If San Diego wants to be a contender everyone who is supposed to be next level talent has to perform that way. I put Rivers, KA, and Gordon in that category. On top of that our O-line has to stay healthy and become cohesive. If that happens we are a playoff team. Of those three RIVERS is obviously the most important, having a good backup is irrelevant because if he goes down so do our hopes. After Rivers though Gordon is the next most important. As good as KA is, if he gets hurt Rivers can mask it a bit in the passing game for a short time. Gordon on the other hand needs to take a burden off Rivers by being that bell cow back.
He won't do it without improvement off his terrible rookie season. He needs to memorize his responsibilities in protection and protect the ball when running. Additionally the O-line needs to protect and make holes.
When you have a team with limited top-talent you have to maximize it and the Chargers can't afford to have a failed first round pick at this point in time.
