"You know, it’s the same thing (Brandon) Mebane told me," he said. "I’m just excited to get to work with Gus and learn his new system.

Chargers' genesis in L.A. a forgotten footnote - Ryan Kartje
The Los Angeles Chargers were intended to be the West Coast flagship of the eight-team American Football League. Dallas oilman and AFL founder Lamar Hunt knew the L.A. market was essential to the nascent league’s survival.

At 35 years old, Rivers still has at least another three years of quality play. But the Chargers should consider grooming a developmental prospect to succeed the North Carolina State product, starting this year. A player like Patrick Mahomes of Texas Tech or Cal’s Davis Webb could make some sense. Both are good athletes with big arms that could use some seasoning, and could thrive under the tutelage of Rivers.
