I would want the trade if I were Eli.

u r forgetting dan fouts a hall of famer and stan humphries who while with san diego, took them to the superbowl against the 49ers.

i think the gm for san diego let this out so san diego has a better excuse for their own fans rather than just trading down because of past draft problems. heck if we were like that we wouldn't have drafted arrington and samuels thanks to the shuler and howard screw ups. this makes it easier for the chargers to trade down, possibly twice, and still get the qb they really want in phillip rivers and use the draft picks and possible players aquired for trading down to fill the many holes that team has.

I was really thinking about more recent years. As far as Howard and Shuler thats NO WHERE NEAR as bad as Leaf(the worst bust ever), Brees, and missing out on Vick. Those picks for the Skins are bad but these make the Bolts a laughing stock.

My main points on this whole thing are this:
1)Eli would be beter off somewhere else
2)The Manning camp wanted to keep this quiet
3)SD really thought Rivers was the QB they wanted
4) They could trade down to get him and get picks
5) they have more holes than QB
6)A good chunk of the fans wanted Eli no matter what
7)The Bolt's GM released this
8)Now no matter what the Bolt's front office does they look good
9)The Bolts saying that they are still going to draft Eli is crazy, They have dozens of reason to trade the pick and few to draft him.
