I agree re: trading picks/aging players/coaches.
It also doesn't help that CP was apparently in a ****ing coma between 2000-2002. 3 years worth of drafts with nothing to show for it. Unless you count Sims, Dante and Wesley.
We're paying for those drafts now.

It was not just the Manning deal (although that was certainly a sweet deal for the Chargers). The Chargers also traded down (with Atlanta) in the 1st a number of years ago and took Ladanian instead of Vick. Additionally, the Chargers got Brees early in the second that year (can't remember if that was with their original pick or the Falcons' pick). In any case, they have been creating a surplus of 1st day draft picks for years and it shows on the field. The Chargers are now the elite in the AFCW.
