A.J. Smith, the architect of uber-talented Chargers teams, died Sunday at age 75 following long battle with prostate cancer
A.J. Smith presided over a tantalizing era of Chargers football that engrossed, thrilled and frustrated many thousands of San Diegans. If any of the 10 seasons under Smith had produced the Super Bowl run that many football experts projected of the Chargers in several of those years, who knows? The Chargers might’ve commanded enough public money to build an NFL stadium. They would still be in San Diego.
So why were the Chargers unable to break through? Outside from their own failings, which will be addressed below, notice the AFC’s strength. Five of the NFL's top six teams of the Smith Era were AFC clubs. That was a problem for the Chargers. Take a look at the QBs with those five teams. Two were no-doubt Hall of Famers — Brady and Peyton Manning. Give me the Steelers’ Ben Roethlisberger over Philip Rivers, due to his escape skills.
