Don't forget Craig Davis, Jacob Hester, and passing on Polamalu to get Sammy Davis and Terrence Kiel.

Has a GM ever been great his first 4 years and terrible his last 5 like AJ? I doubt it.
Maybe he took a surfboard to the cranium like Beathard?

I think he got cocky and arrogant

He overpaid for Hester
He gave up a lot for Weddle - and even though Weddle was a very good player and probably worth it - he did give up a lot and when you combine that with 8 picks before - or whatever Buster Davis was - that was a lot of draft capital

Draft picks like Waters and Crompton were not good

I think one year AJ mentioned going into training camp they had like 46 out of 53 spots - this might have been just after the draft. But I think he felt like he was playing in with house money a year or two. He never replenished the shelves. The draft and UDFA - every year - every year - you have to hit on those . No years off

[Leslie Grossman]

No doubt about the cocky and arrogant part. "You're a Charger year to year"
Too bad Marty was arrogant enough to push for hiring his brother.

Leggo my Eggo waffles part 2 are back in the menu boys.......at least in the ATL.

Larry English? Trading up for Jonas Mouton. Hopefully Jr leaves the Ego home.

He didnt trade up for Mouton, he reached all the way to the second round for him when he was probably a 4th-5th rounder.

A lot of posters at that other forum openly worshiped AJ and called him God...yes, I think at least some of that crazy crap went to his head...

Mouton, Hester, Crompton and Waters were "house money picks"

English I think was expected to go where he did or within in reason
Buster Davis
Telesco picking Pipkins in round 3 and Mager too - those are just reaches. Use a 5th on those guys

I am good with higher floor lower ceiling players in round 2-4. Round 5 if you want to swing - fine. Just get good solid contributors in rounds 2-4 and for the most part, Telesco gets a D- for R3 and R4 in his tenure.

Yeah, he made mistakes but look at how bad the team was before he took over and then look at those powerful teams after he stepped in.

He was often a pain in the rear but he got results!

You mean the owners forum? His last few years I couldn't stand him when he bickered with every player including VJ, Tomlinson, as well as Sproles. When He picked Mouton over Randall Cobb I literally lost it with that guy!

[Formula 21]

AJ was good until he decided he was the smartest guy in the room. After that his decision making skills declined. Continually reaching for gems that everyone else sees as rocks was his undoing.

No idea if anything comes from this but I'll again say,. The Rams GM should be fired.

Goff being shopped to multiple teams

The Rams want an upgrade at quarterback. But first they need to get rid of the quarterback they have.

A trade that would ship Jared Goff off has been discussed between the Rams and multiple teams, according to Jordan Rodrigue of TheAthletic.com. One of those teams may be the Lions, who reportedly had discussions with the Rams about a trade involving Matthew Stafford.

It has become obvious that the Rams simply no longer want to be on the hook for Goff’s contract, which carries more than $43 million in fully guaranteed payments in 2021 and 2022.

But why would any other team want Goff’s contract? His performance has been mediocre the last two seasons, and although he did help the Rams get to the Super Bowl after the 2018 season, it’s hard not to think a whole lot of quarterbacks could have played just as well as Goff did in Sean McVay’s offense.

The Rams are now paying for their decision to give Goff a huge contract extension in the offseason after they went to that Super Bowl. If they had just allowed him to play out his rookie contract, he’d now be heading into free agency, and the Rams could decide in the coming weeks whether to extend him, franchise him, or let him walk. But because they extended him after only three seasons, they’re stuck with his contract.

Unless they can find a trading partner. They’ll keep spreading the word that they’re in trade talks in the hope that some team bites.

Best GM the Chargers ever had. BTW, you left off the 12 players the Chargers had on the 2006, would've been 13, but Darren Sproles was put on IR by Marty for the year, when he broke his leg in preseason. Sproles was ready to go by December.

My guess is the Colts

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said to "expect" a trade involving Matthew Stafford before the Super Bowl.


Even Lions coach Dan Campbell said trade talks were "hot and heavy". A deal will get done very shortly after the Lions agreed with Stafford that a change of scenery is best for both sides. The Rams have inquired about getting a deal done for Stafford, but they'd need to find a trade partner for Jared Goff and his contract for that to work under the salary cap. The 49ers, Colts, Football Team, Patriots, and others are also expected to inquire. Stafford, 32, comes with cap hits of $33 million and $26 million over the next two seasons, although the Lions would eat $19 million of that when he's dealt. Stafford could be the first domino to fall in what could be a massive game of musical chairs in the quarterback market.
