What I don't get is how he puts their offense over the top. Their defense still looks shaky, even with Thomas. Their offense still trails the Colts and the Bolts; and their defense is not as good as Denver or San Diego's. All they are guaranteed in my opinion is an AFC East title, which is not that big of a deal lately.
I like Peter King's friend--can not remember his name--who said that IF Moss bounces back and has a huge year that he should LOSE HOF votes cuz it would show he was dogging it for two years.
BTW, as much as I love Charlie, I don't see Tom Brady as being any better than Manning (Pats fans conveniently forget that the Colts have a winning record over the last four games against them), and Rivers is just going to get better....and having the best NFL player on your team only will help him improve. To think that the Chargers were able to get 14 wins out of a QB in his first full season with a receiver corps that was basically McCardell, Tomlinson and Gates is pretty amazing. Of course, they picked up a terrible head coach to replace Marty. As a QB coach, Turner is amazing, but as a HC, he is awful, so it will interesting to see how the Chargers play with all the expectations on them this year. I still just don't see the Pats as Super Bowl champs. Just a playoff team.
