Why are the Chargers that much better?
I know I'm going to get a lot of flack for saying this and I even put money on the under for the chargers and the over on the chiefs because of this but I just don't see where they are that great of a team, especially with the changes.
Comparisons: QB Chargers - B/B+ (not elite) Chiefs C (average at best) RB Chargers - B- Chiefs A (may have best in league with combo) WR Chargers - C+/B- (with holdout) Chiefs C+/B- Oline Chargers - B Chiefs - B TE Chargers - A Chiefs - D/C ( still not sure on 3rd round pick) DL Chargers - B Chiefs - C/C+ LB Chargers - B Chiefs - B Sec Chargers - C Chiefs - B+ Spec Chargers - B Chiefs - A coaching Chargers -C Chiefs - B (with new off and def cord) I guess we will see Monday but I just don't see it with the Chargers this year, besides QB, they are very pedestrian and we are better in several areas. |

I know Norv's a smart guy and has been around a long tmie, but I find it hard to give that douchenozzle the nod in any sort of coaching match. I mean... it's Norv, fer crissake. |

Haley and Norv are both great OCs. Head coaches? Meh.

I wouldn't call Haley a "great" offensive coordinator. He was the OC in name only in 2007 and while the 2008 Cardinals had a potent offense, he had a HOF QB and WR on that squad (with Whisenhunt looking over his shoulder).
Haley certainly didn't look "great" last year and Norv in his time in the NFL has done a good job with far less talent. It's hard to dispute Norv's success in Dallas as an OC and in San Diego as a head coach. Has he won a Super Bowl as a head coach? No. But he certainly isn't near as bad as he's made out to be on Chiefsplanet. |

And if you're going to say that Haley had a HOF QB and WR on that squad.....then you also have to mention that Turner had Aikman and Smith on his team. |

That said, I don't think Haley has much on his resume to say he's a great coordinator, but there had to be some reason why his name was coming up for jobs before we'd even hired Pioli. And I think he's showing some signs that he might be a good head coach, although I'll be shocked the day he ever looks comfortable talking to the press. As for why San Diego is better, I would say it's because they've consistently been the team of the division for 5 or 6 years, while we've swirled the bowl, and the only important piece they've lost there is Tomlinson. We're rebuilding, and they're already built, basically. I do think, however, this is a great opportunity to take one. They're down a couple of integral starters, and they have a tendency towards slow starts to the season. Unfortunately we tend to start slowly, too. |

One of the best things going for the Chiefs on Monday night is that they're playing the Chargers in September -- and we all know how terrible SD is in September.

The only thing that matters in this game is how Gates does against your LBs and Safetys. He has a good game, we win, he doesn't, you win.

I would be more concerned about the Future HOF TE who is still in the prime of his career, who is faster than LBs and stronger that Safeties....but thats just me.
