@glencoe428 he was an offensive genius! RIP in deed! Too bad they never had a good defense!

@Tony211169 Well yeah. In Oakland's favor. I would have loved that. I know this sounds crazy, but I'm crazy enough to believe that Ken Stabler or Jim Plunkett would have done great in the Air Coryell system.

[Tony211169]

@Oaklandgirlpitlover1 But yeah, think about that. If Fouts had played for Oakland, things would have been very different in the AFC West, yeah?

[Tony211169]

@Oaklandgirlpitlover1 Yes I do remember that game. I remember my Grandmother was telling me that she was cheering on the Steelers and I told her that the Chargers would win. And even though I am a Chargers fan, there are Raider players that I do like. I liked Jim Plunkett, Marcus Allen and Lyle Alzado and others as well.

@Tony211169 I'm a Raiders fan, but even I liked Dan Fouts and that Offense. Until they would play the Raiders. Do you remember in 1980, when The Chargers played the Steelers on Monday Night Football? I thought the defending Super Bowl Champions was going to beat the Chargers. A Steelers win would have helped the Raiders. But as it turned out, The Chargers SPANKED Pittsburgh. The Chargers "AIR CORYELL" Offense won my admiration and respect that night. Imagine if Dan Fouts had played for Oakland.

[Tony211169]

I had a Charger Power t-shirt when I was a kid and man if you were a kid in Chula Vista, which is just outside San Diego, and didn't have a Charger Power shirt on you either didn't like football or you were a Raiders fan! LOL! j/k

No seriously though, I remember everyone being insane about the Chargers and I was about 9 or 10 years old then!
