Telesco Ranked #11 GM Per Rotoworld

[Cdn Bolt]

Kudos from RW. It has taken a while to get our fairly complete roster and the OL is still a concern but some praise is deserved.

11. Tom Telesco, Chargers
There are two ways to look at Tom Telesco's six years on the job. The first is that he's had a Hall-of-Fame quarterback to build around and has only two playoff wins to show for it. The other is, he has produced four winning campaigns and now boasts one of the league's deepest rosters. Telesco has drafted at least one Pro Bowler or All-Pro six straight seasons, including defensive linchpins Joey Bosa and Derwin James. Even first-round running back Melvin Gordon has proven worth his selection, while Day 2/3 picks Hunter Henry and Desmond King are helping to fuel the Chargers' renaissance. Largely quiet in free agency, Telesco has focused on extending his own draft finds. He has done all this for an adrift organization that will soon be playing in its third stadium in five years. Although he is as anonymous as his franchise, Telesco's work deserves recognition.

Why do I sense that TT's entire fate
rests on Forrest Lamp ?

[beachcomber]

slow and steady wins the race.... the man has his merits, and....

his cohort, young John Spanos, views the draft as his fave day of the year.

our future lies in the hands of team Tommy John.... good luck fellas,

ps. do think Forrest is gonna find himself in the starting lineup by season's end as well.

It seems every year though there are areas w concerns after the slight dabbling in FA. I can't remember any year where you could say we were really complete on either D or O. Some positions like S ( which changed w James) , LT (King Dunlap was just ok) , RT (Tevi still) , C ( inconsistency before Pouncey) or DT were concerns even weaknesses.

DT is still a little concern - counting on a rookie, and so is RT. They are shrewd but it would be nice if they cut the purse strings open a little more in FA. But can't complain w the results last year.

how many GMs have hit a PB or all Pro in six straight seasons? His fate absolutely does not hinge on 1 player, especially as that player was regarded as the #1 interior Olineman by several teams and has been derailed by injury. My .02

I studied Lamp predraft.

My comment was intended more along the lines of perception.

That said, the Lamp situation will be key for the Chargers, and TTs track record at Oline is in play here.

TT's fate rests on winning a championship. Part of that is having better oline play. Lamp is a big part of it

No idea. Lamp could re-hurt himself and never play another down in the league and that won't in any, way, shape or form affect his job status. If Lamp comes back and plays like the player everyone thought before his injury, it's just another good player on what many consider the best roster in the league.

[Mister Hoarse]

I love Lamp

[wu-dai clan]

I asked myself a rhetorical question out loud,
and yep, there were some answers.

Thank you.

Lol, don't know but I think /hope Lamp starts at seasons game 1. He should being there all TC this time around.
Schofield is ok but don't like him as a swing OT and he is average as a OG. Think he is expendable and hope Quesenberry steps up this preseason to replace him as an option to make Lamp as our swing OT.

It's easy to criticize Team Spanos for the bumbling done by that family for a long time. But we should also give John some credit here. He and TT have built one of the best rosters in the entire league. That doesn't happen by accident. It may all be due to TT or a combination of TT and John together but however it came about, the results have been very good. He deserves some credit for it.
