NFL= NOTHING FOR LOYALTY - INSPIRED BY THE SAN DIEGO CHARGERS..
The league is changing in front of our eyes, the days of players playing for one team is diminishing,, I mean Brett \Favre other than a Packer was unreal, but it happened or Jerry Rice retiring as a sea hawk? Or Manning being other than a colt.. Well its the sign of the times... Fantasy football coming to real life.. I mean.. Its like GM'S could care less if fans have a passion for a player,, These days its all about the $ and what can you do for me now.. No more loyalty and the The Chargers are no different , From Jr Seau, to Rodney Harrison, to Vincent Jackson,sproles and LT and one of my favorites Drew Brees.. Those guys were the face of the franchise and what do the chargers do? Look for the younger player.. Well Guess what? It hasn't worked.. Harrison, Brees, etc. have gone on to win Superbowl,s and the the replacements,,, Lets see Jr seau.. Merriman maybe? But he's gone and no Superbowl appearance.. Harrison. maybe weddle,, But Harrison was a true beast,, Now Vincent Jackson,, I love Allen, but he's no Vincent Jackson when it comes to long bombs.. Now sproles,, Oliver,,, maybe but not as fast or elusive., LT. never. Cryan Ryan Mathews. was just a tease ad never panned out? Drew Brees I was very upset when they let him go for Rivers.. Not taking anything away from Rivers. But Brees was the heart and soul along with LT and Coach Marty.. if the chargers were smart and not so cheap.?. A Superbowl ring could of happened.. ??But the chargers like the whole history tells us. They don't like paying the big bucks!!,,, But at times,, when you have the team that has it all,,?! Then go for it!!,, As charger fans,, we know how hard it is to get there?!?! .. and for the chargers to think about going after the young kid Mariota.. Just goes to show,, they are looking for the future,, In my opinion. they are saying,, Rivers has done what he can do.?! We know what he has done, and since the 2007 AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME loss to the Patrots,, despite knee surgery ,, before the game he lost to Tom Brady and the bunch.. Rivers has been great at times !?, and horrible during the clutch.?! . He's best year was when Whisenhunt was offensive coordinator,, who is now head coach of the Tennessee Titans,, which is miles away from Rivers family homes and roots,,,, Makes sense for him to go there? Why? Its home and anyone that has a true home Town.. nothing beats home,, I know I have lived in Oakland,, never considered that home, Long Beach same thing.. Seattle Washington, Norfolk Va, Pensacola Florida , Corpus Christi Texas.. But home is San Diego/ Temecula areas. My family is around those areas and I love the SO CAL vibe,, the car shows,, the beaches ,mountains , lakes,, the open roads,, its home, so it makes sense for rivers,,
Next reason why the Titans make a great fit for Rivers.. The Titans have been the door mats in their division, for years.., What better way to bring in a star name player like Rivers , who is from the area.. It would make the Titans instant contenders in my book. It makes sense for the team and rivers.. So don't be surprised,, because I thought Brees and LT would retire as chargers and Harrison would too,., But as time and history tells us.. The chargers are not into loyalty.. which is ok.. But come on now?!,, Atleast win the big game,!!, Because all the moves they have made suck,,!!, The Chargers are lords of no rings,, and I hate the NFL when they made a documentary about that.. The Missing rings,, and the chargers are the head liners for that!!
My take..I feel the chargers are really interested in Mariota why? Because they sent almost everyone to watch this kid work out.. They have spoken with the Titans,, I know its not possible?! .. But didn't the chargers trade picks with NY giants.. to get rivers,!!, How odd how karma works out.. What happened years ago, when the Chargers traded picks to get rivers and the bolts had two qbs in brees and rivers,, and the drama started and it affected the team.. In fact it caused the demise of Coach Marty's departure.. The GMS; and head coaches , live and depend on the teams qb,, Lets face it,, Rivers is not their guy, and if your going to preach you style.. and livelihood , your gonna stick with a qb that fits your style. Rivers , is the last of the drop back pocket passer,, The league is evolving,,and Your gonna see more qbs that can throw , run , in other words be more athletic.. its just evolution, and the chargers want to follow that trend,,, mariota just fits the mold on what the chargers are heading too.. The AFC west in transition,, and believe it or not the Oakland Raiders have set the trend with a young stud qb and a up and coming defense,, The rest of the teams are adjusting,, Its gonna be a interesting year in the AFC west and don't be surprised we see a new AFC WEST CHAMPION,, and it might be a team that has been cellar dwellers for years.. Just saying. The Raiders are coming ad the other AFC WEST teams are responding.. NFL =nothing for loyalty,,, I know the chargers appreciate what Rivers has done, but they are looking to the future,, Creating a new fan base, moving to another city? Starting anew.. I know LA only wants champion's,, but the Lakers are rebuilding or fading? The Clipppers are just teasers, The Dodgers... are contenders , and the USC AND UCLA teams are always in the mix ,, Perhaps the Chargers could be a viable option for a LA market that has many millions of people that are willing to spend their money if you win.. Its a sobering thought for charger fans,,but??
Why is Rivers saying I wont sign an extension or contract after the season,, ? It makes you wonder if the chargers are really going to stay in San Diego,, Rivers is no bluffer!!,, he wears his emotions on his face always,, and by him saying he's done or he has no plans to play in LA.. just makes me wonder if he really knows whats happening,, I know the chargers are not happy with his grumblings,, But action speak louder than words.. Mariotta had a personal dinner and work outs wirh the chargers and talks with the Titans that have the 2nd pick..?!1 Just makes you wonder.. we all know theres back talk and unseen negotiations in life,, its just reality,, perhaps, we are seeing the changing of the guard and a new direction for the chargers,, for better or worse,,?!?1 As fans,, we can only wait and see, But like I said,, the actions of the chargers dictate , they are going to make a draft day trade , and make mariota the new face of the franchise and perhaps build a fan base in la , THAT could embrace a young kid that has that so cal kind of look,, He is a marquee player and could develop a fan base in so cal, BECAUSE OF HIS COLLEGE DAYS.. ,,Its just something to ponder? ,, on hump day April 15, 2015.. Is this the end of the Rivers era? Only time and draft day will finally answer those questions,,, Until my next sports blog..
