The fact that Tolbert left a perrennial playoff team that happens to play in the best weather you will ever see to play for a not so good team with a pass and run happy quarterback for LESS money…..things that make you go hmmmmmmm

Joetotonto has a serious mancrush on the Chargers. It’s actually quite sad. I’ve never seen a fan of another team be so quick to post on each and every post. Seek help Joe…..you’re not well.

I think it’s a good pick up. I was never sold on Tolbert or Hester as a FB. Atleast McClain has the size of a FB. Hopefully he can do the same job as LoNeal did when he was with the Bolts but that’s asking a lot. That’s like asking Mathews to do what LT did.

Does JoeToronto ever get tired of posting hate in Charger related posts?

Why do i have to keep reminding him hes a Raider fan and that they didnt make the playoffs because of the Chargers?

Hey Joe, the Raiders are smelling like 4-12

you should worry about them and not the Chargers

Norv Turner is a smart football coach, particularly in the offensive realm. There are not many that can do what he can from that perspective, & I was pretty sad when reports last year suggested he would be fired. I didn’t think that was the right thing to do. Just because the fans/UT writers are complaining, does not mean that is the best thing, & some of the criticism was ridiculous. If you have followed the team closely, it was obvious the yearly disappointments were multifactorial, & the best thing to do… Steady in the Ranks, & Reload. I am happy for him & his newest weapons. Spanos has something to look forward to, & when the San Diego Chargers win the Super Bowl, it will make it more sweet with all the hardship:)

The Chargers are on a mission in 2012 – to end the season with Norv Turner proudly hoisting the Lombardi in the Big Easy.

Welcome aboard the Super Bowl Express in San Diego, Le’Ron.

LOL at McClain being a “beast of a blocker” or comparing him to Lorenzo Neal. McClain is a good player, but he is not a pure FB and has had dreams of being a tailback for a long time.

He started a “McClain for RB” movement here in Baltimore, complete with T-Shirts and buttons he gave out to the media and teamates. His heart is not into blocking.

Huge pickup for us charger fans. Id love to see us pick up his good buddy jackie battle. Of course mathews will have a chance to shine. With a now beast of a blocker at fb. And getting more attention on touches with this high voltage offense. Love the pickup! Now lets get battle.

Le’Ron picked the right place to go if he wants to get a decent amount of carries. Matthews gets injured about mid-season on an annual basis

To me this shows a sign of getting back to the run game more often. When AJ smith was asked about the broncos addition of manning he said the chargers need to sustain longer drives and this will in turn keep manning off the field. Of course they also need to get stronger on defense. But it will be good to see the chargers get back to the old days with lorenzo Neal leading the way. Let’s hope the chargers pick up a mid round flyer on a running back, like ronnie hillman in the 4th?

“Those are two players we would love to have had back, but as you know, I throw around nickels like manhole covers” Spanos said.

I hope Le’ron finally finds all those carries he has been looking for since his 900 yd season in Baltimore.

2011: Year of the tight end.
2012: Year of the fullback.

Chargers = Superbowl. Running your offense through a fullback is genius…..if this is 1953
