Ryan Leaf On Chargers: "It Seems Like A Struggle"
Leaf, the No. 2 overall pick in 1998, shared his candid thoughts on his former team
The Los Angeles Chargers will play their home games at SoFi Stadium in 2020. They just don’t know who their quarterback will be.
Will it be 38-year-old Philip Rivers, who completed 66.0 percent of his passes for 4,615 yards, 23 touchdowns and an AFC-worst 20 interceptions this season? Will it be a veteran free agent? Or will it be a rookie?
“You look at the draft, especially with the sixth pick in the draft, I think that’s something,” former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf said on Tiki & Tierney. “You can go in many different directions. You could look at a big-time arm and body in Justin Herbert at 6, or you could even look at a banged-up Tua Tagovailoa there and let him redshirt a year, sit behind Philip Rivers and learn. So there’s a lot of things you can do.”
That includes, potentially, signing six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady, who could be on his way out of New England.
“I know speculation has been you try and get a big trade or a free agent even like Tom Brady,” Leaf said, “but there’s so many quarterbacks. Can you imagine Drew Brees back in Los Angeles in a Chargers uniform? So there’s so much that can be done.”
Whatever the Chargers decide, it needs to be right. They went 5-11 this year, and fan support was, well, not good.
“Right now, it seems like a struggle,” Leaf said. “You’re about to move into a $5 billion facility after you really couldn’t fill a soccer stadium in Carson, California. So it’s a scary idea, but they’re not going anywhere. They got to make it work.”
