Tom Telesco’s Results in 9 years as Chargers GM:
- 69-74 record
- 0 division titles in 9 yrs as GM
- Worst record among all active GMs with same tenure
- 6th worst winning percentage among all active GMs overall
- 2 playoff wins despite elite QB all 9 yrs
- Team still has the same weaknesses (Oline and run defense) that it had when hired as GM in 2013
- Consistently puts together horrible depth, expects starters to never miss games

When you are picking at 17, you can't know who might be gone until you're on the clock. What if New England or Dallas had traded up with Washington, and stolen Zion from us? We would have been forced to pick someone else. Maybe Elam was one of our contingencies, if our more preferred choices were all off the board.
So the Charger brass had a good notion of value.

I think they were too ******* stunned to do anything. And a singular incident like that won't happen ever again, concerning Justin Herbert.
Or the famous 4 Miami Dolphin pass rushers meeting up together simultaneously at the point of space in which Rivers was holding on to the football.
Poor PR.
With the Steeler, that happened super quick and Herbert was well down the field. A wide receiver tried to extract the swinish Steeler.
Steeler fans complemented the thug for caring.

So glad we got this guy and not Penning. I think Penning is a penalty waiting to happen.“Less is more? NO NO NO - MORE is MORE!”

I agree on Sids and Coryells OL's. I wish our line would get a little nastier. It pissed me off when that Steeler guy punched Herbie in the stomach and our guys did nothing. Can you imagine if he did that to Fouts? The linemen would kill him.
I almost quit the NFL after the 2006 superbowl in a game where two TDs were taken away from the seahawks, the steelers “won one” with the help from the refs for the bus in detroit, gimme a break! What a load of crap that game was!"The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

Its interesting because Elam went around # 24, before Booth, who drew more draftnik interest.

Pennalting? I would rather take Zion of Green and lock down pro bowl caliber play at the lesser OG spot than average play at RT. We’ll see if Penning can become pro bowl level and prove us wrong. I don’t like guys that look great against sammysmall school scrub competition. That PFT doesn’t account for competition level in their algorithm leaves it worthless at college level unless you are comparing two guys on rival teams in same conference.

Walt Sweeney was one of the players my mom sold a house to. His wife was a firecracker and ruled the roost. haha. They lived by Granite Hills in east El Cajon. He was quite a physical presence. I remember after games he always had a bloody crack on the bridge of his nose. It was there every time. I also remember I worked as a box boy at Alpha Beta on Second street. He would come in and shop. There was one check out lady who would almost faint when he was there, she was infatuated. Last I saw him he had a book signing at JP's bar and grill in Tierrasanta shortly before he passed away. He had a bad drug and alcohol problem that he accused the league of causing. He was a good guy. RIP Walt. Theres another old story for ya Chargeroo.

One more quick Sweeney story. He split his pants out on the seam in the rear end in one game and kept on playing, mooning the fans every time he took his stance. Finally, the sidelines shuttled in a guard, he came off, and the trainer or equipment guy just taped a towel around his waist, covering Sweeney's butt, and back into the game he went.
