GimmeSomeProcess Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Pleaseeeeeeeee let this happen. Rivers is a monster downgrade from Brady. At that point I’d take Dalton or Bridgewater over him I

Shades of February 99 i guess....cmon teams, yall can do better than this They are pretending to move on. Rivers wants no part of playing for that garbage franchise. You could tell he wanted out in his end of the year presser. If they were still in San Diego they would still have Rivers.

If Brady eats up 30 mill+ of that then it would seriously impede them signing the rest of their key FA's. 2

It would be ironic if we had the Rivers-Brees contest all over again, but I really don't think NO will do anything with Brees until Brees says he's done. Rivers is a tough sell. He thinks he's still a starting QB and will want to get paid like one, and will not be content to be a backup somewhere. I think he'll end up just sitting until some team that figures it's ready to win right now loses its starting QB to injury, and needs to find the right short-term replacement. 4308 32tds 12ints 105.5 qb rating Phillip Rivers 2018 season I don’t think he is as done as some of you think. He had a season that wasn’t so great but not completely terrible and you want to act like he’s been declining for years. I hope he doesn’t sign with NE.

I will be plenty satisfied getting there with Josh in the next year or two.

I want them to spend a #1 pick on a project QB. Could see Mariota landing with the Chargers or maybe Colts. In the right setting, he could be a comeback story. Frank Reich did wonders with Nick Foles. I hope that NE signs anyone but Rivers. Rivers is far from done.

Here I was thinking that it was a piss poor Oline and an inability to run the ball. He wasn’t awful this season and I think you may want to take a look at his 2018 season. Come back to me when you actually know what you’re talking about and not just looking at one stat. The Ints were high this year but an 88 QB rating doesn’t say it’s all his fault. Maybe there is a reason he wants out of LA. I remember when people thought Warner was done. He will end up in Tenn, NE, Tampa or Indy. We should revisit this at the end of 2020. Rivers is the #1 QB on the market this offseason not Brady.

Rivers is the #1 QB on the market this offseason not Brady. Well chances are he ends up on either Miami or Tampa. He’s not signing anywhere else since he’s relocated his family to Florida. And yes he is the reason they went 5-11. He threw 20 INTs this year genius and technically he was one of the worst starting QBS in 2019. I’m sorry the guys a bum and always has been, should’ve kept Brees. Probably would’ve won 2-3 Super Bowls with those teams Rivers had. Granted their o line didn’t play well but I’ve seen QBs adapt and try to find ways to win. Fitzpatrick had a horrible if not the worst o line in Miami and he still managed to get it done with the lack of talent they have in Miami. Rivers has no excuse due to him having some great WRs to throw to. You can’t win if you keep throwing to the other team which Rivers is known for Edited February 3, 2020 by BuffaloBills1998
DCOrange Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) The O-Line and Rivers (largely due to the O-Line but also because his arm wears down every season) were the worst parts of the Chargers this year. I truly think they would have been better off starting Tyrod. He at least could have helped negate the poor O-Line play a little bit. Edited February 3, 2020 by DCOrange

Trying to compare Fitzpatrick to Rivers is a joke.

More wins than Eli, Bradshaw, Aikman, Moon, Kelly, Stabler and Young. Lower interception percentage than both Mannings, Marino, Warner, and Favre. Rivers was a very good to great Quarterback, one of the best to ever play. Comparing him to FItzpatrick in anyway is asinine. He was bad this year, so was his team. I think he can give a team one to two more decent years while they groom a rookie. Edited February 3, 2020 by thenorthremembers 1
Bookie Man Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Rivers has always reminded very much of Bledsoe. Edited February 3, 2020 by NC Book 1

Bledsoe himself was very inconsistent most of his career, I had a feeling he wasn’t going to do much when we signed him. I appreciate and respect his efforts here but he wasn’t the answer
