Lightning Storm of Frustration: Why the Chargers Need To Rebuild and How

 With the Chargers losing a fifth straight game, it seems like as every week goes by, the fire under AJ Smiths' seat is starting to burn up. Before the season started, the praise that Smith got for signing big-name free agents (well, not really) led up to the talk that once again the Chargers would win the upcoming Super Bowl.  

Now at 4-6 and in the cellar of the AFC West, most fans have become frustrated, disgruntled and have given up hope in their Chargers. Being a Charger fan myself, it is so FRUSTRATING knowing the damage this team could have done. But when your favorite football team is led by a moronic idiot who is called "an offensive genius" when his team can't even lead a two-minute drill, scoring minimal points becomes a common occurrence.  

Even Philip Rivers, one of last year's best passers, has thrown 16 interceptions. I know they have been riddled with injuries, but that shouldn't be used as an excuse to lose games. The problems with this team goes farther than the team itself, it goes into the management and ownership. Dean Spanos seems pretty content with the Chargers as long as they bring in revenue. It is time to rebuild.
