The NFL is a “quarterbacks league” more than ever but let’s not forget this: Football is a team game that involves several dozens of people per side.
San Diegans of all people shouldn’t need this reminder after seeing the Chargers lean on one or two very good quarterbacks in Drew Brees and Philip Rivers for the better part of two recent decades but also fail to reach even one Super Bowl.
The only Chargers team that went to a Super Bowl had Stan Humphries, not Hall of Famer Dan Fouts, as its quarterback. Humphries was neither a top-tier passer nor a threat to run.
