If winning, going 10-7, sneaking into the playoffs, and praying that the other guys team bus breaks down on the way to the stadium is what you want, Chris Ballard could’ve signed someone like Sam Darnold or Kirk Cousins and given you that. Heck, if the O Line was healthy, we’d be 7-7 and poised to close out the season with three more wins.

I know that a lot of people are unhappy, but Shane Steichen has been on the job for less than two freaking years. No one in their right mind fires a coach based on how they perform over that short a span.. With any luck, Jim Irsay will look back and remember the two decade long shit show that ensued when his father began firing head coaches, and general managers willy-nilly.

Ted Marchibroda can tell you exactly what that’s like. He lived it ...... Bob Irsay fired him after he lost a pre-season game.

5 weeks ago, I made this post about what we need (and what we may or may not get) from Anthony Richardson in the long-run ...... and in order to see whether or not that will come to fruition, we would have to give Richardson at least another 2 full years as our starting quarterback.

Rivers was not mobile, Anthony Richardson is mobile ...... so if Anthony Richardson can be 80-85% of the quarterback that Philip Rivers was, add the mobility, and this team could consistently win between 11 and 13 games year in and year out.


Oh yeah ...... a head coach that was not a complete imbecile would also help.
