Can the Chargers Win the AFC West? | MARTIN WEISS & VJ HUSKEY 

Reasons not to sleep on the Chargers 1. They have one helluva O-Line 2. The RB room now has at least 2 legit starters, possibly 3 with Vidal. 3. The Chargers have a top-notch special teams unit in the first season of the new rules. 4. They have Justin Herbert, an elite QB that can make good WRs great 5. The Chargers lost Williams and Lindsley (pro bowl center) and Herbert injured his thumb early in the season. Yet they lost 10 games by 1 TD and 7 of those were by a field goal or less. 6. The Chargers have a weak schedule this year 7. The defense has holes but it also has Mack, Bosa, Derwin, Colson (knows this Minter Defense), Dupree, Perriman, and ASJ. The tackling is gonna be way better. 8. The offense has Alt, Slater on the o-line, Gus Bus/Dobbins at RB, Ladd, Palmer, QJ at WR, and Dissley and Hayden Hurst at TE (blocking TEs). Gregg Roman is going to give Herbert a running game to take the pressure off and his numbers will go up because his WRs will be more open because defenses will have to respect the run. And he will likely not have to throw from his back 9. Staley's coaching staff lost the room. The team quit on him. This guy was known for bone-headed calls and he mismanaged Derwin. The teams was seriously talented yet when injuries hit, the drop-off was catastrophic because he wasn't really coaching. It's easy to win with all pros. Coaching shows up in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th string too. Moreso even. 10. Jim Harbaugh has literally been a winner everywhere he has gone. Harbaugh with that team last year would have won 9 out of 10 of those 1 TD games. He's won everywhere, taking those programs from worst to first in the first season he coached them....with lesser talent. Alex Smith was a bust when Harbaugh arrived in SF. Kap wasn't on anyone radar for QB. And how did he fare after Harbaugh left. And I would venture to say, Herbert is waaaaay better than either of those two. A lot of people focus on the talent lost. Keenan will be missed. Williams and Lindsley when healthy were as good as anyone. Ekeler was very good for what he did. But people are not paying attention to the new additions to the team. These are not the same old Chargers. They'll absolutely be in the playoffs in 2024 season.

The chargers aren’t worse than last year. Everyone thinks that Harbaugh is just one guy but he brings with him a caliber of coaches that Staley(and most other HC’s around the league) just can’t hold a candle to. Every position improves alone by that

Idk if they take the afc west But for sure they making the wild card

Chargers almost best the Chiefs numerous times with a out of depth coach Now we got us a real one so fingers crossed

First year harbaugh record at Michigan was 10-3

Chargers 10 year reigning paper champs

I'm so excited for the chargers to shock the world

Man I just want them to get to the playoffs idc if it's winning the west or whatever even a wild card I be happy

No

Every year we hear this. Every year.

All facts but the chargers are better than you think

Huh funny kinda like how Herbert doesn’t play defense

They CAN...!!!!

Canaries die quickly from lack of oxygen, hence the “Canary in a coal mine”, analogy.

I could've saved you 15 minutes to come to the conclusion..no. they'll be battling the Donkeys for 3rd.

Gonna have to be patient and just let it happen over time.

Only way chiefs win the division or Super Bowl is if they get the most obvious referee help like they did last season

Who the Chargers gonna throw to? Who’s gonna run it? The beat up ass backfield from the Ravens? Naa

Hell yeah

The chargers are Taking the afc west division.

Chiefs have the same luck as the Patriots had. Great QB with the worse teams in the same division

No! Chiefs Earn Another AFC West Title.

CHAAAAAAAAAAAARGERS

2016: Can the Chargers win the West? 2017: Can the Chargers win the West? 2018: Can the Chargers win the West? 2019: Can the Chargers win the West? 2020: Can the Chargers win the West? 2021: Can the Chargers win the West? 2022: Can the Chargers win the West? 2023: Can the Chargers win the West?

the only way they win the west is if patrick mahomes gets injured and has to miss most of or all of the season other than that chagers aint winning the west their ceiling is wildcard birth and not a embarrassing playoff loss like last time they made the playoffs

not if they get blown out by the mighty raiders again fk the chokers

It will end Chiefs, Raiders, Chargers, Broncos

the D WILL bring a storm. Raiders will smoke the afc

Jim harbough factor is way overrated!!!

The Chargers are NOT ready to compete in 2024! This is a way bigger lift than anybody wants to admit. Their cap situation was so bad they had to trade away their only weapons. Then re-work deals with Mack who’s at the end and Bosa who’s living off his brother’s reputation. They’re massively overpaying James for how they use him. QJ looks like a bust, Palmer is a JAG, Dobbins and Edwards are always hurt. Herbert may do enough to save them once he has some talent to work with. The defense has been one of the worst in the NFL for 3-4 years and unless Minter has some magic fairy dust they’ll be below average again. This is WAY closer to a full rebuild than people will admit because of Herbert and Harbaugh. But his big boy money kicks in after this year and he’ll have to win with less around him. Hasn’t done ANYTHING with a stacked team around him, this will be interesting. Feels way more like 8-9 or 9-8 than even sniffing the playoffs!!
