Of course, in this scenario he also brings up a protégé to take over once he gets back to HC. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far back as I remember those Chargers kept being sexy preseason picks for all their talent on the roster. Doesn’t that suggest the GM was doing his job?

I’m glad he stopped trading up but never traded down. On 1/22/2024 at 2:23 PM, Nightmare said: Also has a very sketchy record of hiring Head Coaches with the Chargers. Not that he'd have to worry about that with the Raiders, who have Maxx Crosby deciding who we hire as HC. Telesco also did a terrible job of team construction: -Never getting the run stopping DL the Chargers desperately needed -Deciding that Kenneth Murray was fine as their ILB (spoiler: he wasn't) -Signing JC Jackson as a terrible fit for what the Chargers pass D was about -Pulling the trigger on Quentin Johnston was the final killer draft mistake (over Zay Flowers & Jordan Addison) Yes, he drafted Justin Herbert & Rashawn Slater in recent years, but those were auto-picks for where the Chargers were on the board. Yes, he traded for Khalil Mack, but that's more on CHI cutting bait than it was on Telesco. Keenan Allen might be his greatest value pick in R3. Really, he's underwhelmed in a big way as GM.

I’m glad he stopped trading up but never traded down. Yup. His teams are poor man versions of the teams he helped build in Indy. A few star players at important positions (QB, pass-rusher, receiver etc.). But zero depth (especially in the trenches). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of that was Staley’s decision rather than Telesco’s. I guess good or bad, Telesco also almost makes decisions based on what his HC wants.

He really wasted the peak Phillip Rivers / Allen years ignoring the trenches. Edited January 23 by Broncofan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
