Bleacherreport.com: Rivers is Overrated




Overrated??

Star-divide

Philip Rivers is by no means overrated. He's orchestrated a dozen career 4th quarter comebacks, triple digit QB ratings, and a 3 to 1 TD to INT ratio. Last night he had at least 6 catchable balls land on the soggy turf, and that's not his fault. Peyton Manning had even more catchable balls thrown that his receivers dropped, and it was Dry for their game. Either way, they can bite one hard for insulting one of the greatest QB's in the game today. He is if anything, underrated. His Pocket presence is second to none and his throws are excellent. He's immensely smart and tougher than any QB in the game today. Hurry up and agree with me in the comments.

I like internet fights

So I find something that angers me and go all passive-aggressive-aggressive

Rivers is easily a top 3 QB

I hate him still though.

When you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail.

Jamaal above all. #25 ftw.

To be perfectly honest,

I didn’t expect a comeback win. Not to do with Rivers’ ability, but the receivers having been terrible all game. At least 6 catchable balls that were missed.

He did lead a comeback. It’s hardly the QB’s fault the receiver fell down .

Second sentence

Many of my posts have spelling and grammatical errors. I should not cast stones. I will remain quiet.

Few of my posts have spelling and grammatical errors, whatever else you can say about them.

So I’ll throw a rock for you.

No idea

Calling Rivers overrated it only shows absolutly no knowledge of the game, plain and simple.

What a bush league editorial

Rivers is clearly one of the top 5 QB’s in the NFL right now, and has been there for the past 3 seasons.

The guy has the biggest heart and helped lead SD to the AFC championship game against the Patriots………………………..where he played the game on a torn ACL despite having the knee scoped the weekend prior after beating Indy in Indy.

Back to back 4,000 yard seasons. Back to back 105 QB rating. Back to back 3 to 1 TD to interception ratio.

Basically by any statistical measure imaginable he’s top 5 if not better. As far as intangibles he is clearly fearless, will play hurt, never accepts that the team is out of a game, and works hard to get the most out of his abilities. He’s a winner plain and simple.

...also the NFL single season TD record

It could be a long time before someone breaks that record.

Huh? No, Brady has that.

On his head, in the rain, with a 3-4 defense, 2 WR's and Darren Sproles

Who else can claim that?

6/10/2010 - Tra Thomas signs with the Chargers
8/21/2010 - Tra Thomas retires.

That was fast.
