5 stats that prove the Chargers made a mistake bringing back Brandon Staley
It was supposed to be different with new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. People would finally take Brandon Staley’s Los Angeles Chargers seriously, Justin Herbert would push the ball downfield more, and a talented roster would finally come together to play like a legit Super Bowl contender.
Clearly, anyone who bought into this hype has never heard of the Chargers’ evergreen approach to professional football.
We are two weeks into the 2023 NFL season, the Chargers have scored 50 points, Herbert looks like he’s still one of the league’s best quarterbacks, and they’re 0-2 after losing 27-24 to the Tennessee Titans. Womp womp. After last year’s playoff collapse to the Jacksonville Jaguars, if Staley’s seat wasn’t already burning, it’s white-hot now.
Let’s dive into a few alarming stats about the Chargers’ early-season disappointment to show they probably made a mistake bringing Staley back.
