Give me Cutler any day of the week over Rivers… All Rivers does is whine and throw picks.
———————————
Rivers has 7 LESS picks than Cutler in 23 more game played. What an uninformed statement. The O-line is the reason for the recent interceptions. Fix it and Rivers will make average receivers look great and play at a pro-bowl level again. It will happen.

I hate his guts, but he’s damn talented.

They blame the lack of quality receivers and offensive linemen for his woes.
There are more than a few NFL QB’s who have the exact same issues who don’t throw all the picks.
Something has happened to him in the last two years. He has undeniable talent, but lacks the confidence he used to have. And it does not ALL come from running for his life and slow receivers.
We need to get to the root of the problem and quit making all these boilerplate excuses.
He needs someone to intensely work with him and get him back to pre-2010 levels. Maybe McCoy is that guy. We’ll see.

His line was dismal. Mathews is a bust. Meachem and Royal are glorified kick returners. Gates had his worst year since he was a rookie. Philip has coughed up the ball almost 50 times in the past two seasons, and while that’s been enjoyable, it’s not all on him.

Then u have Newton, Cutler, Dalton, Romo, Stafford, Schaub, Bradford, who I would lump Rivers with, your math is off sdb0ltz.

Can’t wait to see the Chiefs own the Chargers next year.

Vincent Brown. Antonio Gates. Malcom Floyd. Build a top OL, get these four on the field together, and Rivers will be a top 5 QB again.

I cant believe they let him flounder like they do.,

Can anyone thats not a Charger fan name a receiver on the squad?

denario Alexander was the only one catching passes for this guy.

What he had then that he hasn’t had the past two seasons was decent protection. Upgrading the OL must be the Chargers’ top priority this off-season. It’s impossible to accurately make conclusions about Rivers until this happens, until he plays behind an OL he has faith in again. He is still in the prime age for an NFL QB.

He plays with emotion much like a lot of quaterbacks, he wasn’t a crybaby playing in an AFC championship game following a previous week of 2 knee surgeries.

He wasn’t a crybaby when the now fire GM gave away Sproles, Turner, VJ, among others.

All Rivers has done is bring his lunchpale to work and get flattened behind a weak offensive line.

I like to see you posters talkin about him being a crybaby take the hits he does

Otherwise you’re talking out of your butt.

At least 25 of the 32 teams would drop their QB this minute for Rivers.

The biggest Irony is there is a Jet fan trying to talk smack about Rivers…. really dude. Cmoooooon mannnn.

I think with some more help on offense he can get the job done. I would have taken him in Miami before we drafted 17, I can’t wait for the season to start!
