Training Camp Preview: Quarterbacks - Ricky Henne (VIDEO)
Unlike many other teams, there is no quarterback controversy in San Diego. Rivers is the clear cut starter, and for good reason, as over his career he has been one of the top signal callers in the game.

The NFL has changed so that seasons like this aren’t quite as likely to be seen, so cherish the memory while you can.
