    Making splashy trades is just not Telesco's style. He is very conservative, has pluses and minuses - just who he is and how he believes in building a team. If I am not mistaken he is a Bill Polian disciple, probably read his book multiple times The Game Plan: The Art of Building a Winning Football Team

      Why I have read that book multiple times, Sir.

      Best part: when Polian got in a fist fight with Jim Kelly's agent.

      If only TT wasn't such a choir boy.

      MG III would have gotten his ass in here sooner.
      We do not play modern football.

        And then when we finish 8- 8 and miss the playoffs then this board will bitch that we have no first rounder next draft for a DT, OT or a QB to groom because they traded it for an injury prone OT.

          Id like to see TT slap the shit out of Gordon, but in realty, it would be the other way around.
          Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
          The Wasted Decade is done.

              Or we go 10-6 win a Super Bowl with twin towers protecting rivers and opening holes and no one gives two hoots about a first rounder because were too busy partying to care about the 32nd pick.

              But it then again neither on of us knows how that would end so who cares.

                have you seen the stands at our home games? We need “Fans” and in any form we can get them.

                  If the Chargers were based in Silicon Valley then perhaps one of the software developers there could’ve designed an app to rent fans similar to Airbnb, HomeAway etc.
                  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

                    :lol:...didn't the Chargers supposedly "rent" fans for their initial LA press conference? Gave them crisp new jerseys and hats too...wonder if the actors had to give those back?

                    Spanos's are such idiots...

                        Back in Polian's day, he could get away with a scuffle like that without too many repercussions...nowadays in the age of Twitter, Facebook, talk radio, Jim Rome, podcasts, the internet, Youtube, texting and satellite radio, an incident like that would instantly blow up and TT would be out on the street next to Whiz...

                          Very true.

                          Also, it goes against the commonly held image of Polian.
                          Bill Polian is a red ass about winning.

                          Does anybody get that kind of vibe about TT ?
                          Maybe the time he gave Baker Mayfield some very well deserved smack.
