Except for JP LOsman, I can't think of a QB who was drafted in the first or second round that sat his first year who didn't play at least OK his first year starting . . .

Favre, Culpepper, Palmer, McNair, Pennington, Brees all played pretty well after sitting their rookie years.

Rivers will rule the world in a couple years, AJ will be crowned, LT will be king, and the Chargers defense will be what the Bears were last year. As long as AJ keeps his checkbook balanced, i dont see the chargers haveing less than 10 wins in a season for the next 4-5 years. By then LT will be 31 an gates will be 31 and Jamal Williams will be 36, Rivers will be 30 and Mcardell will be in a nursing home. Those are are our anchor players. Merriman and Castillo will be anchors sooner or later though.
