I just don't really think they wanted him. Think about this if they got Eli do you think that will be the difference on their team? Are they going to the playoffs in the next 3 years? Heck no, the chargers have far too many problems and too many holes to fill not to trade down. IF I were them I would trade or double trade down to a good place to get Rivers and use the extra picks to fill some more holes.


One thing not many people here really addressed was weather Eli would or wouldn't be better off in another city(ie New York).

Personally I think San Deigo is a nicer city to live in and a lot less pressure than NY(their media is BRUTAL). However if you go by the past no QB does well in SD and worse no QB(including Joe Montana) ever had back to back good seasons under Marty. Marty ball could be a QB killer. I would want the trade if I were Eli.
