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

      yeah, I can get a little of that.  But that's not what he is posting in his argument just now though.   He said people wouldn't even concede to the literal ability to do it when pressed on the literal ability.  I have never seen that.  He maintains it exists somewhere.  I mean, using anomaly games to make arguments about players just isn't the way.   There wasn't a defender within 10 yards of our guys on 2 of those 3 throws Sunday.  No one within 5 on the 3rd.   That's not Bryce Young answering questions about his play downfield..  That's Bryce Young taking advantage of coverage busts by a bad D.  Which hey, that's part of the game too.  Recognition and seeing the field.   It can't totally be dismissed.   That's still good play.  You want your QBs to make those plays.  But it's not getting into the long standing critique of BY IMO.

      Adam Thielen on Young

      Deserved, I wouldn’t use that word. Asked for? For sure. Am I upset over it? No.  People forget that AT was throwing his helmet in frustration last season over his QB’s ineptitude. The same QB was pretty inept to start this year, no guarantee AT would have helped him in those games any more than he did last year.  Just sayin.  And Dan doing him a solid probably did not go unnoticed by players around the league. I think it increases his rep with potential FAs. It sure can’t hurt it.

      You think that was the fault of the guy that was lighting it up or maybe the bums around him? Funnily enough, those bums are still being bums in his absence. Who would have thought!
