In a game in which the Chargers were hot and the Chiefs were reeling, with playoff implications on the line, Rivers came in and threw 3 ghastly interceptions to basically end the Chargers season. Time after time Rivers has proven to be one of the least clutch QB's in today's NFL. Hell, maybe ever. Remember the Halloween goal line fumble? the list goes on and on. |

Honestly the Chargers have probably done the best job in the draft (AFCW) over the last 3 years.
They have very few weak areas... |

Meltdown sounds about right. People love/hate him because he's emotional on the field. Problem is, that emotion lends itself to erratic play when the pressure gets high.
The 3 interceptions he threw last season against KC were the type of throws you'd be mad at a rookie making. That was essentially a playoff game for the Chargers. And he melted down completely. |

The Chiefs have drafted better than the Chargers over the last 3 years and this couldn't even be a discussion at all if not for their #3rd overall pick Joey Bosa. Here's a list of notable players drafted by the Chiefs over the last 3 years: - Marcus Peters - Mitch Morse - Chris Conley - Steven Nelson - Chris Jones - Demarcus Robinson - Tyreek Hill - Patrick Mahomes - Kareem Hunt The Chiefs as we know have not had any high pick lately.

so many things wrong with such a short post if you actually knew anything about your own team , you would know that 'moving away from alex' is much lower on the totem pole of reasons we wont win as many games next year.....than say...blowing up the defense..... also, i dont buy the argument anyway that you stick with a middling QB to avoid some inevitable growing pains of what is essentially a 1st year starter... of course mahomes will make some mistakes that alex wouldnt have...this year....but his future ceiling is why we got him...not to win 9 or 10 games instead of 8 and fizzle out in the playoffs again...and furthermore thats NOT under achieving..thats kind of a given with a guy who has played 1 NFL game that was essentially meaningless. and by the way we never won anything 'of note' with alex nor would we ever have...but we might with mahomes and that IS why we got him jesus |

Absolutely.
John Dorsey did not have a lot of success with early round picks. Look at where the talent on this team came from. Whut? |

I'll say this. The Chargers front 7 is either overrated or people just don't realize that it is not so strong. Obviously, they have great players in Bosa and Ingram but for the rest, they are not even in the same planet as teams like Minnesota, the Rams, Jacksonville, etc.
I like the Chiefs front 7 better than the Chargers', going into next season. Plus, Liuget is suspended for 4 games. I am really not sure that defense will be as good as some say. Their secondary is very good though, sure. |

All the QBs in the top 10 in passing TDs are, or will be, in the HOF. Rivers is 6th. (Unless Rivers is the only outlier) I'm not saying Rivers is a lock, but to say it's not even borderline seems a bit biased. |
