Why are the Chargers that much better?

[synthesis2]

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.

Underestimate Crennel Power at your own risk, Mr. Mecca.

It's no different than Chiefs fans who always underrate QB's because we've never had one in most of the people posting here's lifetimes.

It does,I believe. Since he's the best QB in the division and we're a QB starved team and we face him twice a year, his status gets a little inflated. Puttin' the Pussy on a pedestal, so to speak....

I'd love to hear about all these QB's that are better than Phillip Rivers.

Favre is better, but nobody likes him because of his offseason BS every year. Doesn't take away his talent. Schaub is a better QB, as is Romo, even though I don't like him, the dude has talent. I may even take Roethlisberger, too. (eh, probably not; maybe two years ago)

Whatever guys, it's my opinion and probably wrong. This is CP after all

I stand by it regardless.

By this rationale you predict/expect that Matthews will be better than 3 of the following: Chris Johnson, AP, Rice, MJD, Gore, Steven Jackson and Turner? Greene, Mendenhall, Charles and Stewart are all possibly better as well.

Doubt it.

Pretty high expectations expecting a rookie to be a top 5 RB before even playing one game.

The Chargers are a lot better simply because they have better overall personnel than the Chiefs. Just look up and down their roster and compare you'll see they have better players than ours.

We all know the Chargers are better until proven otherwise that's no question. Also, we all know Arrowhead will be rocking Monday night, the players will be pumped, etc. The question is are the Chiefs good enough to ride that energy to a win? We all know if this were last year it wouldn't be possible. They could've been taking acid and Red Bull while the Chargers hit some of that purple drank and the Chargers still would've whooped us. It will be interesting to see Monday night. I'm excited to see if we are good enough to ride that electricity.

I still think the Chargers will win, and are better, but anything can happen, especially in a loud stadium.

Watch this video if you think otherwise.

I don't think Romo is better than Rivers, neither is Schaub. I'd rather have Rivers than those guys, just me though.

Rivers imo is a top 5 QB in this league.

Sure, but Matthews was the perfect fit for that team and was an absolute terror in college. Since they've (the Chargers) been offensively schemed for LT, it's a perfect opportunity for Matthews to come in and have the team not miss a beat. RB is probably the easiest position for a rookie to have success with and it's a perfect scenario for both Matthews and the Chargers.

You never know how things end up, but if anyone has a chance to put up huge numbers as a rookie at running back, Matthews is the one I'd bet on.

I like Matt Shaub, but you're right.

No way in hell Shaub and Romo are better than Rivers.

Because they actually have the players to play a 3-4 and draft base on BPA at a positional need regardless of character issue and more so actual in game athletic talent.

If he's a B....then is Cassel even in the alphabet?
