The London Chargers?


Raleigh PF

Recommended Posts

The Chargers have been mentioned as a possibility to relocate to the UK.

IF the NFL moves the Chargers, there would have to be a fairly massive realignment. They couldn't leave the Chargers in the AFC West - they would have to move to either the NFC East or AFC East. I could certainly see reasoning for bumping Miami and moving the Chargers to the AFC East. But then, what to do with Miami? The dominoes would continue to fall.

It *could* be possible that they move Miami to one of the south divisions, which could mean either Houston or New Orleans would then move to the AFC West to take the Chargers place. 

Outside of realignment, it's going to be quite the burden on teams west of the Mississippi to fit the Chargers into their away schedule. As much as there has been a disadvantage for teams traveling east, this would certain compound that issue.

Seriously here, how much effort did the league put into moving the Chargers to Los Angeles?

There was a whole monster fight over that move that our old owner was a big part of. And that was what, just two or three years ago.

Now they're talking about moving the whole damn team to London?

Somebody really needs to get their head out of their ass.

It's all about the money. Goodell represents the owners who want to open a new market and this is their way to do it. As long as you ask yourself, how will this make the NFL more money, then you can figure out what their next moves are going to be. They are a pretty simple, petty lot, for the most part.

As much as I hate the idea, make no mistake London will have a team in the next couple of years.  NFL is all about $ and they clearly want to expand the brand overseas.  It wouldn't surprise me if they added two new expansion teams and put one in London and the other in Canada.

    • 4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.
    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
