I’d say the Chargers mediocrity is much more on the coach/organization then on a QB who averaged 32 TDs per year in his early 20’s.
Just look at the Raiders / Chargers last game of the year in the season before last. Herbert played maybe the most clutch game I’ve seen from a QB in years and lost. Down by 2 TDs late he hit multiple 4th down throws and threw a TD with no time left to put the game to OT. Chargers of course gave up a score in OT to lose. Goes as a loss on Herbert but he was amazing in that 4th qtr.
At some point, we have to allow teams to shoot themselves in the foot for bad contracts. If they want to pay 40-50% of their cap on a marginal QB, they should have to suffer those consequences.Yep, Brandon Staley absolutely SUCKS as a HC and is Much more to blame for his team's shortcomings than his QB is.
Having said this, I also now believe the time has come to cap individual player salaries at No More than 9.1% (1/11th) of a team's overall budget.
Giants could easily be replaced by Chargers. I’m a card carrying Herbert hater. Overhyped / has done nothing but go approx .500
Wasting that Bosa kid on Defense.Chargers might be the only franchise to have so much talent on the roster for almost 20 years straight, yet only win 5 playoff wins since 2004.

Seriously....those mid/late 2000s teams were absolutely loaded with talent but just couldn't get past the conference elite.Chargers might be the only franchise to have so much talent on the roster for almost 20 years straight, yet only win 5 playoff wins since 2004.

Oh well.
They've wasted a lot of players careers.Wasting that Bosa kid on Defense.
During the Rivers' years, LA sports talk would laugh at the Chargers always being the "hottest team in the NFL" or "the team nobody wants to face come playoff time", yet they routinely found ways to miss the playoffs. The band Godsmack wrote a song inspired by Rivers crying on the sidelines when a kicker missed a field goal and they were eliminated from making the playoffs. The song is called "Cryin' like a *****".They’re a unicorn in pro sports. No franchise has ever existed with this level of underperforming, choking, and disappointing. It was a foregone conclusion they’d lose after being up 28-0 when they surrendered the first TD.
That's an average of one playoff win every 4 years. That's terrible.They've won that many?
2006 was their year and had the game against the Pats. Marty was wrongly the scapegoat as there's video evidence that came out many years later showing him telling all the DB's that if they intercept Tom Brady late in the game, to just get on the ground. Marlon McCree really blew it for the team.Seriously....those mid/late 2000s teams were absolutely loaded with talent but just couldn't get past the conference elite.

Good.Losing to us in the 2006 Divisional, at home, still haunts that franchise.
