Dan Fouts is often overlooked in the conversation of “most prolific quarterbacks of all time,” mostly because of his shortcomings in the postseason. Playing in the “Air Coryell” offense of head coach Don Coryell, Fouts lead the NFL in passing four straight seasons (from 1979 to 1982), and became the first player in NFL history to throw for 4,000 yards three years in a row.

In 1979 and 1980, Fouts and the San Diego Chargers either had the best record in the AFC or were tied for the best record in the AFC, but never made it to the Super Bowl. In the seven postseason games in which Fouts played, he threw 16 interceptions.
