The Oakland Raiders have played in Oakland for only 20 years. They spent 12 years in Los Angeles from 1982-1994. During their time in Oakland, they have yet to win a Super Bowl but are moving in the right direction with QB Dereck Carr and DE Kahlil Mack. Oakland is still a losing team in a tough division and maybe a change in scenery will lift their spirits after so many years of sucking.
The San Diego Chargers have played in San Diego for 54 years. They spent only their first year in the AFL in Los Angeles in 1960 and have played in San Diego ever since. They have never won a Super Bowl, and they are falling apart as QB Phillip Rivers cannot put together a winning season even with helping from supporting cast WR Kennan Allen and HB Melvin Gordon, but it is not his fault entirely. The defense has never been able to stop their rivals offenses. Peyton Manning, Alex Smith, and Dereck Carr all get their way with the Chargers. The Chargers may need a change of scenery along with some plastic surgery of the rosters to be able to even consider competing again.
The St. Louis Rams have played in St. Louis for 20 years. They spent 48 years in Los Angeles from 1946-1994. During their time with St. Louis, they won a Super Bowl in 1999. That was awhile ago, but they at least have some good history behind them unlike the other two. St. Louis has a good team set up. They have a new HB in Todd Gurley, a all-around WR in Tavon Austin, and a defense that ranks quite high. They need a QB still because trading for Nick Foles did not pan out (not like QB Sam Bradford would do much better), and QB Case Keenum is not the answer. They could use a change of scenery and a new QB to be a fierce competitor.
The best option though, is probably the Chargers. Oakland is putting together a decent team and actually may have a decent shot next season as making playoffs with Denver becoming indecisive with their QB and Kansas City relying heavily on their defense to get the job done. St. Louis has a great team coming up. Their bad season was a surprise considering the decent team they have set-up. Hopefully, they get a QB next year, and they can compete in their tough division with Seattle and Arizona. The Chargers needs a change. They have been in San Diego for over fifty years and have failed. They need to rebuild this team from the ground up with a new face in a new location.

I agree with you. The Chargers are the best bet. They have rebuilding to do and have a couple of "sucky" seasons ahead of them. But the owners of the Chargers will love the fact that no matter how sucky they are...a new stadium in LA will bring the crowds no matter what.
