True that that true on having to lay some of the blame on L.T. but correct me if im wrong but wasnt turner your guys coach last year, and wouldnt you say that L.T.s numbers have fallen off since norv started coaching there?? possibly because he is a pass first coach. and to the alex smith thing im not like a lot of 49er fans and think we need the next coming of montana or young to win it all. i am saying if we got an offensive line that alex could get the job done to throw it deep you have to have time and alex just didnt get any time in the pocket, but when he did look at the connections to davis and crabtree and even gore that he made not like the wobblers that hill made detroit deserves him
woah woah woah! first of all... what is this "your guys" talk? lol
In no way shape or form am I a Chargers fan... I'm a Raiders fan and despise the Chargers with every bone in my body... maybe the fact that I was defending Rivers made you think that... but that just shows how dope Rivers is... I hate the guy, and still consider him a top QB in the league
with that being said... Turner started coaching the Chargers in 2007... that year LT had almost 1500 yards and 4.7 YPC... very productive season
yeah... his carries have declined... of course that's due to a pass oriented offense... but like I said before... yards per carry went down as well.... just watching LT it's obvious he doesn't have the same explosiveness he once had
now in regards to Smith and Rivers again... I'm not saying your wrong for having some faith in Smith... sure, if he gets more protection next season he might be GOOD ENOUGH... but to say you'd rather have Smith over Rivers just doesn't make sense at all
if you don't think Smith is better, then WHY would you rather have him over Rivers??
