This slide seems to be more than just their regular slow start that most of the analysts have diagnosed. There is no question that they have lots of talent, ability to score, and good defense (see the cowboys), but I think their HC is much more suited as a coordinator than a HC (see cowboys again). Aisde from that, its not all on the coach, they just can't seem to catch a break. this missed FG is a bummer.

It's certainly not Norv Turner.

They have a top 5 O and a top 5 D on the field. He has Rivera coaching a 3-4 D as well as anyone out there, and he was a 4-3 guy.

Injuries and Inexperience is killing that team. They could easily be 6-1 (Rams beat them) were if not for very young players on O making bad mistakes, and having to field very young players on ST because of injuries.

The first 5 games of the season they were without 2 O linemen, and are on their 5th long snapper, all the while IR'ing 5 LB's.

Norv summed it up best for that team: He said they just have wayyy too many guys touching the ball far too many times that aren't used to doing so.

They will rally, but I wouldn't count on KC imploding like Denver did, they have better coaching, and a much smarter QB.

Don't know if you saw the game yesterday. Horrible mental errors by their players. Catching a pass and setting it down on the field for the other team to pick up before the receiver is tackled (this ain't college).

Not covering a backwards pass (ie lateral) to a back for another turnover and points. The mental errors and missed assignments all year long on special teams costing them games. San Diego like Dallas has huge talent. But the teams lack discipline, especially mentally. Yeah, this poo stops at Norv's desk.

I have watched every game that SD and the Panthers have played for about the last 6 seasons, and I am telling you that it aint Norv Turner.

That pass you are referencing was that players first pass in the NFL, please tell me that Norv had something to do with him getting excited. Also please tell me that Norv has something to do with VJ, Naanee, Floyd, and Gates being either hobbled and or out of the game.

Sorry dude, this is on the players, not the coach.

Your opinion, which happens to be wrong. ;)

And yours is unfounded.

Listen, I promise you that I have watched this team much more than anyone on this board except for maybe Bolt, maybe.

They have let go of a lot of good players trying to continue to win in the future, and have a ton of players that were not even active last season playing in starters roles.

Please reference Norv's record with the Chargers with the other 31 HC's out there since he took over and get back to me. Without looking I would say his overall record is probably better than all but 2 or 3 HC's out there in that time period.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
