Yep, STUPENDOUS trade. I don'think Eli is washed up by any means but he's sure not playing like Rivers and y'all got Merriman to boot? I'd say that was a pretty slick move!
Ryan Leaf is an asst. coach at a small college here in West Texas. The interview I saw made him seem like a pretty decent guy. Even he thought he was over-hyped. He just didn't know how badly over-hyped until he got there. He also admitted to being a jerk but said that was immaturity running his mouth and if he had it to do over again, he would have kept his mouth shut. All in all, I kind of felt sorry for him and wish him luck. Having said that, he was definitely a big-time bust in the NFL.
