Are the Panthers the next Chargers?

Everyone knew that they had a talented roster: Tomlinson, Rivers, Sproles, Gates, VJax, Merrimen, Weddle, Cromartie. Everyone also knew that AJ Smith and Norv Turner needed to go by 2010 (if not sooner), yet they weren't fired until 2012. The Chargers still haven't recovered. Even with that, the Chargers only had two losing seasons under AJ Smith, his first and his last. Hurney had 5 losing seasons and Rivera has already had 4. Is JR going to let Hurney and Rivera waste our current core group of players and ruin the franchise for the next decade?

No.  At one point, the Chargers fired a very successful, winning coach (Schottenheimer) following a 14-2 season and playoff appearance.  We've only had 4 coaches and 3 GMs over 22 years, and still havent had back to back winning seasons, because we don't expect any more.

If you mean changing coaching staffs every couple years or every time your QB has a bad game. No not yet but give it time. I mean people are wanting Norv Turner as our OC, I mean that worked for the Chargers.

 

1TD - 8ints in 3 losses, can you believe the coaching:eyeroll:

It's sad to say but this team might benefit more in the long run if they totally collapse. It would send a message to JR that he made a mistake with David and not firing Hurney. Any success this year translates to the coaching staff/GM staying at least two more years.

There are some distinct differences to how the teams are run, but in essence, you could be onto something.  The Chargers wasted a HOF caliber QB in Rivers by being cheap, and mismanaged.

We are wasting a HOF caliber QB's career by continuing to trot out below average coaches...not necessarily teams.

 

The Chargers allowed a glut of talent to leave after Rivers' first couple years there, and then started drafting poorly...they seem to be a bit better now, but still not great.  

IMO Carolina has had talent all through Cam's career, we just haven't had the coaching to use the talent effectively.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
