Official Charger Season Discussion - News - Roster Moves - Injuries

I'd take the asterisk over an empty trophy case anyday.

That is my point. We should go all in. Pretend the cap does not exist, put together an all star team win a SB then deal with the ramifications later.

That is not even close to what happened.

He signed all pro's for a fraction of what they would get on the open market. He paid them the rest of their salary, cash under the table. If they were offered say a 10 million a year deal he signed then for 2 million then gave them 8 million under the table. When they were asked why did so and so sign for you at way less then they were offered for other teams they said well they just wanted to be a 49'r.

So when they were busted the NFL put all that money on their cap in dead money. They lost draft picks and Policy was forced out. The 49'rs for the next decade sucked because their cap was full of dead money, they could not sign FA and basically had to field a practice squad.

I cannot believe nobody followed this, I know the NFL fought like hell to hide this but come on.

Total nonsense.

Haha - there is no thread that cannot be derailed with enough effort!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Staley will take us to the AFCCG and possibly to a Superbowl win in 2023. Majority of the media will continue to berate and skewer him, but this time for aggressively running up scores on opponents while having dominant and sometimes shutdown defensive performances. Most of the media will openly dislike him for his confidence, bluntness and smugness, except for a few skeptics turned diehard supporters like Colin Cowherd, Chris Simms, Marcus Spears, Marcellus Wiley and Shannon Sharpe.

I have a dream....

:LOL:

Did you see our 2023 schedule? With TT and Staley, we will not make the playoffs and most likely have a losing record (6-11).

It's impossible to say anything about the schedule right now. When this year's schedule came out we thought Colts/Rams/Broncos to end the season would be brutal. We play the Packers and Jets, Rodgers could be on either team or neither. We play the Ravens and Lions, Lamar could be on either team or neither. We play the Patriots, Jets, Dolphins, Raiders and Titans, Brady could be on any of those teams or none of them. It's impossible to say anything about the schedule.

How can you say that ?

2019 : 5 wins
2020 : 7 wins
2021 : 9 wins
2022 : 10 wins

I see something like progression there !

Prediction Noted.
We play 17 games vs NFL teams who have to play us.
My way premature guess : 11 - 6 and a playoff win.
We continue to improve.

In recent times (last two HCs prior to Staley) year three has been a disaster. That's coming up for Staley. But even if the year is a disaster
history says the Chargers keep him around for at least one more year.
