I'll admit that I was initially upset that Keenan got traded, but after some time to reflect I think this is truly a case of better a year early than a year late. I believe that if KA had agreed to some level of a pay cut he'd still be here, but I'm not freaking out (anymore). We need to let this all play out - we can freak out in August . . . . . . . . . .

I know it’s not possible monetarily but if you’re going to blow it up, trade JHerbs and draft JJ and start over on a rookie contract. At least then you’re building with a young QB and not keeping a prime QB waiting.

In Harbaugh we trust because we have no choice and this is kind of fun.

That sounds like it would be fun, but, I think they are thinking we can win now and Herbert is ready. We seem to be building a: tough team. I think a few guys like Quintin Johnston, Issaha Spiller, and even Palmer and mostly Herbert need to toughen up. I think coaching can do that.
In Harbaugh we trust because we have no choice and this is kind of fun.Chiefs won the Superbowl with 10 Rookies....

I agree with what they said about having a veteran WR. I don't think Harbaugh and Hortiz can just turn a blind eye to it.Chiefs won the Superbowl with 10 Rookies....

The salary cap is not fake. Its real. Its just more pliable in the NFL as compared to the NBA.

The irony of all this shit is that the guy who should have the least amount of loyalty to the club behaved or acted in a manner that displays more caring and goodwill towards the Chargers, Kahlil fucking Mack Broke the stalemate and did a restructure which even included a 5 million $ pay cut...the guy that brought Mack here was fired, he had the best season of his career, and he was the one with all the trade buzz and yet Mack was the one that did the most to help the Chargers, LOL
so Yeah, I'm grateful for all the memories that Keenan gave us over the years, AND I'm also not mad at him to looking out for himself and his friend Mike Williams...
my issue is with folks making it sound like the team did him wrong...Keenan was given every opportunity to stick around, he was also given multiple different opportunities to help the Chargers, and he was also given the opportunity to put his money where his mouth is in regards to retiring as a Charger by taking a paycut on a longer term deal that would've kept him in bolts for the next 3 seasons...
Keenan CHOSE to leave, he didn't want to play in a system where his role would've been reduced, the team gave him choice and he went elsewhere while all along sounding off about how he wanted to retire a Charger, LOL...at some point actions speak louder than words...

Keenan said there was no emotion in leaving the team and it was a business decision and yet certain fans are falling apart over it?
Why is it OK for Keenan to have no emotion in leaving the Chargers and calls it a business decision, but it's not OK for the Chargers to trade Keenan over a business decision?
Allen was great when he was here and loved, however I was fine with this move about 30 seconds after it happened!
