Geez. No offense to the OP, but these types of threads drive me nuts. Its not the players guys. Adding "enter name here", or "Enter name there" isn't going to fix whats wrong with this team.
This team has NO DISCIPLINE. Its starts with Wade (and probably Jerry too), and works its way down. We have players (other than our safeties who suck way beyond just fixing").
This team needs a coach that WILL NOT ACCEPT EXCUSES. Someone who makes players accountable in ALL situations to themselves and their team.
All the Marvin Harrisons in the world aren't going to fix that. We have a big tub or lard for a head coach who simply doesn't make people accountable.
2 years ago during "Hard Knocks", what did he say in his pregame speech??
"Don't worry about the mistakes guys, the mistakes are on me".........
Those words still haunt me. I wish I had a boss like that, or a parent like that. Someone who will look at me and say "don't worry about anything....I'll take the heat if things go wrong".....
Well things have gone wrong, and they've gone wrong since December of 2007. We have been a .500 football team in the last 24 games. Let that sink in... A .500 FOOTBALL TEAM FOR A YEAR AND A HALF.
We are the "chargers" of the NFC. A ton of talent on this team (other than our god awful safeties), BUT NO DISCIPLINE FROM THE COACHES. Norv Turner is Wade Phillips. Those two guys simply can't get 53 guys to play for each other, and to defy all naysayers to go out on sunday and kick some ***.
Phillip Rivers = Tony Romo
LT = Our 3 headed monster
Thier O-Line = our O-line
They have no name recievers, we have no name recievers
They have a great TE, we have a great TE
They have a very good D line, we have a very good D line
They have a killer OLB (Merriman prior to injury), we have a killer OLB (Ware)
Jammer and the other guy (forget his name) = Newman and our guys
They are better than us at safety, and I don't even know who is on their roster, but it doesn't matter, the guys playing for Soutwestern Manitoba State are better than our guys).
The Chargers are CLASSIC underachievers. You know why? Cause they have a meddling GM, and a coach who is just happy to have a job. He puts no fear in anyone other than the ball boy. The identical situation here in Dallas. A meddling GM, and a coach who looks dazed and confused.
We ARE the Chargers. And both teams are letting some prime years of talent waste away on thier rosters, until someone figures it out and decides to bring in a coach who doesn't care about being "liked", a coach who only cares about one thing, and one thing ONLY. Winning football games.
Rant over.
