Mathews could be back as early as Week 2. The Chargers’ season opener is a cake walk so it doesn’t matter who carries the RB load.

hump has been bumping his gums all summer over this game. Beating the Raiders must be a mountaintop moment for Charger fans.

No way Norv makes it a whole season. Gonna be hard to watch as The Chargers will be around 6-10. Last place. Same old Chargers. Too bad we cannot fire the owners. They are the problem. BTW, Mathews is a joke! Wuss

Dude…..time to get in Norv’s face for more touches!

With Gore, Jacobs, Kendall Hunter and Lamichael James I think Dixon is the odd man out, hes a good power back that could complement Brinkley until Mathews comes back in week 2 or 3 then cut Brown

The new Tolbert. He should finally get a chance to carry the rock again (that’s why he choose San Diego).

Don’t forget Antwan Barnes. He too was a Raven and only had 11 sacks last year in limited appearances.

Oh wait…

McClain has power and Brinkley has a nice burst of speed.

Brown has neither.

First it was Gaither whose proven that he can play when he wants but now that he has his money he’s back riding pine. Then they pick up LeRon who had a good year a few years back solely due to a great O-line (there’s a reason after his probowl season nobody signed him as a rb and instead had minimal carries as a fb/5th string rb) and well JJ… he’s great don’t get me wrong, they just big time overpaid.

Unfortunately, we got stuck with the worst Charger of all…Cam Cameron. Ouch.

The alleged greatness of Norval’s signal calling has been about as inspiring as bread mold. Another solid move for the Lord of No Rings.

For example, Carolina has Stewart and Williams. They could go for Tolbert…oh wait.

And 1 pass attempt…

Hopefully they can pick somebody up to back up Gaither other than rookie Harris. Maybe they can after the 75 man cuts.

If the Chargers start this guy I feel bad for the fans in SD.

Trade for a RB now.
