And if you blame him for Brees, Turner, Sproles and the way he handled VJ who turned down $3.2M to try to scare this team into paying him... hey I can't stop you from burying your own head in the sand, but don't go changing history to suit your argument. AJ probably does deserve to be fired, but not for any reason you have given today.
Haven't been watching but WTF Rivers throwing a great game and throws a pick-6.. And the blocked punt what in the world?! come on.. that's 14 points that should be off the board.. Defense has to come up with a stop here..
Sick of losing games we should win. Was that rollout a designed play or rivers on his own? Cause he was running right as soon as he got the snap
I know you are a realatively new fan. Let me educate you. Brees was pressing for a LTC for 3 seasons. So yes, AJ was to blame for that. I understand why they did not sign Brees. That does not cover AJ for the conflicts that made it to the public with a popular player. No mitigating that. AJ did not have to sign Brees, but he didnt need to make it a public fight either. Turner wanted to be the starter. We had LT, I dont blame AJ for not keeping him. But since he left we have got other RBs but none of them have played to Turners back up levels. I blame AJ fully for the level of talent falling seimingly each and every year. We can agree to disagree if you are so inclined. Sproles wanted a LTC for two years, instead he got tagged and that was it. Am I upset Sproles left, no. I am upset that a player that was a big impact player was ignored. Was Sproles last two seasons here, no. But how much of that is because he felt that the Chargers were not going to show him the loyalty they wanted Sproles to show them. It is a give and take. AJ cant make his conflicts public, he needs to work at keeping the other players engages and wanting to stay here. If he doesnt then he has failed. That is my very strong opinion on the subject. Feel free to disagree, that is your option. But working with players does not mean aquiessing to them.
The Bolt's need a big defensive play. I'm pissed and River's should cool his arse on the bench, he ain't bigger than the team.
So can the Chargers pull it out? c'mon prove me wrong for saying "Game/Set/Match". I tripple dog dare you!
The Chargers will not be able to keep up with the broncos. The Broncos are getting stronger. The Chargers are getting more chaotic.
I blame the season on the worst oline I've evevr seen....which I. Blame on aj for getting the pieces....rivers has b een throwing under durress for months
Hope is what leads us to this kind of self torture, hope has kept me watching and now to continue with my masochism I'll watch until the end.
Chargers are going to have to start rebuilding this team. It may have to start with a young QB. I am not sure Rivers has enough years left to survive a multi year rebuild.
Brees- A public fight? You'll have to elaborate. (A nice way of saying your inventing things that didn't happen) BTW 2004 was Brees' first good year, 2005 was his "prove it" year. AJ handled it perfetly considering we'd already drafted Rivers. Turner - You made my point for me, money, business, and poor fit for Norv's offense aside...he wanted to start, which was not going to happen when this was still LT's team. Sproles - Sproles was not an impact player when he left (you trying to change history again) it took 2 full weeks for the Saitns to scoop him up and they didn't even pay him that much. If AJ doesn't handle the media well I could care less. I care more than he wasted draft picks and hired the wrong people.
I think I'm giving up on Rivers. The dude is a detriment with his inability to buy time. Most immobile quarterback in the history of the NFL. He either gets sacked or throws a poor pass that is often intercepted when he starts to run. I'm not blaming the line too much today. Rivers just walks around with cement shoes.
