List of Los Angeles Chargers starting quarterbacks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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]
