I think the Chargers once when 9-1 and finished 9-7 and missed the playoffs.
Has a 9-1 team ever missed the playoffs?

Who in the last two draft classes would have helped us that we realistically could have drafted??? Cuz none of these guys that were drafted would be our savior right now ...

Sorry, but I like our chances against KC at home next week.

To be honest, I wouldn't mind a QB like Mettenberger.

Well they did say on tv after we beat the Lambs it's never happened if they were right
Mettenberger - Played 5 games 7 td 5 int 58% completion
Stanton - 6 games 5 td 3 int 53% completion
hardly a difference to claim he would be our savior right now.

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
Uh, where did you get your numbers from? Stanton has 7 games and 5 picks against only 6 TDs. Not good, not good at all. And I'm not reading anyone saying Mettenberger's our savior either.

Go Cardinals!
the answer is "no, 9-1 teams have always made the playoffs.
--that is until this year. The Cardinals are about to crumble and lose out.
so sad.

The game is so fast and complex that quarterbacks can't come in and prosper right away unless they are truly exceptional. And now, with the growing tendency for guys to come out early from college, after two or three years even at quarterback (to avoid the chance of injury), their capacity for contribution is even yet worse.
You'd have to find someone extraordinary, like Luck, or a highly competent player like Wilson who gets dropped onto the best roster in the game.
I really wonder what the brass thinks of Logan Thomas at this point. A fourth round pick is nothing to sneeze at.

Only chance I see for us is to win our 2 home games. But obviously its against 2 good opponents. We play like an entire different team at home (especially Stanton) and we are undefeated here. Hopefully we can find a miracle to pull off 2 more wins and let other teams make it in instead of us keeping us out!

Because I believe he has the skill set to be a successful QB. The fact that he plays for a terrible team is not his fault. Also, he's a rookie whereas Stanton has been in the league since 2008 and rookies will make their share of mistakes but the games he's been in he's been far and above way better than Stanton has been. Mettenberger has a 60% completion rate and is an 87.8 rating where Stanton is a 77% rating. There's far more upside with Mettenberger than there is with Stanton and Thomas combined.

I made the comment that I wouldn't mind having Mettenberger and we could have gotten him as he went in the 6th round where we drafted Thomas in the 4th which was a head scratcher when it happened. I think if we had him instead of Thomas we'd be in far better shape.

I know, but you didn't call Mettenberger a savior as the other poster claimed. And I agree with the Thomas pick being a weird one.
