That’s no fun. It’s a huge disadvantage to certain slue-footed, giraffe running quarterbacks. Could you picture Philip Rivers in coverage on defense? You could, but you really don’t want to. We’ll make the roster 5 players. I’m cool with the rest of the rules.
Okay, so the 5 players for the Chargers. Hmmm. I want Rivers far away from any athletic competition. I’ll take my lumps when it comes to quarterback skill assuming my guys will be able to get open effortlessly 1-on-1. Plenty of athletes played high school quarterback or have some experience throwing at some level.
