THE STATE OF THE SAN DIEGO CHARGER? INSPIRED BY FREE AGENCY MOVES..
   The San Diego Chargers have been mediocre for the past 4 years and counting.. 8-8, 9-7 , with or without a running game or a really solid number wide out.. I know Keenan Allen was great find and made a great splash his rookie season. but last season was disappointing.. The great gates had a career year, can he do it again as he approaches middle age in sports years.. And Bless Rivers,,playing in pain,, but it may have taken years of his time table.. Lets face it, he's not the most agile or athlectic QB in the league , In fact he is probably the slowest running one in the league.. I would bet Manning could out run rivers, Bur anyways, 
   Are the chargers better than last year? I say no.. They let Mathew's go... and Rivers pivotal pass catchers in royal.( he had chemistry with him at crunch times)  I know,, the chargers picked up Stevie who ? Johnson. He had 3 good years early in is career before being a journey man with the 49ers.. Ok.. does that make them a contender? or the signings of former broncos line men, ? I say no.. The broncos and yes the chiefs are still one and two , with the chargers holding third place , with the raiders not far behind.. I know,, the raiders? But they are getting better and they are capable of beating the chargers and have these past few years.. The problem with charger fans,, they base their \teams abilities on yesteryear.. This is no longer a LT , shawne merriman.. Vincent jackson , darren sproles talent rich team.. This is a rebuilding team with a young and unproven GM and Head coach.. I like Mike McCoy,, but is he a Superbowl winning coach..?!?  Can he outcoach the Belichick, or Mike Tomlin or Jim Harbaugh, Pete carrols of the day.. ? If anything he reminds of Nervous Norv? Yes ,, the record speak for itself,, back to back 9-7 records, similar to Nervous Norv;s last years. Yes.. It may be harsh on a 3rd year coach,, But Guess what ??1,, it whats the NFL is all about.. You want to perform well and do good things,The Chargers seem to always mess things up.. Back in the 90's we had a great coach , in Bobby the Boss Ross!! , in fact I  could call him the best ever,!! because he took a Stan the Man Humphries team with Natrone Means to the teams only SUPERBOWL appearance. Sure they were killed by the great 49ers, but at least the city had a year to always remember? But because we had a ego , self centered GM bobby beathard , funny has history repeats itself in San Diego. AJ smith , great at assembling talent , but was a jerk to players and coaches that could of led the team to better things,, But their self promoting,, I;m the best ever attitude's,, destroy any chance for championship football.. Well anyways.. the bolts,, don't resign the Boss ross and the chargers go into the dark period of their hsiotry. the cryan ryan leaf years,, 1-15 , the june jines, Mike riley and and Merry go round of coaches and qb's.. its naddening to be honest,, But finally,, we make a great hire in Marty Schttenheimer.. He  along with Drew Brees and LT willed this team into contenders and relevant in the NFL.. but AJ boneheaded Smith.. fires A 14-2 COACH. ? Who in their right minds does that..?? the bone headed charger management / owners.. How can you ruin the chemistry the chargers had, with brees and LT.. BUT.. they do,, they get rid of Drew Brees who happen to win a Superbowl in New orleans,, at one time the worst team ever., Wow , what a slap in the face to the chargers,, well anyways,, the chargers, hire a loser coach in Nervous Norv Turner,, in fact a former raider coach...?? Anyone in their right minds doesn't take anything from the raiders.. But they do.. and the chargers,, go on to lose in the playoffs with him, before he is finally fired!! Thus.. the chargers hire unproven Tom Telesco and Mike McCoy,, they are potentially great prospects,, or cheaper choices.. and they surprise the city and themselves, by going 9-7 , and make the playoff and even gain a upset playoff win against the talented bengals. But another 9-7 season, with inconsistent play , has many fans wondering ,??, Are the chargers heading in the right directon? 
 based on the moves,, the chargers are still a 9-7 , team , with no pass rusher threat or a run stopper on defense,, the chargers are still in desperate need of a big nose tackle , like a Jamal William's type to help the undersized line backers the bolts have,, Teo is good , but somewhat small and not very fast.. he needs help with the big three , which the chargers don't have right now.. 
