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.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
