I thought it could be fun to specifically contain all the upcoming Charger predictions in this thread that you know are coming.
This Charger Ball Washing season is going to be especially good. If they keep saying it for twelve years in a row it eventually has to be right one year?
The latest:
.@AdamSchein explains why @chargers QB Justin Herbert is going to be the next Aaron Rodgers.
"Herbert is worthy. It's not crazy to say that Justin Herbert is off to the single-greatest start ever in NFL history at the quarterback position." pic.twitter.com/EcGT0kCBjK
Marcus Spears picked picked the Bolts and Dan Orlowski picked the Donkeys to win the AFC West while the hottie Mina Kimes picked The Chiefs on Yesterday’s show of Nfl Live. [Reply]

Never.
Until they prove it on the field for a full season and quit 'Chargering' it up . . . .
That Top 10 list from Peter King is ridiculous. Chargers at #2!?! Who the fuck would even put them in the Top 5?? I'm not even sure they're better than the Bengals? A fully healthy Ravens squad? Probably not. You could maybe slot them ahead of the Eagles for now.
No one will take the Chargers seriously until they can take a full season of NFL football seriously. [Reply]

And how bout winning a fucking playoff game with your supposed top 3 QB.. [Reply]
Experts: 'The Chargers team depth overall is so good and they've got a Top 5 QB in Herbert'
Reality: In 2 years as the Chargers starter Justin Herbert has led his 'great' team to a *checks notes* 15-17 overall record with zero playoff appearances.
Yes, he's talented. You know who else was talented and made unbelievable throws? Jeff George.
Look that name up Chargers fans if you don't remember who that is.
(who am I kidding, there are no Chargers fans here anymore) [Reply]

IMO, Herbert's career is going to parallel Rivers'. They'll have some good teams, and he will pass for a butt load of yards and throw lots of TD passes, BUT... [Reply]
#Chargers QB Justin Herbert is currently the betting favorite to win MVP (+550), and Brandon Staley holds the second-highest odds to win Coach of the Year (+1400), per @betonline_ag.

Ranking NFL 2022 'Triplets,' Part II: Chargers edge out Bengals for top spot; Chiefs slipping
4. Kansas City Chiefs (Avg: 4.5, High: 2, Low: 10)
QB: Patrick Mahomes RB: Clyde Edwards-Helaire TE: Travis Kelce
This is the first time Kansas City is outside the top 2 since 2018, Mahomes' first season as the starter -- and it's likely not due to anything the Chiefs are lacking. There are just a few trios that have become so electric, so quickly, that having a running back whose efficiency has been questionable and a tight end who is on the wrong side of 30 (while still being one of the best in the NFL) was enough to knock them a few spots backward, and to prevent them from getting any first-place votes for the first time.
1. Los Angeles Chargers (Avg: 1.8, High: 1, Low: 4)
QB: Justin Herbert RB: Austin Ekeler WR: Keenan Allen
The Burrow-Chase connection figures to be one of the NFL's best for a long time, and was nearly enough to nab Cincy the top spot in our rankings. As you can see from the average rankings and the fact that both teams only received votes between first and fourth, our panel considered these two teams the clear cream of the crop, a step above Buffalo. Herbert's remarkable first two seasons, Ekeler's breakout as maybe the league's best pass-catching running back, and Allen's year-to-year consistency are likely what earned Los Angeles just a single more first-place vote than Cincinnati, and made the Chargers the No. 1 team in this year's Triplets Rankings.
