Chiefs, Eagles have fundamental differences from Chargers when it comes to team-building; LA's better comparison is last year's AFC champ
Whether it’s a coincidence or not, the Spanos Way isn’t embraced by the two NFL franchises that will contest the Super Bowl this week.
Chargers coach Brandon Staley impressed analytics believers in 2021, but this year’s uneven approach led them to question the franchise’s commitment to playing the odds. Chris Jones went 34 picks after the Chargers made fellow defensive lineman Joey Bosa the No. 3 pick and first non-quarterback chosen.The same holds true for Willie GayChargers linebacker and draft classmate Kenneth Murray, in whom the team invested two premium picks.
Subpar line play has fueled the Chargers’ inability to win the West title in 10 years under John Spanos and Tom Telesco, despite increased investments in blockers. Both teams had a good veteran QB with two years left on his contract. Where the Chiefs liked having Mahomes apprentice under Alex Smith, Telesco and Spanos doubled down on Philip Rivers and instead drafted Clemson receiver Mike Williams at No. 7.Eagles owner Lurie is Spanos-like in that his past three coaching hires were NFL offensive assistants and first-time head coaches.General manager Howie Roseman is hyperactive in finding transactional fits with any of the other 31 franchises.
