You and I must be among the relative few who can relate to several cycles of football, several cycles of Chargers building towards championship level teams.
I can remember in 1975, when the Chargers had an epic draft. My friend in the dorms at UCLA was the son of the Chargers Dline coach. His dad was big on Louie Kelcher. I was big on Fred Dean.
I have always been a fool for the pass rushers. Keith DeLong. Fred Dean. Leslie O'Neal. Shawne Merriman. Melvin Ingram.
As Fouts reminds us, the '79, '80, HOU, OAK failures were the worst. We were previously so bad. Then Tommy Prothro made epic personnel moves. Those teams were so talented.
Somehow it is entirely possible for me to feel more disappointed about these years, than about more recent underachievements.
Sick of this shit.
Let's get some in '19.
