The Chargers have been hyping themselves for years and have amounted to nothing. We've never hyped ourselves, theyve always surprised people, and we came from no where and won the Super Bowl.
Besides, Junior is taking with him a leadership position, a guy the rest of the team can listen to and rally behind, like Joe MOntana or JOe Namath. Who will take over that role?

dude, i feel ya - i'm not a chargers fan by any stretch of the imagination, and being in Boston when the pats won the big'un was probably the coolest thing i've been around.
As far as "leadership role" - yeah, I hear what you're saying, but you just never know who will step in. If the team can use the cap space better, then it's still a good long-term move; today's NFL doesn't really allow you to carry "sentimental value" contracts.
As for the pats next season - until they can find an offensive game that doesn't resemble my high school's, any additions on D don't really impress me. Also, they've added a pass-rushing LB and a SS - are those really the best moves for a team that sucked against the run last year?
