Bleacher Report | Jan 25

New Orleans Saints quarterbacks coach Joe Lombardi is reportedly "tracking" to become the new offensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Chargers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Per that report, new Chargers head coach Brandon Staley played "quarterback at Dayton after Lombardi used to coach the defensive line there."

Albert Breer of The MMQB added that Lombardi was also Staley's offensive coordinator at Mercyhurst for Staley's one season playing quarterback at the school and that "the two are close.

Lately we have had enough talent on the team to move up to get an impact player that we covet. It looks like we'll need to trade back and acquire draft picks for Ireland to bring in talent that fits the team. As was mentioned earlier we can afford 2nd day players. First rounder? Maybe.

Exactly - move the big contracts off the books, and have more rookie contracts as we're too veteran-contract heavy...

The Lions tried that once.

Joe Lombardi was despised as the Lions OC. He was awful. I guess I’m a little concerned about having a new starting QB with a new QB coach.

Well... according some here, we're going deep on every play anyway. We just need the horses and the arm.

C'mon, it's been Payton-Brees since '06; it'll be about Sean and QB to be named...
