Why the battle for LA is already over

[Legatron4]

I've followed the Chargers for 20 years and let me tell you they are a pathetic organization that continually underachieves. Tom Telesco is a micro-manager who can't draft. His last couple of drafts were slightly better because he began to follow the lead of outside paid scouting services. His own ability to evaluate talent is exceedingly poor. He's been "trying" for years to upgrade the o-line and has failed. People here who think the Ram's o-line isn't good should look long and hard at the Chargers' line. They have some of the worst linemen as starters you will find at this level. That's why I've been saying to shop Havenstein to them because even as bad as he played last year he's still better than Sam Tevi who graded out as undraftable as a rookie yet guess who drafted him. They also need DB's who can play their zone scheme so Hill again is a perfect fit for them. Two players with manageable contracts for a 2nd round pick? Hell yeah considering the Chargers pick near the top of the round. It would also immediately clear the Ram's cap deficit.

Every year the pundits overrate the Chargers and every year they disappoint. This is the organization that squandered River's prime years and fired a HC who went 14-2. This is the organization that simply cut Jr Seau and Rodney Harrison without so much as a thank you. Both had to hear it on the news. This is an organization that routinely lies to it's own players and the public. Dean Spanos is a joke and has his own franchise on the brink of bankruptcy. The team that couldn't fill a 27K seat soccer stadium with it's own fans, instead forcing their team to play every game as a road team has won the battle of LA? They averaged about 12K Charger fans per game and that's being generous. It's going to be really ugly when a 70K seat stadium is filled with only 10K Charger fans and the rest with opposition fans.

Mods should lock this troll bait thread.

Not a troll my dude. Just sharing how obscene the other side can be.

Sure is a lot of charger bashing. However, sadly, the guy who wrote the article did use actual "facts". Those facts are cringe worthy. Logo - Sucks (actually, super sucks!); Tons of players gone; Over the Cap Space; And god only knows what the new uniforms will look like. If I was a Charger fan, I would be touting the Chargers rule too!

Dude, they can't fill a soccer stadium, even with opposing fans.

I think that was because they were in a soccer stadium.

You don't think fans will go to see them at the new stadium, with new unis, and new players?

No. Unfortunately, there are probably more Raiders fans in SoCal than Rams fans. The Charger fanbase was deserted in San Diego. That was true in 2016, and it's still true today.

Seriously, if fair weather fans want to change to become Charger fans because they don't like our new logo, they can fukking die as far as I'm concerned. They were never really Rams fans in the first place.

Many fans are not Loyal Ram fans!

Wait. You get the chance to watch your NFL team at a reduced rate in a small venue and you would use that as an excuse not to go?

Yeah... That would be like having an opportunity to see your favorite band up close in a small auditorium and not going because there wouldn't be enough people crowding around you.

Yeah.... No.

Disagree. More like going to a high school game vs. NFL in that stadium!

While I see your point, I can't imagine people in LA not taking advantage of the exclusiveness.

You could say that about a lot of areas but LA?

Not with me. I thought that small venue would have allowed me to see a closer version of athletes doing what they do. I would have gone to a Rams game if:
1. I lived in SoCal
2. I could afford it
It would have been fantastic. Even so, the Chargers couldn't fill it...lol

My office manager's husband is a huge Green Bay fan and she's a Miami fan.

I buy them tickets occasionally as a bonus.

I bought them 3 tickets to Rams v. Green Bay last year. Was $1k including all the extra fees.

I went to buy them just two tickets last season to GB v. Chargers. The cheapest ticket...the cheapest at that mini stadium, was $380. It was over $1k with all the extra fees for the two tickets.

I sat through season tickets with the Rams in Anaheim. $800 for 5 seats...for the whole year!

I didn't buy those GB tickets. 2 tickets for $1k...NO WAY!

The battle is in fact over and it’s official, they lost.

I've followed the Chargers for 20 years and let me tell you they are a pathetic organization that continually underachieves. Tom Telesco is a micro-manager who can't draft. His last couple of drafts were slightly better because he began to follow the lead of outside paid scouting services. His own ability to evaluate talent is exceedingly poor. He's been "trying" for years to upgrade the o-line and has failed. People here who think the Ram's o-line isn't good should look long and hard at the Chargers' line. They have some of the worst linemen as starters you will find at this level. That's why I've been saying to shop Havenstein to them because even as bad as he played last year he's still better than Sam Tevi who graded out as undraftable as a rookie yet guess who drafted him. They also need DB's who can play their zone scheme so Hill again is a perfect fit for them. Two players with manageable contracts for a 2nd round pick? Hell yeah considering the Chargers pick near the top of the round. It would also immediately clear the Ram's cap deficit.

Every year the pundits overrate the Chargers and every year they disappoint. This is the organization that squandered River's prime years and fired a HC who went 14-2. This is the organization that simply cut Jr Seau and Rodney Harrison without so much as a thank you. Both had to hear it on the news. This is an organization that routinely lies to it's own players and the public. Dean Spanos is a joke and has his own franchise on the brink of bankruptcy. The team that couldn't fill a 27K seat soccer stadium with it's own fans, instead forcing their team to play every game as a road team has won the battle of LA?

Lamp & F from 2017 a bunch around here wanted to draft. The Rams drafted Zero O”Lineman.
Rumor Chargers might trade up ??
