Chargers fans rip Raiders Tom Telesco after new L.A. GM makes trades
One of the biggest complaints about general manager Tom Telesco during his days in the same role with the was his lack of aggre sivene s.Fans and analysts alike felt Telesco never did enough to try and improve the roster, but things have changed drastically in Los Angeles since new general manager Joe Hortiz took over and we saw a few examples of that on Wednesday.The Chargers pulled off two trades, with defensive back Elijah Molden from the , and then quarterback Taylor Heinicke with
Alex Erickson Jersey the . Los Angeles was also awarded running back Ha san Haskins off waivers from the Titans. touched on the clear difference between the approaches of Telesco and Hortiz.Hortiz refuses to fall into the complacent habits of former Chargers general manager Tom Telesco. An NFL roster is never set-and-forget; yet, aside from perhaps one season, Telesco let the season come to him and watch as proactive teams pa sed up the franchise he led. Funny enough, the one time Telesco made a handful of post-draft moves they all paid off. Morgan Fox, Kyle Van Noy, and Bryce Callahan were all great post-draft signings that made significant contributions.It is refreshing to see a general manager feel the urgency, if not
C.J. Henderson Jersey anxiety, that we have as Chargers fans. While not every move will
A.J. Bouye Jersey pay off, there is at least an attempt to do what is best for the team. And, in the right hands, low-risk signings or trades can pay dividends as it appears Kristian Fulton, Chark, and Tart will this season. It is almost painful to see just how effective a good general manager can be, particularly more so now that Justin Herbert's rookie contract is ending. Fortunately, there is a new era of Chargers football, and it feels fantastic.Schoon wasn't the only one in Chargers land to praise Hortiz for being aggre sive. Fans on social media went in on Telesco after seeing their new general manager make a pair of trades on Wednesday.Joe Hortiz has made more trades to acquire talent today (2) than former GM Tom Telesco made to acquire talent in the preseason/regular season in his entire 11-year tenure (1).It's a new era. Jason Reed (@EatYourReedies) Joe Hortiz really looked at Tom Telesco and said no no no, like this: Tyler Schoon (@tylerjschoon) Tom Telesco was so incompetent at the GM position for 11 years that it only took ONE OFFSEASON with Joe Hortiz to show us how a franchise should be run. That man
Austin Corbett Jersey will never know peace Tha_Frederation (@Tha_Frederation) I dont think yall understand how right I was 3-4-5 years ago
Robby Anderson Jersey calling to fire Tom TelescoSpinele s Telesco. Yall called me every name imaginable.Now this is what a hungry team does. Make moves.I CREATED THIS ACCOUNT TO GET TOM TELESCO FIRED CHARGERSTRUTHER (@ChargersTruther) Funny thing about Telesco he would never trade late round picks. But he was a terrible drafter, so never understood why he wouldnt use a sets to make the team better. Love seeing the new GM already making two trades the day after rosters are set.
