Jay Glazer: Chargers Have Officially Moved On From Rivers

[MasterOfPuppets]

...My guess is that Chargers brass, in order to look better in public eyed not look cheap, made sure Rivers could not succeed this season by not adding any capable OL, or any other adds after we had injuries like most other teams did. I've always thought Chargers would never ever be willing to pay any QB or player 20-25 million per year....... like most QB's are getting today.....

This makes no sense, which team would tank a season to get rid of their QB? and didn't Rivers make like 23 million last year?

This can't possibly be a serious take, can it? The owners, desperate to build fan support the year before they move into their new stadium, sabotage the team so that we suck and can let a player walk away at the end of his contract. Seriously?

If it isn’t true, the Chargers should immediately issue a statement refuting it. The longer it’s out there the longer the legs it gets. Their silence is telling

Welcome to the world of climate, I mean QB change deniers. If the narrative does not fit, let's just make one up.

NFL Network/NFL radio usually do not repeat stories like that unless they believe it has merit. Glazer lives in LA and has insider connections....... so I assume it will be confirmed by Chargers brass sometime after SB when they see fit, which is usually after late after everyone already knows......

as usual, it may take awhile for Chargers brass to actually admit that they are letting Rivers go. The decision was obviously made before the season when they stopped negotiating, yet i saw another report from shefter, that Chargers brass was meeting soon to discuss the issue. My guess is that Chargers brass, in order to look better in public eyed not look cheap, made sure Rivers could not succeed this season by not adding any capable OL, or any other adds after we had injuries like most other teams did. I've always thought Chargers would never ever be willing to pay any QB or player 20-25 million per year....... like most QB's are getting today.....

It was much Cheaper to give Rivers zero help and let him struggle and go..... and with no help on OL, no 2nd TE, no speed at WR, no power RB to replace Gordon while he was out, etc.... Rivers was doomed...... while loaded teams like KC added players as needed to help them succeed.......

Spanos thinks this makes it look like its Rivers' fault and not the fault of Chargers brass...... Chargers also did this with Seau and Harrison....marty put them in positions that were not the best for their skills so that both would look like they could not play anymore...... making it easy to cut them.....

Spanos has been the worst owner and organization in football since he bought the team...... no real effort ever to get it right...... they get a 1/32 cut of the massive TV deal even though they do nothing to deserve it...... so no reason for a cheap owner to spend money........

I think we will all be sorry when Rivers signs with a team that actually has an OL, and he is leading them into the playoffs.....

Bolts did that with Addae also...after they drafted Derwin, they moved Jaleel from SS, where he was at least serviceable, to FS where he was a epic fail...and then cut him...

Not necessary. They guy attributed with the "report" has already come out and said he wasn't reporting anything, just speculating.

There's always a vacuum of info with these guys. It's like the PR department was trained in North Korea.

James is obviously an order of magnitude better than Addae is, so they tried him at a different position. It did not work out, so it was time to move on. What is wrong with that?

Glazer, you hoser.

I do too..... it will kill me to see him leading a team with an OL into the playoffs next season....... but Spanos has always done whatever he wanted to do no matter how bad the decision......

You can't fix stupid.

But maybe this will be a win win for the Chargers and Rivers.

Rivers gets a fresh start with another team.

And the Chargers get the mobile QB that so many fans have been pining for.

I'm seeing Chargers taking Herbert on multiple different mock drafts.
