after watching this video I want him in green and gold.

Wow! He burned Pacman!

[BallHawk]

What would they want that we have? Talk of trade is fun and all, but realistically, what do the Chargers need that we have?

[imscott72]

We haven't signed anyone for 80 million yet, so clearly the team is in distress..

[Bretsky]

Whoa, Vince!

That is one king-hell good vat of Kool-Aide you brewed up!.

What the hell, it's the off-season, lemme dip my ladel in there and have a big sip.

With the exception of BF being a HOF quarterback, way too many ifs in those points and one could put positive or negative spins on nearly every one. A great kool aide post, but I'm not seeing it yet.

There's no guarantee with a FA either. There are ALWAYS ifs no matter what. IF we get a FA and IF he doesn't get hurt, He SHOULD be pretty good IF he perfoms like you expect him to. And you talk about bringing vets in, remember, right now, we have no rookies on the team. They are ALL vets.

Did anybody say there were guarantees with free agency ? I guess your solutions is not to try

Draft picks; the Chargers want Draft Picks.

They want WR threats. McCardell is gone and they need weapons to add to their LT and Gates duo.

The two players they'd want from Green would be Driver and Jennings; but that's not practical. So they want draft picks.

It's not about TRYING. It's about doing what TT feels is best for the team. I don't recall the FA this year that didn't have SOMEONE come on and let us know what the knock against him was. I, like Patler, am very interested to see what happens between now and training camp. I wanna see how Underwood handles himself before I go into convulsions about safety. Wasn't he strongly challenging Manual last season? Let's see what happens before we hang ouselves in woe.

Nice post Vince....

Good content and it finished very convincingly.

I don't think TT would give up a 1st and 3rd for Turner. Hell, I wouldn't give a 1st and a 3rd for Turner. With that 3rd we could get a RB that has a shot at becoming our future RB. Perhaps Pittman or Irons?

Any team could have him for a first and a third without any negotiation whatsoever. The whole trade scenario is, by definition, something less than that...

The reality for the Chargers is that Turner will become a free agent after next year, so they'll likely lose him and get nothing in return unless they franchise him, which would cost them way too much for a reserve. It's pretty much now or never if they want to get any value for him.

[BallHawk]

But is there any scenario where we get Turner without giving up a 1st and something else? If it was for a 1st, straight up, I would consider it. However, we have no idea what the Chargers are asking for.

Other teams have done the trying for us. Washington and Minny are perfect examples from last yr when FA doesn't work..

[BallHawk]

Washington and Minny are examples from every year that FA doesn't work.

I posted earlier in the thread that the Chargers were considering taking a 2nd for him. Its doubtful they'll get a 1st cause teams know they have to unload him this yr or he's gone via FA next yr. No way anyone gives up a 1st and a 3rd. Thats simply unheard of these days. It will be a trade or nothing.
