San Diego Chargers Core Players + Snapdragon Smartphone Giveaway

Great upside, fantastic motor, affordable young leader. He’s the future of the franchise and a key component to the future success of the team (pending his health of course).

Eric Weddle has really shown he is a lightning bolt on this team. It is a pleasure to watch him play.

Can make average receivers look great

I’m going to have to go with the author here and say Malcolm Floyd. The offense is more changed depending on his playing or not than any other player.

He’s the best weapon the Chargers have on defense

Though injuries kept him on the sidelines, over the past few games he has shown marked improvement and signs he could be the future of our running game.

Seeing as this is a team that is built from top to bottom to play with a lead, I gotta go with an offensive player as the team’s core player, and I have to go with Mr. Gates.

Opponents have to either scheme him out of the game by keying on him and opening all other receivers up, or try to cover him 1 on 1 and let him put up 60+ yards and key first downs in the first half before changing their gameplan and, again, opening everyone else up. But most importantly, having Gates in our redzone offense creates so many opportunities that teams have to gameplan for that I think having him back is the #1 factor that has turned our redzone problems around this year.

Antonio Gates gets the nod. He is Philip’s safety blanket, his old trusty that he knows will be where he is suppose to be and fight tooth and nail for the ball, always.
When he is hurt the passing and running games are off. He brings extra attention to open up everyone else and he is just plain fun to watch.

Travis LaBoy. His number is 99, and being able to count really high is fundamental to a team’s success.

for taking care of his body. He exceeded expectations, playing more than his share of snaps. Contrast to Bob Sanders or Larry English.
Maybe he can share his hyperbolic chamber with Gates, Floyd and Matthews.

Without him, there is no Chargers offense. Volek is good, but not Philip Rivers quality.

Just like the other guy said, it easily has to be Phil himself. When he plays good, we all be happy. When he doesn’t play so good, well…….6 game losing streak ahoy!

When Phillip Rivers is limiting his turnovers and pushing the ball down field, it opens up the offense and makes everyone around him better. The running game has more room with the defense focusing on receivers, receivers’ stats go up obviously, and when he sustains drives and doesn’t throw Interceptions it allows the defense to rest. Having all of his weapons on offense healthy definitely helps him, but he still has to be the one to spread the ball around and make the passes. MVP candidates Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees both have an array of potential receivers, and just like they get the credit for leading their high powered offenses, Rivers should get that credit if he keeps up his recent performance with a similar receiving core.

We have standout players in many positions, but in the end it’s how they either enable Rivers, or get him back on the field.

Been consistant all year! How many punts within the 20?

To make it official, I think that Philip Rivers is the core player of the San Diego Chargers. They live or die by his throwing arm.

Antonio Gates has proven to be the “core” of the San Diego Chargers. He has stuck with the team – always giving 100%. He is talented and hard-working and believes in himself and the team. We don’t do well when he is injured and we do great when he is on the field. I would call that “core” to the team and to our success.

Because when the chargers were within their losing streak he was the only one giving me hope. rivers was always taking so long in making passing decisions, but whenever he opts for jackson, he’s always there and catches both shotgun and long, downfield passes.

Antonio Gates is our CORE! When he is on the field Rivers has the confidence to throw

Because we need defense and he makes it happen!
