Rivers is really, really good. The Chargers' struggles lately haven't been on him. I feel like he's..... maybe not overlooked by a lot of football fans but definitely under-appreciated because he hasn't had all the pieces guys like Brady and Manning and Rodgers have had to make them Superbowl contenders every year.
But just look at his career stats, and then imagine what a guy who is only 33-years-old with these stats could do with our Wide Receivers. Not to mention he's shown over and over again that he has that "leader" quality who can come back and win in a pinch.
Career completion %: 64.7
Yards-per-game: 247.4
Touchdowns: 252
Interceptions: 120
Passer Rating: 96.0
I'd pay a guy like that $25 million a year, which will probably be around the highest QB contract come 2016 anyway. There's literally no player currently on the roster that I wouldn't be willing to cut to make cap space(which we would probably have enough of anyway) to make room for Rivers. His impact on the team would far exceed anyone else we could lose.
