    I once bought him a beer at a San Diego Clippers game. He was a pussycat...............

      If they recognize Phil at a game I may have to go to that. It’s funny I’ve been dead wrong on our QBs I wanted Brees over Rivers and hated the Herbert draft pick. Like Justin Philip quickly won me over and his spats with Cutler were good times.

      Someone asked in another thread does Herbert make it easier to get over Rivers or something like that. My answer is yes. I love Rivers but IMO we may have actually improved at the QB position. That and I like that Justin stays pretty even emotionally whereas we all know Phil could get a little over hyped sometimes.

        I think this is the right thing for both sides. For sure. However, there is a tinge of surprise because you just never know with the Chargers and how they go about things sometimes. They just seem to be a little off when it comes to PR (public relations) and the right way to do things. So, count me as happy and somewhat relieved. Especially the way this went down a year ago with it seeming like both sides were so ready to move on from each other asap.

          I was hoping this would happen. Thanks to the Spanos' and Rivers for coming together on this. It's not a big deal, but it really means something to us Chargers fans.

                  It would be cool for Philip to honor those fans (us) from San Diego. This city needs that. Hope the Spanni don't f*ck it up!

                      Yep...this was the most frustrating thing about PR...the talent was undeniably there...some games, Phil was just so awesome...then, the emotions kicked in and affected his game for the worse...still, thanks for the great memories, Phil!

                        Agreed.
                        JH actually gives you the impression that nothing is too big to overcome. A real air of calm. He's the whole package, not just a passer.

                          I'm not sure how much it was emotions kicking in vs him feeling that he needed to try and win games by himself and forcing things. Add in some pretty mediocre coaching and a crappy offensive line and you have what you saw.
