Nightmare Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Raiders beat writers who were adamant that it was going to be Champ Kelly in ruins… In all seriousness, this is kinda surprising, and also relatively underwhelming. He drafted well, but I feel like the Chargers often had fairly lop-sided rosters, and hired some terrible HCs during Telesco’s tenure.

I'm not really impressed with his body of work. Felt like we could have done better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing is he's almost a lock to draft a first round great player. ....rounds 2-7, you'll never hear of any of them again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolni Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Wow True surprise Will Champ stick as assistant GM? I think Telesco can be a szolid GM if hé van avoid the injury prone players in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 Mark Davis is on a historic run of bad hires but I'd assume Tom was one of the only GM candidates that was open to working with AP so he had to make a decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbsk Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I’m not going to pretend to know that much about GM candidates but the Chargers don’t really inspire me if I think we’re taking their former guys. Dodds was highly regarded and would probably preferred to give him a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went back and looked at his drafts and every 2nd-7th round selection were the most mediocre group I have ever seen. His drafts are the embodiment of "draft some contributors" Luckily, his free agency additions seem to be phenomenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Raiders fan, I've seen the Chargers' roster when we play against them and the depth has never impressed me. Once 1-2 of their top starters go down, they start to suck. It's literally their MO.

RaidersAreOne Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Well he absolutely does not know how to hire HC's, so at least AP is in place for that role.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly just a lot of high picks supplemented by FAs, but either way - they DID have good rosters. I'm trying hard to be positive here... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilshark69 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I'd have preferred either of the other 2. All I can do is cross my fingers and smmfh!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 "Cold feet" on rookie GM/HC pairing. Instead opting for just much worse GM candidates. Sweet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
