I remember watching the Chargers air it out in some sick games in the early 80's with Fouts throwing to Winslow, Joiner, and the other guys I am forgetting now. That was some sick offense.
I would say Toon and Walker were a deadly combo, just the two of them. Add Shuler at TE and a pretty good group of recievers.
I thought #9 was a bit low for that group too. It still baffles me as to how that team didn't go to at least one Super Bowl.
I think the 2009 Chargers were the best arsenal of recievers / pass-catching backs / tight end in NFL history ... remember how tall / fast / strong / atheletic they were???? But then we bitch-slapped them in the playoffs!
Maynard and Sauer were also no joke. But I get what the original poster was saying. Between the trio of BE, Holmes, and Cotchery, plus Keller, plus LT and Leon, this could be a special group of weapons for Sanchez.
I've said this numerous times but I have not been this excited about a Jets season in a long time. With the new stadium, coming off a AFC Championship game, #1 Defense, and Mark looking like he matured 5 years between the regular season and the playoffs.... Baseball Sucks!!!
I came in here to say the same thing, even though Johnny Mitchell actually did have at least one decent season in '93 (630yds, 6 tds)
Mitchell was a rookie in '92 and didn't really play w/ that group much as Toon had his career ending injury in 1992 that's why i didn't include him. As a pass catcher mitchell was really good. he wasted immense talent.
Just read the wiki write-up since it's been so long... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998%E2%80%9399_NFL_playoffs#NFC:_Atlanta_Falcons_30.2C_Minnesota_Vikings_27_.28OT.29 Maybe Randy Moss is cursed to never win a title.
