    That said, they do invest money in the farm system. SD has even scrimped on that.
    SD is a farm system.

      Both.

      Anybody remember the good ole days when the Chargers were constantly among the last to sign their draft picks?

        The best way the team can get ahead of the curve in football, is just make the entire team a player developing machine. Make the entire franchise about getting players better and develop them so that when one guy leaves another guy steps up. It fixes any number of woes. Injuries, vets having poor seasons, FA losses..... It would even let them be more aggressive in FA, because you have the cap space to spend on outside players, should the need arise.

        But you think about the source, I don't think Forbes is as concerned about championships and playoffs as they are just being fiscally sound. They looking at it from the business side.

            Blame him for not trying to fill the stadium after he got the deal? Yes, yes I do.
            Prediction:
            Correct: Chargers CI fails miserably.
            Fail: Team stays in San Diego until their lease runs out in 2020. (without getting new deal done by then) .
            Sig Bet WIN: The Chargers will file for relocation on January 15.

              Again, after another big free agent signing (Franklin), when he has played, he hasn't played well. So we get left with a hole that we had counted on filling, and not only is it not filled, but we spent a ton of money not filling it. The only good thing is that it hurts Denver in that they had yet another hole to fill.

                  I'll tell you what... currently neither of us fall into the smartest spenders in sports category... we spend our money in a lousy franchise.... :duh:

                  (Just taking another approach at the "spenders in sport" term...)
