It’s difficult to remain level-headed as an NFL fan; nowhere is this more apparent than with Chargers fans, who just watched their team wallop the Green Bay Packers on Sunday and lose to the Oakland Raiders just a few days later. One topic of conversation giving Chargers fans whiplash: Melvin Gordon.
Before the season, fans had no problem with Gordon, arguably one the fans most beloved players on the roster. Fresh off a season where he averaged 5.1 yards per carry, No. 25 (after the jersey number switch) looked poised for an even better year in 2019 with Hunter Henry returning to block and the internal improvements along the offensive line.
