Steve Young is not bullish on the Chargers.

The NFL Hall of Famer joined Tolbert & Copes on KNBR in the Bay Area, and discussed his thoughts on the franchise being rudderless, with the Chargers set to play the Niners on Sunday.

“The Chargers are neither fish nor fowl,” Young said, as covered by NBC Sports Bay Area. “If you think about the top-echelon teams, especially in the AFC, Kansas City, Buffalo, Cincinnati, and the Dolphins now, they are all teams that are well-coached, innovative and are going to throw their way there. And they’ve got the personnel and they’ve got the quarterback and the coach, they’ve got all those things and that’s why it’s going to be tough. And the Chargers are not that team.”

Young is high on Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, but not on the talent and structure around him.

“They don’t have the weapons, they don’t prepare that way, their offense isn’t built that way, they’re not a 2022 innovative offense, they’re not,” Young said. “They have the guy, Justin Herbert honestly is … I really do believe he is generational like Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. He is that guy, but I don’t believe he’s got the help.

“He’s not getting (the help) philosophically, but he’s also not getting it with talent. But also, strategically, who are we? Who are the Chargers? Offensively I mean. Offensively they’re … I don’t know.”

Young compared the Chargers to the Cardinals.

“The Chargers show up and they’re a little more like the Cardinals,” Young added. “I always kind of make fun of the Kliff Kingsbury-Kyler Murray kind of wing-it offense and I feel like the Chargers are that way with less of a plan. You can tell I’m not for the Chargers and I think they’re not doing a great job of taking care of a generational talent and I’m worried about that.

“I’m worried there are people there who don’t understand it, don’t understand what needs to happen and they’re being lapped by other teams who do.”
