Dan Fouts

Daniel Francis Fouts is an American former football quarterback who played for the San Diego Chargers of the National Football League (NFL) for his entire 15 season career. After a relatively undistinguished first five seasons in the league, Fouts came to prominence as the on-field leader during the Chargers' Air Coryell period. He led the league in passing every year from 1979 to 1982, passing for over 4,000 yards in the first three of these - no previous quarterback had posted consecutive 4,000-yard seasons. Fouts was voted a Pro Bowler six times, 1st-team All-Pro twice, and Offensive Player of the Year in 1982. He was named a member of the NFL 1980s All-Decade Team, and elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1993, his first year of eligibility.

People ask me who he reminds me of. The way he's playing, I'd say he doesn't remind me of anybody. I've never seen anybody - running back, quarterback, wide receiver - make the plays that Vince Young made today.
I remember Terry being exhausted from his latest Super Bowl win and all the things that go with it.
One of the great things personally coming to Hawai'i is my friendship of Jim Nicholson.
I try to keep an even keel.
I worked the Giants win over the Texans earlier this season. The Giants ran the heck out of the ball. Eli Manning rolled out away from Watt just about every time and changed the release point on his passes. The Cowboys have a road map.
Now that I'm retired, I want to say that all defensive linemen are sissies.
I'm a polyatheist - there are many gods I don't believe in.
So much of what you do physically happens because you've thought about it and mentally prepared for it.
Nothing good happens when you jump in the air.
First off there is no question that LaDainian is a first-ballot Hall of Famer. His contributions off the field to the community of San Diego are as important as what he did on the field. What he did on the field was monumental.
