Chargers thread

[Erect as a Bull]

The Patriots record was ty.

A lot of people said the Chargers would be Superbowl bound before the entire coaching staff was turned over, myself included.

Yea I thought so.
I was talking about the Pats not even being included to win the Superbowl.

They were a HUGE upset when they beat the Colts to win thier first game that year.

Thats why I was confused why you are comparing Brady to Rivers this year.

Brady was in his 2nd year and a complete Underdog.

Rivers is the AFC West favorite and were projected to have a great shot to win it all.

Pfffffffft.

Patriots:
Bill Bellichick - Head Coach
Tom Brady - QB
Charlie Weiss - Offensive Coordinator
Romeo Crenell - Defensive Coordinator

Chargers:
Norv "I impoded two teams" Turner - Head Coach
Phillip "I don't know which way is up" Rivers - QB
Ladanian Tomlinson - RB


Yea, I can really see the comparison there. Ladanian Tomlinson aside, the Chargers are nothing like the Patriots and to make that assumption is nothing short of brilliant stupidity.

I've never been a Patriot fan, but god damn, the comparison makes no sense at all.

Hindsight man. We didn't know about any of those guys before the '01 season. Not saying the Chargers are gonna win the SB, but they aren't out of it yet.

[TheTruth]

Brilliant stupidity?

No where did I make the comparison of this years Chargers to the '01 Patriots, I just wanted to point out that 1-3 is not the end of the world. But lets talk about the Patriots.

You speak of Belichick as if he'd had success before '01, yet he sucked coaching the Browns. You speak of Brady as if he'd had success before '01, yet he'd never started before. Are you telling me that after the Patriots 1-3 start that you knew they'd be succesful because of all the Belichick/Brady factor when both were unproven?

Yeah, let's talk about BRILLIANT STUPIDITY.

Oops, guess I should have finished reading the thread.

EXACTLY. MY POINT EXACTLY.

See you next week.

Hopefully I can change my avatar.

My response regarding the Patriots starting 1-3 meant the season isn't over for the Chargers.


You trying to compare the Patriots of 2001 and the Chargers of 2007 just made you look brilliantly stupid.

Belichick '01 = Turner '07
Brady '01 = Rivers '07

Now we can look at what's has transpired since '01, but that doesn't work considering the point I was arguing.

As much as I have enjoyed the Chargers sucking this season. The fact is they are 1 game out of first Place. And even if Denver beats them in Denver (which I think they should do) they would only be two games out. ANd lets face it the Chargers can get on a roll and make that up.

I am just shocked at how average the AFC West is playing.

sanity once again compares the chargers to the pats, like when he compared norv turner to bill belichick. How's that comparison look now???

At that point in Belichick's career, he and Norv are very comparable. Don't make yourself look as foolish as peewee, please.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Do I really need to pull up Belichick's record before coming to the Pats? You guys did watch football before the Y2K scare didn't you?

Belichick failed with one team before being asked to take over a team that everyone thought was on the decline anyways. Turner failed miserably with two teams before being asked to take over a 14-2 squad.

Belichick got his reputation from being a genius defensive coordinator/assistant HC for Bill Parcells. Norv Turner got his reputation because he's buddies with Troy Aikman.

I guess I don't see the similarities between the two.

[monosylab1k]

LMAO even more since Norv Turner's claim to fame is that he "develops" QB's and they have success with him.

Let's go through the list of successful QB's who played for Norv Turner -

Troy Aikman

that's it, just Troy Aikman.

NOW let's look at how many QB's were/currently are failures with Norv Turner -

Heath Shuler
Gus Frerotte
Brad Johnson
Doug Flutie
Kerry Collins
Alex Smith
Philip Rivers

this guy is ing GREAT with quarterbacks!

If he didn't have Troy Aikman pimping him to the media, Norv Turner wouldn't have gotten another HC job after failing in Washington.
