From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Photograph of Philip Rivers from 2014
Between 2006 and 2019 Philip Rivers started in 224 regular season games and 11 postseason games, both Charger records.

The Los Angeles Chargers are an American football franchise who play in the National Football League (NFL). They began play in Los Angeles in 1960 as charter members of the American Football League (AFL),[1] switched cities to San Diego the following season,[2] and returned to Los Angeles in 2017.[3] The AFL was formed as rivals to the established NFL, though the leagues would later merge, with all AFL teams including the Chargers officially joining the NFL in 1970.[4]

Through the 2023 season, 42 different players have started at least one regular season game at quarterback for the Chargers.[5] Of these, 16 have started at least 10 games, and three (John Hadl, Dan Fouts and Philip Rivers) have started at least 100 games.[5] Rivers holds the franchise records for both starts and wins, as well as in the statistical categories of touchdown passes, pass completions and yards gained by passing.[5] Tobin Rote is the only Charger to start during a title game victory, having done so in the 1963 AFL Championship game.[6][7]

1966 John Hadl (7–4–1) / Steve Tensi (0–2) Tensi was twice named the starter after playing well in relief. He started in Week 6 and Week 13, but struggled and Hadl replaced him during both games, resuming the starting role each time. [21][22][23]

Unitas was benched after four games due to a sore shoulder and disappointing play, replaced by Fouts, a rookie.

1988 Babe Laufenberg (2–4) / Mark Malone (2–6) / Mark Vlasic (2–0) Fouts retired during the offseason; Laufenberg was named the new starter in preseason. Laufenberg was replaced with Malone after six games due to disappointing play and a rib injury. Malone was replaced with Vlasic after a further four games due to disappointing play and a toe injury. Vlasic started two games before sustaining a knee injury, and Malone returned for the rest of the season. [63][64][65]
1989 Jim McMahon (4–7) / Billy Joe Tolliver (2–3) McMahon was brought in as a free agent during preseason, and became the starter. He was benched for rookie Tolliver in Week 8 due to bad play and various injuries. Tolliver struggled, and McMahon returned for Weeks 9–12.

1990 Mark Vlasic (0–1) / Billy Joe Tolliver (6–8) / John Friesz (0–1) Vlasic was named the starter in preseason.

1992 Bob Gagliano (0–1) / Stan Humphries (11–4) Friesz missed the entire regular season after injuring his knee in a preseason game. Gagliano was named the starter for Week 1, but played poorly and Humphries took over for the rest of the season. [74][75][76]
1993 Stan Humphries (6–4) / John Friesz (2–4) Humphries was replaced after four games due to bad performances while playing through a shoulder injury. After Friesz was ineffective over the next six games, Humphries was judged by head coach Bobby Ross to have recovered enough to reclaim the starting job. [77][78]
1994 Stan Humphries (11–4) / Gale Gilbert (0–1) Gilbert started in Week 10 due to a Humphries dislocated elbow. [79][80]
1995 Stan Humphries (9–6) / Gale Gilbert (0–1) Gilbert started in Week 7 due to a Humphries shoulder injury. [81][82]

1998 Ryan Leaf (3–6) / Craig Whelihan (2–5) Humphries retired during the offseason. Leaf, the #2 overall pick in the 1998 NFL draft, started the first nine games but was benched for Whelihan after posting a passer rating of 39.9, the worst in the league at that point. [87][88][89]
1999 Jim Harbaugh (6–6) / Erik Kramer (2–2) Leaf injured his shoulder during the offseason and did not play, while Whelihan was released from the team. Harbaugh opened as the starter, but struggled and was rested after sustaining cracked ribs and a bruised elbow during the Chargers' third game. Kramer was ineffective over the next four games, and Harbaugh returned for the rest of the season. [90][91][92]
2000 Ryan Leaf (1–8) / Moses Moreno (0–2) / Jim Harbaugh (0–5) Leaf was named the starter after impressing in preseason. Leaf was replaced with Moreno after performing badly in the first two games. Moreno injured his shoulder the following week, and Leaf returned for one more game before picking up a wrist injury. Harbaugh started the next five games before injuring his abdomen. Moreno started the next game and injured his knee. Leaf started the final six. [93][94][95]
2001 Doug Flutie (5–11) The Chargers either released or did not re-sign each of their three quarterbacks from the previous season. Flutie was a new signing, while Drew Brees was drafted in the 2nd round. [96][97]
2002 Drew Brees (8–8) Brees won the starting job from Flutie in preseason. [98][99]
2003 Drew Brees (2–9) / Doug Flutie (2–3) Brees was benched for poor performance after starting the first eight games. Flutie started the next five, then Brees was reinstalled to test his progress as a quarterback. [100][101]
2004 Drew Brees (11–4) / Doug Flutie (1–0) 1st-round draft pick Philip Rivers was brought in to replace Brees, but held out for a month in training camp, and Brees retained the job. He started the first fifteen games, and was replaced by Flutie in the regular season finale only because the Chargers were resting starters for the playoffs. [102][103][104]
2005 Drew Brees (9–7) [105]
2006 Philip Rivers (14–2) Brees was allowed to go to the New Orleans Saints in free agency, having dislocated his throwing shoulder in the 2005 season finale. [106][107]
2007 Philip Rivers (11–5) [108]
2008 Philip Rivers (8–8) [109]
2009 Philip Rivers (13–3) [110]
2010 Philip Rivers (9–7) [111]

2016 Philip Rivers (5–11) [117]
2017 Philip Rivers (9–7) [118]
2018 Philip Rivers (12–4) [119]
2019 Philip Rivers (5–11) [120]
2020 Tyrod Taylor (1–0) / Justin Herbert (6–9) Rivers was allowed to join the Indianapolis Colts in free agency, as keeping him would have made it difficult for the Chargers to keep under the salary cap. He had started in 224 consecutive games for the team. Taylor started in Week 1, but a team doctor inadvertently punctured his lung while giving him an injection shortly before the Week 2 game; Herbert, the #6 overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft, took over and kept the role. [121][122]
[123][124]
2021 Justin Herbert (9–8) [125]
2022 Justin Herbert (10–7) [126]
2023 Justin Herbert (5–8) / Easton Stick (0–4) Herbert started the first thirteen games before being ruled out for the rest of the season with a fractured finger. Fifth-year backup Easton Stick replaced him for the remainder of the season. [127][128][129]
2024 Justin Herbert (6–3)
