Really getting tired of the ignorant trash talk from people who have no clue how good a football player Philip Rivers is. People who think the Chargers would have a bunch of Super Bowl rings if not for Rivers need to soak their heads. It isnt true. Rivers is an elite QB, and with all respect to the great Dan Fouts, Rivers is the best quarterback ever to wear a Chargers uniform. Football is a team game. Capiche? All things being equal, Rivers would have as many rings as anyone. Trust me. There are few QBs whove ever played the game that have more competitive fire and a higher football IQ. You can not point to a single playoff loss in which Rivers has started and say Rivers was the reason the Chargers lost. If Philip, LT and Gates werent all hurt in the AFC Championship game after the 2007 season, for example, the Chargers would have likely beaten the Patriots. It also wasnt Rivers fault that the Bolts lost to the Pats in the playoffs after the 2006 season. Blame that on Marlon Macree for fumbling after his pic and blame the Chargers D for not being able to stop the Pats late. Tom Brady had three interceptions in that game, Philip only one! Rivers has never thrown more than two pics in a playoff game. In 9 playoff games Rivers has 11 TD passes and 9 pics. By comparison, in 7 playoff games, Fouts had 12 TDs and 16 pics. Rivers also had a great game against the Steelers in the Chargers playoff game after the 2008 season, with three TD passes and more than 300 yards passing. But LT didnt play in that game, and the Charger defense couldnt stop the Steelers running game. Rivers showed his stuff again in the playoff game against Denver back in January, rallying the team from a 17-0 deficit. But the charger D once again could not not stop Denver on a crucial third down late. Rivers threw two TD passes and ZERO pics in that game, Peyton Manning threw one pic, but San Diegos defense let the team down late, again. It has never been Rivers whos kept San Diego from getting to the Super Bowl. These are facts. Facts are stubborn things.
