What makes this loss suck even more

People have been saying that for 4 years now. Chargers are just bad. McDaniels and Harbaugh have done more with less. They just be organically bad just like Dallas. From the top down.
Haven’t both their starting tackles and starting guard or two had like season ending injuries several times in the past few seasons? Not saying they don’t have other problems-but their current woes would not seem the same if they were healthy. I don’t follow them that closely.
 
Jeremiah Smith is projected to be the first pick. Why would they trade out of that?
Answer: If some team wants the top QB and needs to move up, they might offer 4 first round picks plus others. Those are the trades that completely change an organization. One elite player does not trump 6-7 really good players. Unless it’s the QB.
 
Just go back and look at when the Cowboys were good. Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson, Bill Parcells, and a little bit of Fat Mike. But fat Mike was limited by the new build through the draft limitations. The others weren't. Get a coaching staff in here with skins on the wall that can operate without ownership interference and we might have a shot.

Hurt or not....0-5 would indicate there's a bigger issue.
 
It was absolutely asinine that Jerry offered or let the Jets talk him into giving the higher of the 2 picks.

Knowing Jerry, though, he put that out there on a silver platter and they jumped on it.
 
Mike McDaniel was supposed to unlock that offense and take it to the next level. I know they have oline problems, but wow have they underperformed with their talent.
Herbert was never that good. Overachieved his first couple years. He's terrible.

Nobody is offering it for any of these guys they all look like mediocre prospects. Especially Arch. Jeremiah Smith looks generational. You don't trade from that.
