    Come on man -- you know that is bull shit. At best, at best, they were a 7 win team with Herbert for the entire season

    When Herbert got hurt, they were 5-8. He got hurt in the Denver game - at the time losing I think. Buffalo, I think they lose even with Herbert. Thursday against the Raiders - -Herbert would have played better for sure. They probably beat Denver in Denver with Herbert, I give you that one. And the last game, Chiefs were resting players so who really gives a shit. So maybe 2-2

    That 7-10 - that not good.

    Why can't thinking they have had a good offseason, the right HC and GM and the right path forward - why is not that optimistic enough?

        Good enough for who? I’m disagreeing with you, i didnt say you have to agree with me. You think at best 7. I saw the same team win 10 in 2022. We shall differ.

          Difference is, a shitier OC than Lambo....and a worse OL coach?
          Again I think if JH and Minter has the same team as last years we win 9-10 games.
          We almost beat Buffalo with Stick.

              To be fair to unbelievers, he's probably going to be wrong two or three times in that regard but it won't be for lack of effort.
              I'd be more worried if Harbaugh or any coach went into games thinking they were automatic losses....

                This commentator says Packers IDL Kenny Clark might be on the chopping block because of his salary and a plethora of good young IDL players on their roster. The dude may be way off base, but if he became available as a FA, 1. could the Chargers afford him and 2. should they pursue him? IDL is still a concern for the Chargers, with Otito Ogbonnia penciled in as the starter at NT. Clark, a 3 time Pro Bowler (including last season) at NT for the Packers with 34 career sacks from the interior (7.5 last season) will turn 29 in Oct. He's also been pretty durable, missing a game or two here and there, but never had a season-ending injury or missed more than 3 games per season. He's missed only 1 game the past three seasons. It's just this guy's speculation, but he would really solidify the DL, the defense and the roster if the Chargers were able to land him.

                  But I will go on the official record as (hopefully) your future Mayor of JimTown and say: there are no games we are expected to lose
                  I like that! Its a change of attitude!...and expectations! Who's got it better then US!!!!?

                    I am not talking about 2022. I am talking about last year

                    When Justin Herbert got hurt, they were 5-8 - FACT
                    he missed four games - they were 0-4 - FACT
                    The best they could have done with a completely healthy Herbert for 17 games was 9-8

                        No, if Crusher was back, it would be a long rant about why did we let T-Billy go...although, to tell the truth, Crusher did make some valid points, though he could be somewhat bellicose, bombastic and truculent at times...

                          I'm afraid Kenny Clark may be a bit too expensive for us. He's the kind of player Trader Joe would let go at the end of his contract for a 3rd round comp pick:
