How Talented Is This Team Really?

[Riverwalk]

For Dean Spanos - owning the Chargers is all about revenue. .

If it was just about revenue the last thing he would have done was put his son John in charge of football operations because the fastest way to increase revenue is by winning championships.

Put Tuli in the interior and James and Bosa on the edge or Tuli and James in the interior with Fox and Bosa on the edge, and show me any team that can stop that.

Don't have to win Championships to continue gettin their slice of the NFL pie.This loser family will live off the scraps from the table.They have no pride,just a lust for $.

Correct

The TV deal gives each team the money to run the franchises without needing gate receipts and other revenue streams.

And to the point about why would they put John Boy in charge if they wanted to win - its obvious Dean doesn't want to win. He just wants to collect money

I wish Ballmer wanted a football team and not the Clippers -- Spanos is just not very bright. He just isn't. And if Dean had to rely on his business wits and skillset to make money, the team would have folded 20 years ago.

Look, I don’t like Spanos and wish he would sell, but more wins equals more money so your argument that wins don’t matter to Dean is utter nonsense.

How is it utter nonsense? The results speak for themselves. He doesn't care about winning. I totally get what you are saying,. I have thought the same thing. But if Dean truly wanted to win, he would not be in the building, except signing checks and none of his family would have jobs. Period. But John Boy is VP of Football Ops - and the record is the record

I agree with you totally that more success would be more money and winning a title. But I think Dean is happy to make the profit he does without putting in the hard work. Remember, he didn't work for his money, he was just lucky to be born first.

If the NFL made the owners actually win games to get paid - the Spanii would have sold 25 years ago or gone bankrupt.

Yep this Spanos owned team will most likely stay meh for years to come if they continue doin business as usual.Only thing fans can do is vote with their wallets.I still think us fans should start a viral campaign to oust the spaznos ilk or at the very least make it loud and clear we want Harbaugh or a proven, Expensive,winning coach this time or NO more fan support!!!We don't get a damn superbowl win or at least win our division this year its time for us fans to stand up or shut up.

that said, even if they are not the best players, in 36 games as coach, Staleys team have given up 55 pass plays of over 30 years

so for sure, coaching is an issue

staley D is supposed to prevent the big plays but they've probably given up more explosive plays than any other team

Not probably, they have. That is what is so head shaking about what we are seeing.
