I had Rivers last season. He started out like gangbusters but was unstartable down the stretch and in FF playoffs. I believe this happened a few years ago when I had him too.
Last year was an aberration. It was a perfect storm for a second half decline:
Last year was an anomaly. Not sure when that happened a few years ago though. Rivers is one of the best December QBs of all time. Has the 3rd best december record in nfl history, and before last year, he had 66 touchdowns, 20 interceptions and 8,337 yards in the month of December.
When he hasn't played to a franchise qb level I have suggested they don't extend his contract to pay him as a top 5 QB, yes.
Nice spin. You have been saying the team should move on from him for years, and this is the first time I recall you associating that with Rivers not being a top 3 QB.
True, I have been saying for years he(and most other players) should only be paid like a franchise player if, you know, thay are performing like a franchise player. It's a controversial stance I'll admit bit that's just the burden I am willing to bare.
The Chargers have had great QB play for a stretch of 11 years and counting. It isn't Rivers' fault that the team around him hasn't been good enough to win a lot of playoff games.
He'll need to improve his playoff record if he really wants to be considered one of the best of all time.
Rivers was pulled in the 4th to protect his health after he got pummeled all day thanks to his OL being horrendous. Clemens came in and threw the second TD to Allen.
Totally agree with this, I feel like Rivers is one of the best QBs in the league. As much as the Lions problems aren't to do with Stafford this year, I'd love to see what they'd look like with Rivers as their QB - smart, plays hard, experienced and with weapons like Calvin, Tate, Ebron and good pass catching RBS it could be a glorious thingCan we change the name of this thread?
The guys like one of my fav QBs ex. Aside from probably Big Ben, I cant see any QB playing through an ACL injury..
If hes terrible? Whys he been in the Top ten the last two Seasons..
Hopefully we start seeing more two QB Leagues..
No way,, Would someone utter "terrible" and Rivers in same sentence..
btw Pitt going to the West Coast? Rivers earns must start status (Unless your Trade challenged like me) ie. Brady in Dallas
There have been 17 500 yard passing games in NFL history. (Nice that Rivers got the 17th to match his jersey number.)
Green should have caught a TD and didn't make the play. Your whining about him is getting old.
Gates dropped a first down throw on 4th down that he definitely should have caught. Green dropped a TD in the end zone; it wasn't an easy catch, but he got both hands on it, and the way everyone raves about his athletic ability, he should have caught it. If he makes plays like that for Rivers, he will earn more targets.Milkman said:
I think you're letting Milkman get to you. That would have been an extraordinary grab.Just Win Baby said:
Yeah that's my thinking too and for the record I'm not trying to get to him. Rivers threw the ball 65 times AND Green gets 4 targets? I think that's a joke and I'm going to call them out on it when I see Green wide open on the same side of the field as the pass was thrown but Rivers still forces it into tight coverage. No one within 6-7 yards of Green and he likely scores. Instead they kick a FG. HmmmmmmBesides Green's catch rate is very good. He has made all kinds of catches for Rivers. I don't think that's what critics of Green should be attacking.
