(CQDP34) all the components responsible for the Chargers' success this season, possibly none is more important than quarterback Stan Humphries. When Humphries was playing well early in the season, the Chargers got off to a 6-0 start.

He has also played well in December, helping the Chargers head into the playoffs with a two-game winning streak. If the Chargers are to advance to the Super Bowl, they need two more well-played games from their quarterback. "Its a good time now to get Jhot," said the 6-foot-2, 223-pound Humphries. Humphries season has been described as streaky. I think Stan is very sharp, Isaid Chargers coach Bobby Ross.

He can be streaky at times but I dont think he ever plays poorly. Humphries was voted third alternate to the Pro Bowl squad (after completing over 58 percent of his passes. He finished with 3,209 yards and 17 touchdowns. He was also intercepted 12 times and fashioned a career-best 81.6 quarterback rating. But more important than the are this fact: Humphries wins games.

The Chargers are 27-11 in games hes started )since he was acquired from prior to the 1992 peason. This season, Humphries had to battle through an assortment jof injuries. Theres been a sprained knee, a bruised hip, a sprained ankle, a bruised thumb and, worse of all, a distorted left elbow. Although the elbow injury plagued Humphries during the middle of the season, he only missed one game. He later underwent arthroscopic surgery to premove loose cartilage from the elbow and played six days later.

Ross admires the toughness Humphries has displayed. I "Stan is as tough as any quarterback Ive ever coached, said Ross, who named off four future NFL quarterbacks he coached at Maryland in Boomer Esia-son, Frank Reich, Stan Gel-baugh and Neil ODonnell. "Its the ingredient that they all have. Humphries downplays how ttugh the physical pounding has been. "Mentally, its been tough, said the 29-year-old Humphries.

Physically, I dont think its hampered me.

Ross said wearing it doesnt bother Humphries. Not anymore, Ross said. Its like a helmet or shoulder pads. Its just something he puts on every day. Its all part of Humphries whrtrrT-tt-takes-to-win atti tude.

His guttiness has been essential to the Chargers accomplishments this season. Humphries takes pride that the Chargers are a playoff team after being pegged as a lower-echelon team by most experts. Yet, hes also cautious. "Its satisfying to a point but its not over yet, Humphries said. "We won the West but weve won the West before.
