Give #14 any decent OC available he'd do just as.good if not better than he already has been... sans OL troubles but better OCs would account for that.

EB is expendable, Sam it not.

I disagree. I know it isn’t the popular opinion but if Sam had time and the deep routes could develop nobody would be complaining about running the ball. It would actually open up the run.

Nobody complained about Don Coryell not running enough lol. I hope we become an absolute beast of a passing team with EB and Sam.

Ill also point again to KC’s offense. They have scored 30 points twice this year. Do not be so quick to get rid of EB. A better line will help take the top off defenses and open up the run.

My argument to this is what did the Chargers ever win? They sure had some really good teams back then, Coryell was a great coach, but they could never close the deal.

When you have an offense like this, sure it's great for numbers and all, but you are going to have days where passing the ball isn't going work- it could be that your opponent has a great rush, weather, injuries...

There are some exceptions of course but having a pass first at all cost offense generally does not mean winning a SB.

Sam is good enough to work w/ another OC. That is the least of my worries.

Sam is clicking and id hate to introduce him to his third offense in 3 years. Hopefully a new HC will lean on EB to balance the attack.

Im not denying the fact that he shys away from the run but if we had any semblance of a defense we would probably have 7 wins right now or more and this wouldn’t be an issue.

EB will either be the HC here next season or coaching offense/HC somewhere else. I just don't see a HC coming in and not bringing someone with him that he has worked with himself. Could be wrong, but I don't see him staying at OC here.

Not running enough? Did you forget Chuck Muncie
