Certain quarterbacks will always be associated with particular franchises.
Joe Namath will always be a Jet. Joe Montana will always be a 49er. Peyton Manning will always be a Colt. But those all-time greats didn't finish their careers where they started.
Fans don't remember Namath the Ram, Montana the Chiefs and Manning the Bronco as fondly. Yet, they weren't ready to finish their careers when their previous franchises were ready to move on with another quarterback.
Philip Rivers will forever be remembered as a member of the Chargers organization.
