Seems fair to me..

Me, too. It wasn't about money and he had been up front with them that he would not play for them before the draft. The Chargers got a lot for him so it would seem they all were happy.

Most of the boos came from Charger fans which is understandable.

The great thing about this whole Charade is that the Giants got raped by the Chargers, and SD got the better QB.

Eli is more physically talented than Phillip Rivers, but Rivers is much better at controlling the field.

The difference between the two is nowhere near wothr giving up two first round picks, a third round and a fifth round. Which is essentially what the Giants did.

I do feel sorry for Eli in one respect. He is going to be dogged by his NY teammates unmercifully about being a "Daddy's Boy". Everything he does in camp is going to get, "are you sure? maybe you should ask daddy if you can do that."
