Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is playing 16 games, so what’s the point of talking about quarterbacks if it begins and ends with him? It’s probably a fair opinion many would have, but this year, there’s more interest. From the surprise signing of Tyrod Taylor to drafting Easton Stick, the quarterback situation got a bit more interesting than the average journeyman backup.
First, it wouldn’t make sense to not begin with the Chargers’ starting quarterback for well over a decade. Rivers is coming off his best year as a pro, which few expected. No. 17 achieved the highest passer rating of his career and posted his second-highest completion percentage in 2018.
