In the two games against us he looked like a guy that can make highlight throws, but isn't in the Trevor/Burrow/Allen/Mahomes conversation.

Its Staley
That team/franchise has no identity

He's not as good as Pederson, but he's not completely horrible. They had the right gameplan at the start of the game, anticipating what the Jaguars would try to do, but in the end, once the Jaguars made the adjustments, we started dominating them with (I believe) lesser overall roster talent.

The whole game reminds me of a sports focused anime I saw a long time ago where one guy had a great gameplan to make the other guy play to his weaknesses, and talked some [BLEEP] about it while they were facing off.

Then suddenly the plan stopped working for a few plays in a row and the other guy smiled and told him he had actually been playing to his strength the whole time, and that he had just been toying with him for fun. He then proceeded to come back and win the match in dominating fashion.

The chargers thought sitting on short routes would stop Trevor's strength, but Trevor actually wants to throw down the field, and is good at it. The reason Trevor throws so many short passes is because most teams focus on not letting Trevor throw over them, and try to make us have long drives.
