[quote=desmond]Norv gives one last middle finger to the fans as they beat a pathetic Raiderless team thus assuring a lower draft pick. Probably no big deal, the Chargers would have traded down anyway to avoid paying more if they would have won(lost).[/quote]
What am I missing here? The Chargers finished 7-9, the Raiders 4-12. Had the Raiders won, the Chargers are 6-10 and the Raiders 5-11. The result had no bearing on their relative draft position, so I’m not sure I see the Chargers losing to the Raiders comment.
On the other hand, given the log jam of teams at 7-9 and 6-10, the Chargers may very well have been 5 picks better in the draft had they lost (I’m not going to run any numbers; it is just my guess).
And no, they aren’t moving to LA. At this point, it seems that a return of the Rams is the leader in the clubhouse.
