We are...the San Diego Chargers (circa 2000s)

[davos]

I've said something along these lines before but hot damn, it's truer than ever right now.  

We've got a lot of staff all stemming from that club.  Basically: the HC became the OC and the DC became the HC.  

Let's look at those records when they had Turner-Rivera-Chud-Wilks:

2007: 11-5

2008: 8-8

2009: 13-3

2010: 9-7

Rivers had some unbelievable seasons, LT was a rushing-receiving machine with the emergent Sproles and Tolbert, a future HOFer in Gates at TE.  But they just couldn't consistently be at the top.  They had really quick linebackers, a decent enough DL and an aging secondary.  Hmmm.  Would look amazing one week and then crap the next.  Great one season then entirely underperforming and mediocre the next.  

They won playoff games in 07', Rivers was battling through injuries, then had one of his best years arguably in 2008.  Fall back to mediocrity in the year they were hyped then fall apart.  They would do just enough to keep the coaches in tact.

Now on our end, don't forget what Cam said about Chud coming in and installing this Turner offense they had going in SD.  Furthermore, he admitted Shula basically kept it tact (for the most part) and now the "mastermind" is back at the helm.  Rivera was there and has been here the whole time so the defense is known.  Sure he was a 3-4 there but results are eerily similar and we run hybrid D a lot of the time.  

So....after all this time, it really shows these guys just refuse to evolve.  I feel they just brought the entire mentality and MO of the late 2000s Chargers with them.    

We are

the

late 2000s.. 

San Diego...

Super Chargers.

Great job wasting our time and Cam's potential. 

They wasted the scrappy lad from NC State and now it's kid from Auburn who genuinely wants to bring a SB to Charlotte.  

Stupid observation but wanted to make it known.

And a weird factoid: Jake Delhomme's former QB Coach became their next HC.  Let's hope we do better.

They fugged up when they fired Marty Schottnheimer

Dave and the entire staff should have been fired after the 2016 disaster. Thanks JR.

More like the 90s Lions

Those teams were Schottenheimer's teams so a lot of the conservativism on offense stems from Schotty. Too bad we couldn't nab his son. At least we aren't the Failcons, even though we lost to them. fug we lose to everyone.
