In response to "Based on David's draft picks post on B2, someone honestly tell me how SD "won" that trade? -- nm" by Shaun - Caveman Champion

I think that is an interesting debate topic. The Chargers got four Pro Bowlers. Manning led his team to a Super Bowl title.

SD got more weapons; NY got the real prize.

It's something that bears watching over the years. If SD gets a title as well, that tips the scale. Otherwise, the Giants won the only way that matters.

Responses:

Unless SD wins a SB with Rivers, Roid man, and Kaeding, NYG "wins" the trade. -- nm - Shaun - Caveman Champion Apr 23, 18:32 5
- (in other words, it's not a zero-sum game) -- nm - Reagen Apr 23, 18:54
- except you can't say that SD wins a SB with Manning and not having those other parts. -- nm - Reagen Apr 23, 18:53 3
  - But that's not it played out. You have to base it on what actually happens. What if SD drafted Peyton? -- nm - Shaun - Caveman Champion Apr 23, 19:01 2
    - And then there's the moves the teams make in the intervening years. - Reagen Apr 23, 19:10
    - Then drafting Eli would have been awkward. - Reagen Apr 23, 19:05
