While this season is looking like a lost cause, there is reason to be hopeful in the Chargers future:

1. Herbert is really good. Drafting a franchise QB is tough to do. We got ours without seemingly too much effort. After 3.5 seasons he has shown he’s an elite QB that can keep games close. Just up to the defense and the rest of the offense to get us to the W.

2. We have some young talent: Slater, Tuli, Palmer, Dicker the Kicker, ASJ, Darius Davis. These guys have made an impact right out of the gate and some can keep growing to be top 10 in their position.

3. Keenan Allen is showing he still has a few years left in him. Of course it would be great to get a 1B to take off the load but for now he’s able to carry this team with the help of Herbert.
