Butler was a defensive captain the year before getting his contract. He was smart and instinctual and aggressive. He made a hustle play in the 2013 playoffs that will remain one of the franchise’s finest postseason moments.

But the lasting image of Butler is that of a thief. He robbed Telesco and the Chargers. It’s difficult, in fact, to understand how a man with any pride could even have shown up at Chargers Park the past year or so with as much as Butler stole from the team.
Butler’s larceny over the past two seasons was the second-most egregious example of a high-rent player quitting on the Chargers after only what Jared Gaither did in 2012.

Butler got $15.5 million of the $51.8 million contract he signed after the 2013 season. A desperate Chargers brass gave Gaither $13.5 million guaranteed for what turned out to be four games in one season.
Butler at least started 22 games and played some 1,200 snaps the past two seasons.
Played, however, is a generous assessment.
Watch the film. It’s like Butler lost interest. A guy who was a playmaker, a hustler, on the verge of being a ballhawk, started going the wrong way, stopping, sometimes hardly starting. There were a few games after which his uniform might have actually been clean.
He was out of shape in 2014. Yes, the year after realizing the big bucks, he came in fat and slow.
To his credit, he worked hard the next offseason, got lean and quick, and seemed ready to regain some of his playmaking form in ’15. But a combination of the team having all but given up on him by that time and his own inability to truly assert himself on the field made it a foregone conclusion that Thursday would happen.

There may be truth to that, don't know. What I do know after having lived in San Diego for almost 4 years now, I can tell you that the Chargers organization is one of, if not THE most, ****ed up organization I've ever witnessed. And this is coming from a guy who grew up in Washington DC, so that's saying something....:lol:
 
Might be true but it reads more like butthurt to me. And not even well argued butthurt.

They may be the worst. After the browns, naturally.
 
That's pretty crappy if true, but there are the proverbial 3-sides to every story. If accurate, however, it would constitute much "grander" larceny than what Garrard perpetrated on Ross, and that was bad.
 
SD is a terrible team. Look at the slow dopes who replaced him. A lot of people were crying about us not drafting Perryman, but that guy barely has the tools to make it as a thumper in a 3-4. The KC RB's abused SD's LB's in the passing game. Perryman as the Mike in a 4-3 would be pure clown shoes.
 
can't defraud the dolphins on a vet minimum contract so I don't care
