I’m not buying the Jamaal Brown trade. I don’t even know the meaning of “curculating.” It must be one of those weird new football metrics.

performance talks, and off-the field issues run the marathon in this league.

McNeil may not be the “the best” LT in the league, but he is the best on the charger roster. and from a bidness standpoint why are you willing to gamble you 74,or is it 94? whatever, million dollar QB’s blindside on 12 year vet?

VJ, yeah we know he’s going to get suspended, but when he’s here, he’s proven he can make plays when the chargers have needed him to.
both players have earned the right to at least be offered long term deals. even with the uncertainty of the CBA, it does not prohibit the chargers from making an offer, they are just “unwilling”. but here we are, VJ an MM will not be chargers next year. if you need proof, just go to the charger pro appeal shop and look for the jerseys that are half off. VJ and MM will soon join SM, where LT’s and Cro’s were. which reminds me i just picked up an LT jersey for $60 bucks.

The peanut gallery has spoken!!!
