into its bye week, and already is two games behind the Denver Broncos in the AFC West2.gif.

On Wednesday, Smith was quoted in The San Diego Union-Tribune as saying, “Everything is wrong with it right now. I’m not the least bit happy in a lot of areas. I’ve seen us be tough and physical to soft and bewildered.”

....

Merriman at first declined to comment, which would have been a first in his five-year career.

“I don’t know too much of that. That’s an opinion of a person, and it’s not needed,” Merriman said. “We know that we have to play better. We met for an extra hour and a half as a defense as a whole to discuss what we need to do and things we need to do to get better. And we’re going to make adjustments in this locker room as far as players and our attitudes and getting after people a little more. But all that extra (stuff) is not needed at all.”

I honestly believe that an NFL team takes on the personality of their quarterback. That's why the Chargers are whiny bitches....because that is all I've ever seen Rivers do. Whine & Bitch.

LdT is the same way...can dish it but can't take it. And we know Norval ran his mouth about OUR 45 IS BETTER THAN THEIR 45 last year before the Cats played them.

While I don't agree with Smith's public bus throwing under AT ALL, I have less respect for the "dish it can't take it" people.

lol I know right....but I went to State so I can't say that

Rivers is a great QB. :D

This isn't the first time AJ Smiths' ego got in the way.

His wars with Marty Schottenheimer are well chronicled. They had a very good coaching staff in Marty, Cam Cameran OC, Wade Phillips DC. Smith left Marty dangling late into the offseason before firing Schotty and by then Cameron and Phillips had jumped ship and all the other good coaches available were snapped up. Norv Turner, like Wade Phillips should be coordinators, not head coaches. The Chargers and Cowboys have to get the least out of the most of anyone in the league. Well, except the Panthers this year of course.

The Chargers need a new HC and the team will take on his personality.

Please show me a clip of whining and bitching....interview or on field.

That is a persona that ESPN has givin him for jawing while on field. Not whining and bitching.

I can't find a YouTube clip of them because it always seems like they are removed for one reason or another. But I distinctly remember a couple cases where:

1.) Rivers is on the bench pouting.

2.) Taunting fans

3.) Taunting other players (very recently, see the Raiders game where a Raiders guy jumped offsides and fell face first near Rivers who then proceeded to lean over him and run his mouth.

4.) After losing to the Patriots, Rivers calls Ellis Hobbs the "sorriest corner in the league," and tells him to "act like he's won a game before."

5.) There are other examples. You can't whitewash Rivers and say "ESPN is just making that up!" Because he is a classless ass and there is generally some truth to every "rumor." Defend him all you want, but he is a jackass and is no better than Cutler imho.

Being in Ohio I have a hard time thinking you have any other exposure to him besides what you see on ESPN....so it's safe to say you don't know him from adam or that youve never met him, spoke with him, or know multiple people who have or still do know him well.

So much for having talent and being fiery.....guess the panthers are just stuck with fiery lol

So everything I see on TV is just something that has been taken out of context? Something made up? When they zoom in on him taunting other players or saying poo about other teams in a press conference, it is all made up?

I don't know why you are both riding Rivers' nuts, but I see what I see. As far as being from Ohio, I'm not sure what that has to do with anything? Does that mean I'm unqualified to speak about anything that doesn't happen in my state? What about my county? City?

I call them like I see them. I feel like the Chargers have failed to meet expectations year after year and now it is bleeding down to the team but Rivers has always been this way. Fiery? Pfff....Delhomme is fiery. But an asshole? Rivers has that on lockdown.

I also understand that Rivers isn't the only quarterback like this. Examples that spring to mind are Cutler (obvious) and Favre (check out any game where he plays against Warren Sapp).

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      Bryce has been playing the best ball of his career the last three games IMO. He wasn't the reason we dropped the game in NOLA. Seattle's defense will be his toughest challenge yet this season

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By SOJA · Posted

      I'll be at the game Sunday and up until last year I had a perfect attendance record. Now however I have seen us lose to the Chiefs (last year) and the Bills (this year). So we can no longer rely solely on my ability to pound overpriced beers to propel us to a win.

      I haven't been able to watch Seattle on a dedicated basis but the Seahawks are a much better team by the all accounts: eye test, record and DVOA. Defensively they are sick. Best DVOA in the league first in rushing and second in passing. Offensively their passing game has been on fire this year led by JSN I can easily see this being like the Buffalo game where things just get out of hand for us early, that being said this league really is week to week and Seattle does have the disadvantage of traveling cross country for an early game.  If and big if, the Panthers are able to effectively run the ball and limit the amount of time Seattle's offense has to generate explosive plays we have a path to winning this game.  Seattle fans won't be happy to hear this but bad Darnold is always lurking in the background. He is truly an enigma to root for bc he will have an incredible throw that only a few people can make but then will turn around and throw the most bone headed pick of all time.  I think ultimately we drop this one as ultimately it's human nature to be looking forward to that week 18 game. But man how special would it be to be leaving the stadium on Sunday with a win and a miracle dolphins upset
