According to your link, Jeff Garcia is a better QB than Dan Marino.

I believe the Chargers are out of the race in Quarterbackery despite Rivers being #4 on the list and having almost 0 pass protection for the past 2 years.

At this point you're pushing a Chiefs agenda and I completely understand, I made this post/thread Chargers-centric by mentioning both Rivers and Humphries.

The results of this poll will indicate the leanings of the KC fans. If they feel good about their current direction at QB they'll ignore the fact the WAS has had the better QBs. If they feel bad WAS will win.

Facts will not help you in your agenda. Feelings are what homers base their choices on. You should post a clip of puppies and kittens. That may get the Chiefs over the top.

I'm not pushing a Chiefs agenda at all, and in fact I'm interested to see how it turns out. They're going to be far from the top of the list, but in fairness they shouldn't be near the bottom. If they end up in the bottom half dozen, I think it'll reflect a couple of things:

- a tougher grading curve for Chiefs QBs than for other teams' QBs.
- possibly a bias toward the more recent end of the 50-year period, which is understandable. The Chiefs' all-time great QB was at the early end, and I bet that hurts their cause.

I'll be interested to see where the Chargers end up. All in all, I think you may actually have the best 50-year history in the AFC West, and should be easily in the top half. In a completely objective ranking, the Chargers might even sneak into the top ten.
