    If that is true, Marty is a bigger idiot than I thought. The guy held the NCAA record for return yardage when he went pro. He also had a receiving touchdown witht he first team (from Brees) against AZ and a long punt return against, I think, Seattle. The return was the longest ever for the Chargers... I mean it took the longest time ever. I think it was the only ball control kick return I have ever witnessed.

            AJ did not let Welker go- the damn HC did! NOrv made many fuckups on his final roster cuts where talented guys ended up on other teams.
            Because you didn't state the original head coach and you followed up with Norv's name, the reader could only assume you were talking about Norv in the first sentence. If you had used a transitional phrase like "Not only did Marty make a lot of personnel mistakes, but NOrv..." then you would have been okay.

            Did you know that I get paid $200 bucks per hour for teaching Japanese lawyers shit like this, but I like you so much I give it to you for free. :cheers:

                  ...purely worthless speculation on my part, but-here goes.

                  September 9, 2001-Chargers-v-Washington. Tim Dwight, all purpose receiver/speedster/ST demon returns Washington punt for a Touchdown on opening game day.
                  The game was likely the high point for the Chargers season; it also introduced the Chargers #1 draft pick, LaDanian Tomlinson to the NFL world.

                  The Redskins coach was Marty Schottenheimer, who inherited Tim Dwight four months later when he became Chargers coach. I suspect getting scorched by Dwight
                  closed Schottenheimers mind toward Welker. Toss in the questionable choice to revive Vanover's career, and Welker gets out-of-town.

                  Yes-there were other factors, but I can't see how that afternoon in September 2001 didn't play a part.

                      Yeah, but Welker came three years later. Dwight didn't do a helluva lot that year and pretty much nothing with the offense.
