Why does everybody think the Chargers are so damn good?

Every year, everybody on earth predicts the Chargers will be 14-2 or 13-3 and go to the AFC championship game and/or Super Bowl. Every year, they continue to suck and disappoint.

This year, they had no major offseason acquisitions, they are coming of a 9-7 non-playoff year despite an easy schedule, and they appear to have a much tougher schedule this year. 7 out of 7 NFL.com "experts" predict they will win the division, which may not be a huge stretch, but you would think at least one soul might pick the defending champion Chiefs.

But the icing on the cake is that the latest NFL.com poll asks, "which team do you think will win Super Bowl XLIV?" Our choices? Packers, Saints, Patriots, or Chargers. The defending AFC-champion Steelers are not even a choice. The Eagles, who had one of the greatest off-seasons in NFL history, are not even a choice. Even the media loverboy Jets are not even a choice.

The Chargers are clearly one of the best 4 teams in the NFL? Even though they couldn't even win the second weakest division in all of football last year with a cake schedule? Even though they lost to the Seahawks, Raiders, Rams, Raiders again, and the Bengals, arguably the worst team in football last year?

What, my friends, is so damn impressive about the San Diego Chargers?

Alot of people are actually projecting the Chargers to rep. the AFC in the SB this year. I don't know really how they improved that much from a 9-7 team last year. However as long as they have Rivers under center they are the class of the division. However they were only 3-3 in the division so I don't think the gap between the Chargers and the rest of the division is as great as all the Chargers fans think.

You guys should go read some Chargers boards.

They are freaking out about their defense and quite honestly, who on that defense is truly elite?

They don't have a Hali, apparently their rookie is getting pushed around, they bitch endlessly about their middle linebackers.....

It's the same story every year. We've been hearing it over and over and over again.

Charger fans take the shit and run with it because most of them know dick about football. They're lemmings. They just follow along with whatever the Media tells them.

I think they have a good shot at winning the division, sure. Beyond that? Pfffff....

Odd...All i keep hearing about from them is that Takeo Spikes is going to rape faces and Bob Sanders looks like the Defensive MVP that he use to be.

However, if you actually watch the games, Spikes looks mediocre, I haven't really even Noticed Sanders and yeah, their rookie is going to get ran on.

He's Tyson Jackson rookie year bad against the run. He doesn't look that bad against the pass though TBH.

I feel the same way. The media is made for "regular average fans". Honestly I get tired of hearing these average fans that I go to school with talk about how bad our Dline will be this year and how bad Belcher needs replaced. Some also feel Richardson is a huge upgrade over Gaither at RT. It drives me crazy.

I do feel that with Rivers the Chargers have a good shot at the division. But other than QB, which I know is the most important position,at what position are the Chargers better than the Chiefs?

Exactly. You could argue O-Line and obviously TE.....but beyond that? Pfffff.....

The Problem is the difference between Cassel and Rivers is so wide. Rivers makes them better. Cassel makes the Chiefs worse.

yep. spot on.

TBH I think if and a big if Gaither is healthy and plays RT to his talent level, our o line is better.

I like alot of the things the Raiders have going for them. The rookie rb you have looks good. Your dline is scary but I just don't see how you got better this offseason. I still think it will be tough to beat you guys especially in the hole but i just can't justify you improving enough to win the division.

The national media has a love affair with the Chargers.

I do think the Chargers are still the class of the division, because of Rivers, but it wasn't that long ago, '06 I think, that they finished 6-10 and they were declared by the national media to be the best 6-10 team ever.

I know Chris Berman has a huge hard on for the Chargers. It pisses me off watching NFL live.
