Philip Rivers 'permanently' moves family to Florida from California

Earlier this week, Ben Higgins of ABC 10News in San Diego reported that Rivers and his family had left San Diego to move to Florida. The quarterback confirmed that in a text message to ESPN on Sunday morning, saying that he has...

Is it time for the Chargers to burn it all down and start over from scratch?
The Los Angeles Chargers are a franchise in disarray, and the winds of change are blowing strong as a rebuild appears to be on the horizon. The big picture: After a failed move to Los Angeles, the Chargers followed up a 12-4 season with a 5-11 campaign and have no true starting quarterback on the roster heading into 2020. So is it time for the team to blow it all up and do a full-on rebuild, or should the Chargers re-sign 38-year-old QB Philip Rivers and hope next year is different? Here, we...

Antonio Gates appreciation: The tight ends, the touchdowns, and the stats of a great career
Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports
Antonio Gates' last catch came on January 13, 2019. It was a divisional round playoff game in New England vs the Patriots, who posted a worse record than the LA Chargers (12-4 vs 11-5) but who were allowed to host thanks to winning the division, while the Chargers were relegated to a wild card spot behind the Kansas City Chiefs. Of course, the Chiefs were also 12-4, having gone 5-1 in the division instead of 4-2.
There are many moments that if changed would...

Daily Links, 1/17: Tomlinson writes piece supporting Gates' Hall of Fame bid
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports
The NFL playoffs have just two more rounds left for this season (question: is it "halfway" through the postseason right now? Because on one hand it's the middle of the four rounds but on the other hand we've cut down from 12 teams to 4 teams, so is that more like two-thirds of the way through? Just a debate I'm having with someone) and the LA Chargers are not involved this year. So be it, there's plenty of exciting stuff that happens in the offseason...
Offensive Line is the biggest need for the Chargers according to PFF
In a recent article by Pro Football Focus' Ben Linsey where he listed each of the 32 NFL team's biggest needs, the Chargers were once again pegged with their biggest need being the offensive line.
Here is what Linsey had to say about the position as a whole:
"The Chargers' offensive line has been the biggest deficiency on their team for some time now. They haven't had a team pass-blocking grade ranked higher than 26th in the league since the 2014...
Assessing the Chargers offensive line
Check out any piece of the written word that attempts to describe why the Chargers fell short of expectations in 2019 and you will likely find some version of "the offensive line was was horrendous" or "Rivers had no time to throw or a run game to take the pressure off."
At the heart of the fan base's frustration with this past season, you'll find a steaming hot mess stemming from the lack of consistency and performance by the hog-mollies up front....
