Comments on: Two picks for Philip Rivers

As a Chargers fan, here is my position on Rivers’ 2 interceptions against the Cowboys.

One of the picks was a deflection of the receivers hands. 100% not Rivers’ fault.

The other pick was underthrown to Meachem, 100% River’s fault.

BUT… I still see this pick as a good sign of things to come. Why? Because Rivers is used to throwing the long ball to guys like Malcom Floyd, Vincent Jackson and Antonio Gates. Big guys who can jump for the ball and bring it down. He’s not used to throwing the long ball to a speed receiver. Rivers underestimated Meachem’s gametime speed, so he learned (in preseason!) to add a few yards to the ball.

If Rivers had thrown the ball an extra 2-3 yards, Meachem catches the ball in stride and gets the easy touchdown.

This is preseason, and this is Rivers’ and Meachem’s first year playing together. This is going to be dangerous for our opposing teams’ defenses. They’d better keep their safeties WAAAY back in every throwing situation.

@LT2futurehof – “Give it time, good grief. Also, the D of Dallas pressured Rivers all night”
———————————————————-

That may be even more troubling for SD as Dallas played without their 4 best pass rushers in Ware, Ratliff, Hatcher and Spencer.

Ughh @mallymall619

Rivers best season came when he didn’t have Vincent Jackson– thanks to his hold out.

So I don’t know how to say this but… You’re wrong.

Rivers is in 2011 form. Three picks and a fumble in two games, and he’s only playing part time. Super Bowl Express.

Okay been waiting a Looong time to get on here…..My Take on Philip Rivers as a DieHard Chargers Fan….Rivers will not …I Repeat…Will NOT Lead us to a Super Bowl….Rivers is one of thee Most Overrated QBs in the League…the reason he has the #s he had is because of how tall his recievers were…Vincent Jackson Caught all of Rivers BS..Underthrowing and Over throwing…Rivers Buckles Under Pressure…and it has Shown in the past years! I say we need to Draft another QB

And yet Carson Palmer is the consesus worst QB in the division. How’s that taste Dolt fans?

Wow, people take the preseason way to literal, Rivers has new chemistry to make with his new wide receiver and preseason is meant for trying things out and Meachem and Rivers do not have great chemistry yet. Give it time, good grief. Also, the D of Dallas pressured Rivers all night

Lighten up Captain Cliche, it’s funny. hulkhogansays started a funny trend, and it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. I’m ready for sergeantslaughtersays, ultimatewarriorsays, tatankasays and therocksays. Let the boys have fun.

“While the second one wasn’t Rivers’ fault, it shows up that way on the stat sheet. For the preseason, Rivers’ state sheet shows three total interceptions.”

the sky is falling!

None of the 3 professional football teams in California are any good and that’s the bottom line because Stone Cold said so.
