    Agree completely. That's why IMO, receiving records mean very little because the rules have changed.

      Ryan Leaf to Bryan Still. These guys were the best poker playing QB WR combo ever.

        The 2 best combos we got are Fouts-Winslow and Rivers-Gates, so no fair on the no TE's ...

          That's why I like TEs so much. Too bad most coaches don't don't. They are the most effective weapon on the field.
          Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
          The Wasted Decade is done.

            Most coaches like the idea of getting the ball to super athletic guys in space. Think that is the best chance to make plays. WR are generally the fastest most athletic offensive players, so there is some truth to the idea of getting the ball to the WR.

            The catch is that the fastest most athletic players on defense are the CB, who cover up the WR, and any D can give that guy help and take away your best weapon. That and the sideline and time of flight of the ball can make it hard to get the ball to the WR.

            The TE may not always be fast and athletic as a WR, but they are a huge mismatch for the defenders who line up inside. And to bring in extra defenders (from other positions), to help cover the TE often leads to broken assignments. It's just a lot easier for DC to double team a WR than it is a TE.

            You need good players at WR and TE, but anyone who thinks that a TE can't be a #1 weapon on an offense is showing a lack of understanding of how offensive football is played (and a lack of appreciation of Charger history).

                  Hadl-Alworth

                  Granted-it's always tough choosing anyone over Fouts-Jefferson/Joiner/Chandler,etc. But-as earlier, had
                  we not shipped Jefferson out, there would be no challenge to Fouts-Jefferson.

                    Yeah Fouts-Jefferson could of been number one, Jefferson first 3 seasons over a 1000 each season and 36 TD's in the first 3 seasons.
