Why he is keeping it a secret is weird.

See, now this is the kind of in-depth analysis that keeps me coming back to PFT

Coincidence? I dont think so. Everyone likes to reminisce about the Manning trade…I bet if Phil the non-thrill Rivers has spent the last 8 years in the NFC east his numbers would have been like this all along.

His saying some of his passes should have been caught but were dropped makes me think ill of him as a leader. That’s a HUGE no no. Since he’s never to my knowledge pointed fingers before I think that indicates he’s feeling a great deal of pressure.

Phillip is forcing the ball down the field because he doesn’t have the sure-thing check down option that he had in years past. Yes, Tolbert can catch, but he’s not as effective (or consistent) as the little guy. Combine a QB who thinks he can make any throw any time, plus Gates who’s running on one leg, plus VJ who’s been a headcase (and overrated) for years, and this is what you get. One need only watch the Saints to realize AJ screwed the pooch yet again.

What quarterback has spent more time over the years berating teammates on the field for mistakes and poor play?

Well, okay, Peyton Manning.

Now that he has diagnosed the problem he can finally take some measures to rectify it.

One goes up when the other goes down.

He’s a great QB and this will all pass when we get a decent offensive line. The problem with the Chargers is AJ Smith’s selections on the O line and D line, not Rivers. Rivers is running for his life every time the ball is hiked.

Go back and look at his two early TD passes. The receivers were fairly well covered, and he threw the ball in there for the receiver to fight for. Either or both of these could/should have been picked off. Then the last INT in the endzone was in double coverage, ugly. Just like Favre would do when he pressed.

He’s forcing the ball and not making good decisions. Not sure if that is injury, poor coaching, feeling rushed by the line or what. But I thought it was pretty pronounced.

There will always be some that get tipped no matter the QB but really the big difference has been his decisions/accuracy compared to previous years. He has tried to force some throws and under/over threw others that he didn’t do previously.

You can see him trying to force it…insert joke here. Sorry I had to do that. But as a Bolt fan, it’s like a slow death watching him play like this. Fire Norv! GO Bolts!
