San Diego Chargers G.M. A.J. Smith is dumb

The Chargers front office is dealing with a mess right now with two of their most important players sitting out. Vincent Jackson and Marcus McNeil who have out played their previous contract. I understand a contract is a contract and the player should play through it put but both of these position are at a premium price tag. In the case of Vincent Jackson the Chargers have turned down numerous offer at a reasonable deal. Why keep players who clearly don't want to be on their current team? The NFL has a short time for players who peak at the right time. Jackson is a threat every time he touches the ball. He commands teams to game plan around his skill set. In the case of Marcus McNeil he plays a position that commands he to protect the blindside of his quarterback. Left tackle is a position that demands him to be on top if his game. Yes left tackles in the NFL demands a lot of money these days but when a player goes to the pro bowl year after year that must say something about their ability to protect their QB.
