I am now dumber for having read what Kathyisintheroom just wrote. I award her no points, and may God have mercy on her soul.

Don’t even make that call even though you’d like to do that. That A.J. is an a-hole”

But it’s funny to watch the hate try to twist something so basic. He’s just putting it out the. “The Chargers have a lot of picks, if you want to trade, call me. But not at the last second.” Seems pretty reasonable, and now the message is offically out.

Classic Caveman GM. Well done. With your team’s new GM, Coach and overall vibe, I look forward to our two contests this season.

If there was a truly amazing offer, I am sure it would find its way thru. I should hope that 3 minutes prior to a major commitment towards a player, that you have prepared to that point & are comfortable moving forward. So there:)

I think the Spanos clan should reward him with a lifetime contract. He has mastered the art of underachieving, that has to count for something.
Meanwhile, in Oakland, Big Reg is handling business like a champ.

That was definitely a decision that could have used a little more time.

Like the Tim Tebow trade up? That was bang-bang and it worked out great for Denver……………. Have any other bang-bang examples that have changed the face of football, Kathy?

Last time I checked, Denver was in the playoffs with Tebow…

How do you know this? Have you ever made a trade in the first round of the NFL draft?

Example: There are three minutes until SD has to make the 18th selection. Out of the clear blue sky, Green Bay calls up and says hey we will give you our #28 pick plus our 3rd and 4th round picks to move up. What do you do?

I tell them I want the #28 plus their 2nd rounder, plus next years 2nd rounder. Tell them they have 10- seconds to accept or I’m hanging up. I also ask them if they ever heard of a Mel Kiper wannabe named geo1113?

That took me less than a minute to decide and type.
buh bye

Without being able to predict who may trade to get in front of you at the last minute……or who may fall unexpectedly to you (that another team may desperately want), how can he not be quick enough on his feet to think an offer through……..cuz if someone is calling you, chances are you’ve got them over a barrel already.

Ah well, I guess his track record speaks for itself.

I find it no coincidence that Buffalo drafts have gotten a lot better since Buddy got there and San Diego’s got a lot worse. AJ is in trouble if he does not hit a homerun in the draft this year.

If there is a guy we really want and he falls to you; if you guys want to give us a chance at him don’t call me.

Hopefully other GMs will give you the same respect. Don’t call us if that guy you covet falls enough for you to consider making an offer.

Many deals are spontaneous and are done in bang-bang time frames. If A.J. doesn’t have the mental capacity to think quickly that is hurting his employer. This may explain why the Chargers keep letting good players leave and getting nothing in return.