  The disrespecting of Rivers is appalling.. Not trying to resign him to a long term contract is awful.. I know its negations,, but rivers is the heart and soul of this team.. I'm sorry Clemens or sorenson are not the answers.. !!The chargers making threats or claim about moving to LA..is downright disheartening, though we all know its a business,, ,but it still makes fans angry.. But if the San Diego city council wasn't so self centered and corrupt over the past 14 years,, the city could of had a stadium built for under 1 billion dollars, But they wasted time, money and research, to cause a rift between the city and the team. but that's the history of the chargers,, they tease you , please you only yo disappoint you every season.. But like addicts , we the fans come back , hoping ,praying , and wishing that Lombardi trophy will be ours.. But just look at the teams that win Superbowl's, they are consistent , they have play makers and play breakers and they take chances, Not the chargers , they made safe ,predictable moves,, and that why they 8-8 , and 9-7 champions of the league,, they beat the bad teams,, but lose to the elites,, if that's not mediocrity,, I don't know what is..?! Its funny the charger fans like to laugh at other teams miseries,, but most of those teams the fans laugh at have won a Superbowl or more,, The rams, saints, buccaneers, raiders , and 49ers,, have all won one or more. I know that's past history,, but guess what? If I was a fan of theirs,, I would say ok,!!!, we may suck now,, but have you won anything ? The San Diego Chargers have some of the most passionate fans I have ever met,.. despite having a team that has never won anything, The 1963 AFL championship with only 8 teams , doesn't mean much to the NFL .. and many of us weren't even born to feel that thrill. 
 Bottom line: The State of the San Diego chargers is this? The team is not interested in playing in mission Valley, yes its convenient , but studies have shown its a waste land with contaminated soil and ground water , due to those oil tanks you can see nearby,, Also the water district owns the land and they are difficult to deal with along with all San Diego agencies.. The NFL WANTS TO sell those luxury seats , that SAN DIEGAN cant afford,,, the NFL has changed its  a money game now,... gambling , and making money is whats its all about., In LA.. you have rich people, actors, singers , dancers, politicians. businessman that can buy those luxury seats for thousands of dollars,, The tail gating scene is a no money activity,, because most of the people buy their own beer and food and don't spend money at the game,, or even attend,,, ? 
  Rivers is pissed off, he stated he wants nothing to do with LA, and I don't blame him,,, but he will play out his last year as a lame duck player, and throw to gates and allen.. and hope the others step it up.. Oliver and woodhead will make plays ..and the defense will play good enough to win 8 or 9 games, but a contender ? Based on what they have or let go ,, this team is weaker than it was a year ago.. resigning players that were injured last year to protect rivers,, wouldn't make me feel good about rivers health? And he knows what!! But its what the chargers have done historically,, build up the fans,, only to disappoint or choke in the playoffs,, Yes.. it;s a hard reality. but check out the stats and history.. The chargers when it mattered the most blown chances to be a champion, because they let go of coaches and players that demand and deserve the big money, But like every year , they will make moves, draft some good players and play exciting , if not consistent winning football, and we will as fans,will  wish and pray and even hope they can win.. But in today's NFL.. the formula for success , is winning consistently , and having a formula that works.. The chargers are still in search of that formula,, and after 2 years,, of the Telesco and McCoy regime,,   This year is the make it or break it year of their plan.. 3rdplace and another 9-7 year wont attract more fans and the threats of leaving will not either. The Chargers are on the clock.. and its ticking... The Rivers regime is closer to the end as well as the gates.. career.. Draft day , the chargers need to make a big move and get that stud runner like a gurley , or gordon.. or Get that franchise QB?? and of course get some corn fed line men to block fOR  rivers, as they make that swan song run to the big game.. Are the chargers making the right moves? Right now,, they are making safe steady moves,, We as fans are hoping draft day will create a new era,, just like THE LT , drew brees years when they were contenders ,, and not pretenders.. Its been a while since the fans expected the chargers to win their games.. Now,, the fans are hoping , and wishing they win.. and that that is not to formula for winning in the NFL.. Until my next blog.. Keep the faith, but also be realistic about this season.. Its gonna be a dog fight in the AFC west , because all of the teams have improved ....
