The Chargers Model

[Black&Black]

- A GM who doesn't try to play 5D chess. They get good players as the draft board dictates. They don't swing for the fences in free agency. They reliably procure talented players.



- A non-celebrity head coach who delegates.


- An offensive and defensive coordinator who believe in minimalism. There's nothing special at all about their schemes. Coaching never gets in the way.



I like how they're built.

 

[Big Red]

I hope you are feeling better, and I agree with you.

Having a QB as good as Rivers doesn't hurt

 

[Black&Black]

He's not that great, honestly.

 

[Cyberjag]

Whatever. I think he's one of the better QBs in the league.

 

[Black&Black]

He's perfect for who they are, but I don't think he's one of the best in the league. He's pretty much worthless once protection breaks down, as we saw for most of that game last night.

 

[Coach Micool]

Neither are most. I'd put him as top 5 right now. Cam is not even top 10 under pressure or as a passer in general either.

I mean, I wouldn't trade Cam for him right now basically because of age, but he's better than Cam right now, unless your OL is so bad you need a guy who can constantly run/get away from pressure and also is risk of running, which helps the run game with options, etc.

Remember, Rivers has never been a risk as a runner and the rush knows this.

 

[Big Red]

Cam isn't even top 25. He's garbage, and has been since that SB loss.

 

[Coach Micool]

Not really. He's middle of the road overall.

 

[Big Red]

Not that he's not been great, but he's been pretty bad for 2 seasons now.
