Brees was very raw at this point, really his first 3 seasons the team and him were growing together, they end up with rivers after drafting Eli, but then rivers was very raw and Brees ended up being very good in 04 and 05, bad Chargers luck kicks in both years (Nate Kaeding, etc, and Brees gets hurt at the end of 05 and they don’t re-up with Brees. They instead went with the unknown quality in Rivers, over someone they viewed (like Marty Schottenheimer) as damaged goods. AJ Smith came in and took all the credit for using the cap space from not re-signing Brees to build a superteam around rivers, meanwhile rivers couldn’t handle the the playoff game and the secondary melted down in epic fashion against Brady late, with the db fumbling the pick after Marty told him to slide seconds earlier on the sideline (see Marty’s a football life!), Marty gets blamed and is canned. Just like they blamed Brees ultimately for not beating the jets and then missing the playoffs despite the comical similar type meltdowns in those years. In 07 they have the team AJ Smith and the Spanos want: Philip Rivers who is good but nowhere near Brees who goes on to lead the saints to the nfc title game his very first year in New Orleans, the same year the Chargers choked at home vs Brady, and Norv Turner as head coach, a guy who still gets jobs teaching qbs how to pretend to be Troy airman from 1992. And that folks is how the Chargers ended up with no fans and in LA less than a decade later. And I’m an outsider. Imagine how painful this must be to a San diegan.

stealthiscool the team was still super talented but norv Turner was not the right guy and he didn’t get nearly the most out of LT. People are wrong for blaming LT for sitting in the championship game, he had a torn acl lmao. Yes Philip Rivers played on a torn acl in the same game but he is a pocket passing qb, compared to one of the quickest cutters in nfl history. Ridiculous argument. Norv turner wasn’t the guy he underutilized lt and then lt got hurt anyway. He tried to turn LT into a guy to set up play action. Which is basically what the patriots had been doing to the league since 2004 with Corey Dillon and AJ Smith wanted to copy it. But right as he copied it the style instantly went out of fashion for a good long while, as several teams notably the cowboys and patriots shifted to up tempo offenses in 2007. Despite that fact, wade Phillips was dallas’ own norv turner-Chargers hire. Dallas avoided making that same mistake that offseason as Jerruh smartly didn’t reach into his past with norv; but he hired the wrong guy anyway. Jerruh is just a media savant while aj Smith was an asshole and nobody liked him, an example of how equally bad decision making can be offset by amazing pr lol

Shows us how stupid Spanos was then and how stupid Spanos is now.....Rivers wasn’t even supposed to be apart of the plan tbh....it was the GM showing Marty I can do whatever I want with this team and draft whoever I want. Showing that the GM was indeed a cancer because the team did play for marty back then but stupid chose the GM over Marty. Shows how much of a beta that Spanos was and still is

Also really like how you included the projected stats from the game with the pace he was going at. Really was tearing it up an rightfully so broke the TD record

We may play in LA and be called the LA Chargers, but we'll always be from San Diego, and we'll always be called the San Diego Chargers.

It's always wild seeing in these older games how much of the offensive game would still be around today (of course the offenses in this game were in many ways ahead of their time, Dick Vermeil especially). You see a lot of things that are considered fairly modern features from the last 10 years or so, like using RBs as receiving threats on routes downfield and having non-RB's in the backfield. Then again nearly every snap is under center, so that's always a funny reminder -- absolutely wild how it took so long for that to become accepted by the NFL old school

Anybody who payed attention to football back then knows that, it was like how TO and Randy Moss, or Urlacher and Lewis were the two best at their position. It was common knowledge. Anyways, many consider Emmitt the best. Best runningback of all time is a hard thing, from person to person it differs. Some say Brown, some say Smith, some say Payton, some say Sanders. It's pretty much divided between those four, that's just a fact. Remember this isn't about what you feel, this topic is about the opinions throughout the population. Nothing I've stated is from how I viewed things, it is just how the majority of others did. As for me, I mainly just cared about defense back in the day, Roy Williams was my guy.
