That post is nearly exactly one year old (well almost) When something is quoted, unless it is done manually, that little arrow next to the name of the member quoted will take you the original post.

hmm i did not know that.

I'm not saying that you said this recently. I'm saying that you as well as other Charger fans (and yes, I include the trolls in this... ) have been pointing out the great talent level on your team for the past few years, and as recently as this past off season. Hell, I can think of one or two that would probably still say it now.

No, I know you did not claim to be the most talented team in the NFL... but you were hardly claiming that you barely had any talent at all, either.

I'm pretty sure you weren't claiming that you somehow managed to have the best offense, defense, ST and coaching all without any talent whatsoever.

My point was simply thus - a lot of the idea that the Chargers had a lot of talent comes from the Chargers fans saying so repeatedly. I know you weren't as adamant about it as some others... but that's because you are one of the more level-headed posters on that side overall. There's several of you that are good like that. Doesn't mean it wasn't being said.

I figure if you will go so far as to say that you had the best coaching, offense, defense and ST in the division (with the assumption that there must be some talent to go with it, cause otherwise, it's just great coaching)... then there are probably Chargers fans who were making even more outlandish claims.

never said the chargers are not talented, they are. but "the most talent-loaded team of the last decade"? that is the kind of stuff i am talking about and i just dont see any chargers fans here making those claims besides trolls who i don't even take seriously most of the time.

i don't think its mainly because of them the broncos fans say these things, i think people here in general are smart enough to realize those guys are just saying whatever they can to get under their skin.

i think it is because at one point the chargers did have a pretty talented squad and rival fans want to use that as a means to question rivers' ability.

the chargers had one of the most talented teams in the league at one point, but i don't think that has been the case for the past few years.

in the division? heck they still might be the most talented, but that is not what i was arguing and that isn't saying a whole lot to be brutally honest.

have you not seen the countless "rivers failed to get to the playoffs with the #1 defense and offense" posts in smack?

even though rivers is the primary reason for that #1 offense (and i can argue that #1 defense stat is horribly skewed as well), they just use it to make him look bad.

its the same concept.

just saying man, its not a big deal if you disagree.

I've made the #1 Offense/#1 Defense argument. Largely because it's funny to me, and it's exactly the sort of thing smack is supposed to be made of.

Yeah, it's definitely skewed on the defense side.

Still, there's a fair amount of talent there. I'm actually curious to see some breakdown on the teams before the start of the season, once the attention isn't on the labor strife.

yeah it is smack worthy, but i disagree it is funny......not funny at all!

I find it extremely ridiculous that they put Cribbs in the top 100. Cribbs was an extreme disappointment last season. Instead of putting a player that did well, like Peyton Hillis, they decide that Cribbs is more important?

This list is completely absurd and is nothing more than a popularity contest.
