The Chargers wide receiver room is in a tough spot. Of course, you can point to the lack of talent on the roster and how these receivers are performing.<\/p>\n

A team that is desperate for improvement in the passing game is not willing to move off of certain players for said change. This may seem unreasonable at first glance, but when looking deeper at each situation, it gives more reason for why the coaching staff has yet to make a change.<\/p>\n

A log jam of sorts.<\/p>\n

The Chargers Wide Receiver Room – Trying to Make Random Pieces Fit Together<\/h2>\n

The way that the room is assembled has disallowed the Chargers from giving superstar Justin Herbert true weapons to throw too. A complete lack of a true “X” receiver<\/a>, an abundance of slot players, and opting for stubbornness rather than change are all ingredients in a disastrous recipe that is the Chargers passing attack.<\/p>\n

Ladd McConkey – The ONLY Guy<\/h3>\n

Without McConkey, this offense genuinely could be the worst in the league. The only player on this Chargers offense who can convert third downs reliably and turn major yards after catch into explosive plays is a rookie who is being worked into the ground.<\/p>\n
