N/S The 00s San Diego Chargers (1 Viewer)

Can we just marvel at the fact that the Chargers had a QB battle between two HOFers, a HOF RB, and a 14-2 head coach and still weren’t able to make at least a Super Bowl appearance?

Mostly bc they fired their coach after a 14-2 season. Who does that

We're really going with this Philip Rivers is a HoF QB??

As a former charger fan, that 14-2 team in 06-07 should have won the Superbowl. They had the Patriots beaten but McCree just had to fumble the game winning interception. They definitely would have beaten the Colts the next week (they always owned Manning) and the Bears in the Superbowl.

Norv Turner was a horrible coach. Merriman was never the same after the Titans targeted his knees and he tried to play out the rest of the 07-08 season.

After they let Jerome Bettis in, I just assumed they will let all above average players in

I counter your valid point with: but Bettis was unique and played for a team that people liked.

Bettis in his prime was unstoppable. He truly was what his nicknane stated a Human Bus.

Unstoppable? He only had 3 years with the steelers where he had over 1200 yards.

And he's the 8th leading rusher in NFL history. Right ahead of Dickerson and Dorsett. And he rushed for more TDs than either.

Haha, I been wanting to say this.

They fed him the ball. His yards per carry are awful. Can’t imagine anyone in the HOF with less.

Terrell Davis: 7607 yds 60tds
(to this day I have no idea how he got inducted into the hof - yes I know his career got cut short due to injury. but do people get inducted on "what could have been" stats?)

He was a major part of the back to back Broncos Super Bowls.

For me, thats a "longevity" stat to give bettis an argument. Much like frank gore.

MAYBE just one year you can say he was a top 3 runningback?? His resume to me does not scream HOF

With that logic next you'll be telling us Eli Manning should be a first ballot HoFr...
