No one ever mentions what the Giants gave up to acquire Eli Manning because they've won 2 Super Bowls. The Chargers received Rivers, Merriman and more and haven't won dick.
Washington's been in the playoffs twice and won the division last years: The Rams haven't had a winning season.

Loom at this situations though. The talent the skins moved up for, flamed out and the Giants didn't win superbowls until they built a defensive line.
The Chargers haven't win a superbowl with rivers, but they've been pretty successful
