We are...the San Diego Chargers (circa 2000s)

I've said something along these lines before but hot damn, it's truer than ever right now.  

We've got a lot of staff all stemming from that club.  Basically: the HC became the OC and the DC became the HC.  

Let's look at those records when they had Turner-Rivera-Chud-Wilks:

2007: 11-5

2008: 8-8

2009: 13-3

2010: 9-7

Rivers had some unbelievable seasons, LT was a rushing-receiving machine with the emergent Sproles and Tolbert, a future HOFer in Gates at TE.  But they just couldn't consistently be at the top.  They had really quick linebackers, a decent enough DL and an aging secondary.  Hmmm.  Would look amazing one week and then crap the next.  Great one season then entirely underperforming and mediocre the next.  

They won playoff games in 07', Rivers was battling through injuries, then had one of his best years arguably in 2008.  Fall back to mediocrity in the year they were hyped then fall apart.  They would do just enough to keep the coaches in tact.

Now on our end, don't forget what Cam said about Chud coming in and installing this Turner offense they had going in SD.  Furthermore, he admitted Shula basically kept it tact (for the most part) and now the "mastermind" is back at the helm.  Rivera was there and has been here the whole time so the defense is known.  Sure he was a 3-4 there but results are eerily similar and we run hybrid D a lot of the time.  

So....after all this time, it really shows these guys just refuse to evolve.  I feel they just brought the entire mentality and MO of the late 2000s Chargers with them.    

We are

the

late 2000s.. 

San Diego...

Super Chargers.

Great job wasting our time and Cam's potential. 

They wasted the scrappy lad from NC State and now it's kid from Auburn who genuinely wants to bring a SB to Charlotte.  

Stupid observation but wanted to make it known.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      If Canales comes back and Bryce doesn’t I would probably prefer to bring in 3 guys he likes from around the league or maybe outside a top ten pick and work through them, give that a shot. Because if we win a few more games we won’t be in the running for the top rated QB prospects anyway.

      You mean tepper but yeah I agree about rhule   Baker is a top 3 potential qb that is play for mvp and he is doing it with a slew of injuries

      There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.
