At least AJ left with some class, got to pat him on the back for that. Norv was pointing fingers like a 10 year old.
In 6 years with the Chargers, Norv never once took accountability for mistakes he made. Like AJ or not, he on several occasions took ownership for poor drafts
Yeah no kiddin, its a shame AJ didn't take the mic and start throwing people under the bus too...because that would have been better than just bowing out quietly and voluntarily giving an interview later where he admits all his mistakes.
AJ had the chance right here.. http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2012/dec/31/q-j-smith-bows-out-humility-humor-typical-evasiven/
I liked AJ's stance when it came to the team, no one is bigger than the whole. He just went overboard with it. Like the Stillers, you play for what they will pay. It's not a right to play for them you have to earn it on every single down or it's the dog house and they ain't afraid to put you there.
Too bad AJ didn't hold Clary, Buster, English and many others to that standard, let alone holding himself and Norv to it
I'm damn tired of "Club Diego" by the sea shore where it never rains and there is no such thing as a bad day. Deano needs to move the club facilities back to rough acres with no way out other than the team bus.
I would be surprised if both were not cut before March. We're now at a point in Clary's contract where its maybe $20 cheaper to cut him, and I think that money could be better spent buying Ryan Mathews a few gallons of milk. English, I believe we save about $2M for cutting him.
You know what's interesting. If Dean had fired Norv at end of 2011 season AJ probably would have survived and got the chance to pick his 2nd HC.
Until Chuck Noll went there (former Charger DC) they never had a winning record but he brought a winning attitude and a kick your *** defense in and changed things. To many charger fans don't want a mean defense that aren't afraid to take a shot if it means winning a game. They call it "Cheating", I call it playing smart and taking a penalty in exchange for a win.
Down near Boulevard they practice hard They look at strife with such disregard They say it can't be won Unless the ball is run But if you choose to play You get Dianabol every day! It's okay...
