Unfortunately, we have reached a point of the season where the best thing that can happen for the Chargers is losing the rest of their games. With Justin Herbert injured and the playoffs out the window, if things break correctly, Los Angeles could be near the top of the draft. Dan and David Buy and Sell the biggest Chargers storylines and overreactions like: Will Easton Stick be able to win a game? Winning would hurt the Chargers draft stock and if the team makes the risky decision to play Herbert, they have winnable games. The guys also get into First-Round pick Quentin Johnston is coming off his best game of the season, showing some crucial progress late in the year. For the Chargers players like Johnston are what’s most important for the rest of the season. It’s time to let the kids play.

Finally….Herbert needed to sit and reset because he was horrible this year. Sad he got injured but a good thing.
Stupid take.
There is no way they get to 6. 8 or 9 is best case.
I’ll never encourage tanking. They have a shot in the tournament, that’s all that matters. If they’re eliminated, then let the players play for their contracts AND play spoiler for the opposing teams!
Unless the Chargers get a different OL, Herbert should be on the shelf.
I've been rooting fir the tank for about three weeks now, as I saw the writing on this wall early. Glad to see everyone else is catching up.
i don't care if they tank or not. they could have the 1st overall pick and they'd fuck it up completely.
I realize the need to bring up all possibilities but 'tanking', in my experience is very hard to do. I played football into my early 30's at the semi-pro level and would rather not play than play to lose. IMHO we won't move far from the 8th to 11th pick. Let's hope 4 teams in front of us need a QB. If we go into the draft at 9th this scenario would essentially put us at #5.
Thx for your work this season Gents. I really thought we'd almost be assured of a playoff spot and getting ready for a deep playoff run.
No, it’s not time to tank. It’s time to get rid of the coaching staff.
Chargers need a complete overhaul & have to fire the whole coaching staff, kellen moore was a very bad hire he has to go along with the rest of coaching staff, that's all.
Bring in Jim Harbaugh next year not only chargers wiĺl win the division but also they will be a legitimate superbowl contender in a very first year of Harbaugh at the helm but we shall see that happens.
I believe in Harbaugh very much so that he will drastically turn the team much much better that it is now with that Pathetic Staley.
Hopefully that cheapskate owner Dean Spanos think it over.
Has to be the biggest let down in NFL history with what we have on paper to start the season.
Darius Davis at quarterback lol.
Our only option in the draft round 1 is Bowers or McKinstry.
If we get a top 5 pick Telescope will find a way to screw it up
You guys sound like Cowboys fans when Dak went down. Moore is a master at scheming to the strength of the QB. Cooper Rush went 5-1 when Dak was out.
Chargers Owners have proven, they are NOT good at selecting people to lead their organization. They need to get Help as A Consoltant from people like Bill Parcel or Bill Polian or some one like their stature to Assist them on selecting their Next GM and HC. This Ownership is just NOT Capable of selecting The Right People.
We finally saw 17 Philip Rivers and 85 Antonio Gates and 21 LaDainian Tomlinson. The San Diego Chargers triplets were finally together at SoFi this past weekend.
It was awesome to see them. 14 Dan Fouts was in the house. Even 37 Hank Bauer was there. We missed 12 Stan Humphries and of course 55 Junior Seau. RIP.
Sell QJ. Trash.
If we do we need to draft Kool-Aid Mcinstry on priceable
TANK
The only thing is that stick might be a bigger threat in the beginning than people think.
Just because he’s a runner and running qbs strength is that they perform okay with bad protection.
Now that Easton is handed the keys to the offense with the same oline, rb’s, and receivers – good luck and stay safe, Easton.
Tanking is the goal without it being too flagrant and with all the injuries and terrible coaching they can get it done.
Been saying this since the cowboys ! The whole point to firing your coach is to tank… Spanos's are trash !
This is why as fans we have to be realistic when it comes to personnel and players.
Yes we want to support and cheer on anyone wearing the Chargers uniform but gotta call it like it is not necessarily in a negative way but realistic way.
I knew when they hired inexperienced Staley it was a mistake just didn’t make sense when in a ALL IN window mode when we needed a Experienced HC because NO time for learning mistakes in that situation.
Talesco, Staley always talk in interviews in a nonchalant manner as if they r proven winners with a lot of past successes yet they have nothing to show for.
SMH! So frustrating just want to see this team succeed and finally win a Super Bowl.
Sad truth is if we really want to lose out, we should stick with trying to win. We’re more likely to lose more games that way.
With the teams coming up….They won't need to tank..they are that bad….especially without Herbert,,,
