    I had to search for a while to find it.

    That's a yellow lightning bolt, not a white horn .... a lightning bolt cap.

    Rancorous, heated off season argument commences.

      I think Ladd was the best possible replacement for KA, and could be said if he had been in a lot of different drafts. Very polished (and faster).

      KA: $23.1M salary + $11,617,500 (IIRC) dead money.

      Had the Chargers kept KA they would definitely be drafting in the top-10 again, and possibly top-5 again. With the money they saved, they have put together a pretty nice roster that I think can at least compete for the playoffs this year.

        Right below the com in thepowderblues.com. Those are Viking horns, not lightning bolts. Google News is to the left.
        Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
        The Wasted Decade is done.

          Younger and cheaper. It’s the way of life in the NFL.
          Do you believe our record will be better in 2024 because ultimately that's all I really care about!

            Oh hell yeah. At least 10 wins. And competitive in all games.

              BETTER.

              Many here can't see the forest (Chargers) for the trees (players). We have a much improved roster, thanks to trading KA, getting a 4th round pick, and adding $23.1M for free agency.

              If you prefer to keep KA over having a better overall roster, you have formed an emotional-attachment to Keenan Allen. Your ego is what is butthurt. You are completely unable, at this moment, to be objective.

                I'll share a couple of dreams I had.

                One is the game at KC in week 14. The Chiefs had 27 points. Chargers 25 points. The Charger defense caused a safety on KC, and tied the score at 27.

                The other is the week 4 game at home. A Charger player intercepted the ball from KC and almost ran it back for a pick 6 but didn't. It set the offense up in the redzone. The Chargers had 40 something points. With the redzone drive they wear getting to 50 points.

                    Pbbbbbfffffffft! <coffee spews from mouth> Better than 5-12?!? It better be!

                    10 wins sounds right to me. It's one thing to win when you aren't outmanned. It's another to win when you ARE outmanned! If you have Justin Herbert, you automatically outman at least half your opponents. It's what you do against the OTHER half that determines how far you get.

                    I like what I see so far, but while it's progress, it still isn't close to where it needs to be for serious contention.

                      You havent seen anything yet. You have no idea that they will not “seriously contend”. Withhold faith as you tell yourself you can, but faith lives in the heart of the chosen.

                      LFG!

                        perhaps I'm more optimistic than most, I don't see why this team, with this quarterback, and with this coaching staff can't win a playoff game next season...the defense is going to be much improved and the offense is going to surprise some folks, 11 wins and a playoff win doesn't sound far fetched to me especially when you consider what Harbaugh has done elsewhere, I do agree that they inherited a team with crap depth but they have already done a lot to improve that and they still have some money to spend and Hortiz brought that Raven mentality, they will be making moves if they feel it'll make them more competitive, there are still some decent free agents available to help fill holes on this roster if they feel that someone needs to be upgraded...
