[ QUOTE ] Where Do the Chargers Go from Here? [/ QUOTE ] The super bowl? [/ QUOTE ] That's why this is so interesting to me. I've become a closet Chargers fan ever since I got the Sunday ticket four years ago. I've seen them build up a team and really start to look like a Super Bowl contender. I think they may be able to do it with Brees, not with Rivers. Not that I think Rivers will be bad, it is just that the way the team is set by the time Rivers gets to the same level of Brees, they might be past or coming near the end of their "window."

Re: Where Do the Chargers Go from Here?
I don't think their window is that small at all. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought they were a pretty young team.

Re: Where Do the Chargers Go from Here?
I think almost every team's window is four years max. Between injuries and the cap almost every team blows up. The Eagles and Pats are trying to disprove this, but I don't think the San Diego front office is as good as either of those teams.

Re: Where Do the Chargers Go from Here?
The SD FO is extremely conservative and way under the cap. I think they'll be ok, especially when they get rid of one of their QBs in the offseason.
The team with the smallest window is undoubtedly the Colts.

[/ QUOTE ] They are $3.3 million under the cap about middle of the pack. Not in cap trouble, but not way under. The Eagles are $12.6 million, they are way under.

Re: Where Do the Chargers Go from Here?
Fair enough. I thought SD was lower, but clearly I'm wrong. Philly resigns a lot of players during the reg season though, and that # will be higher before its all done, I'm sure.

However, still nothing. I do like the fantasy numbers he is putting up in his contract year. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Where Do the Chargers Go from Here?
Yeah, I would think a lot of it would be for him. He hasn't gotten the ball that much in the last two games. I don't know why.

As for the Chargers, I don't understand why you (OP) think it will be so difficult to trade Rivers? Wouldn't they be responsible for all of the signing bonus and take the cap hit? The contract isn't bad at all. Teams fall over themselves to give money to young QBs, this would be a relative bargain. Unless I'm mistaken about cap rules, SD would bear the financial burden here. And they should, as it would be foolish to relieve themselves of Brees's services.
