The same fans that have been complaining about mediocrity are the same ones that don’t want to take a chance on a superstar QB. Let’s just follow the same ole panthers way, because its worked so well for us in the last 25 years. 

Some of us aren't complaining about mediocrity and don't want to pay the price for Watson or deal with his baggage. This team has seen what happens with a superstar QB and a meh team around him. Three winning seasons. It just doesn't work.

Build the OL and improve the other weak areas of the team. Then go all in on a QB when they think they're truly ready to make a Super Bowl run.

LA has proven several times over that they don't care about the NFL, yet the NFL keeps trying to crack that large market nut.

Can't really say that about the Rams. They currently have 99.4% attendance, and average the 8th highest tickets sold in the NFL this year.

They still have that new car smell and are winning, so of course people are showing up just as they did in the past. Once the new has worn off and the team isn't doing as good, the LA crowd will abandon them in droves just as they have previous teams.

Much easier said than done. There’s a lot of things this franchise needs to fix. Seems like there is a new problem every season.

This would be a long term move for a 25 year old elite qb. This season doesn’t matter long term. It’s what happens if he’s still on the exempt list the following season. You gotta think the org has talked to the league and also legal counsel if they’re willing to give up that much draft capital and players for one guy only for him to be banned from the league. If they didn’t and are just winging it then this will be a disaster of epic proportions. I just don’t see us doing that unless we’ve had clarity. 

Hell I’d trade for him with this plan:

Work with him and his lawyers to settle his cases. 10 million dollar fund for the victims to just make all of it go away. 
 

Immediately suspend him for 10 games aka the remainder of the season. And put out a joint statement that he will spend the remainder of the season undergoing counseling and sensitivity training. Would have him go on the Ray Rice apology tour. 
 

Deal with all of that this season because we’re going to lose anyway. Then next year you go into the season with a young franchise QB whose paid his debt for his actions and be ready to play football.

The Chargers are 10th in total average attendance and their percentage is 99.0%.

I think LA supports football (and everything else) just fine.  Or at least just as much as most other NFL fan bases.

Kind of hard to blame San Diego fans. They were essentially the Lions until Marty came in, led them to success, and then fired him and watched it all burn all the way down back to Lions level again for years and years until they moved to LA.

LA has always been Lakers Town and they seem happy to be that, especially since they have the guys on the Lakers that are there now. The two NFL teams there now will be ran out of town just as the past franchises were.

He doesn't want to do that because he feels he is innocent. He has the money to settle these claims. He doesn't want to. Because he think's he is innocent.

Last thing I heard was he was gonna pay out to the accusers but he wanted it to be public and they didn’t. Not sure if that’s true but weird. Usually it’s the other way around.

I don't care if he ever plays another down of football.   Some things are bigger than a damn football game.  He is a dumbass at the very least and a sexual predator at worst.  I will never watch that dude play.

Fair enough, I'm just confused as to why you wouldn't support a team for letting him play but will continue to support a league that will let him play.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
