2. Los Angeles Chargers already off to a humiliating start
Instead of the Oakland Raiders being the laughingstock of the AFC West, the Chargers one-upped them big-time. First, they finished last in the division with just five wins. Then, they launched a hideous new logo after announcing their plan to leave San Diego.
The fact that they’ve been losing in recent seasons is unfortunate considering the Chargers have one of the most stable and healthy quarterback situations in league. Phillip Rivers has thrown for 9,178 yards and 62 touchdowns the past two years. Right now, that amounts to a hill of beans because only nine wins came along the way.
Now, Rivers and his teammates face a cumbersome move to relocate to a temporary home in Los Angeles. This, at a time that the Chargers need the support of their fans the most. But that’s not what is happening.
Besides a swift move across county lines, the Chargers will be debuting Anthony Lynn as their new head coach. Lynn is already famous for botching his opening presser with foul language and referring to the team as “San Diego.”
He will have the giant task of coaching a team on the move and a roster that housed 14 players on IR by last season’s end.
