NEW YORK (AP) - Comments on the San Diego Chargers by the AP Pro32 panel (ranking in parentheses): --- SAN DIEGO CHARGERS (21) Chris Berman (ESPN, 19) - Eleven sacks and Antonio Gates passing Lance Alworth in team touchdown receiving annals. Clifton Brown (Sporting News, 20) - The real action for this franchise will start after Week 17. Cris Collinsworth (NBC Sports, 21) Rich Gannon (CBS Sports/SiriusXM NFL Radio, 19) - AJ Smith's stubbornness has hurt this organization, change is coming. Bob Glauber (Newsday, 21) - One more week until the Norv Turner era is over. At least he can take some comfort from a solid road win against the Jets. Rick Gosselin (Dallas Morning News, 22) - Hard to believe an offense with Philip Rivers at the helm could rank 29th in the NFL. Believe it - offense has been one of many flat tires for the Chargers in 2012. Clark Judge (CBSSports.com, 22) - Another late-season rush by Norv Turner ... only this time it's about a month-and-a-half too late. Ira Kaufman (Tampa Tribune, 20) - When Norv Turner walks off the field Sunday, it will be an emotional moment. Pat Kirwan (SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com, 21) - The Chargers are in the conversation when the term underachiever is used. That being said, I could make the case the talent is overrated and there is a rebuilding process on the horizon. John Lynch (Fox Sports, 21) Alex Marvez (Foxsports.com, 22) - Scrap-heap wide receiver Danario Alexander (36 catches for 624 yards and six touchdowns) is this year's version of Laurent Robinson. Dan Pompei (Chicago Tribune, 24) - They are playing their best football of the season when it's too late to matter. --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL
