13 picks on the season.

Wasn't he one of those guys (those "many" guys) who was supposedly better than Romo?

Michael,

Yes I believe all of the talking heads loved him as well as his fiery on field demeanor and his "leadership" skills....

Ah yes, imagine if Romo did something stupid like throw two pick-6s and an additional interception to put the cherry on top of hand delivering a game to another team.

...oh wait.

Coming into today's game, Romo was the 11th rated passer in the NFL... River's the 19th.

I'm guessing the spread will be even greater come tomorrow.

Rivers is playing poorly this season, no doubt about it.

However, we have track records with these guys from the past six seasons. I'm not going to let eight games trump what has been done over 60+ NFL starts.

Rivers has been in the Top 2 in the entire league in passer rating the past three seasons.

Passer rating is the most overrated stat. Vince Young is top ten of all time in that category and he's obviously not good.

Lol, if Rivers is considered overrated despite the fact he owns one of the best winning% of any QB (including Romo). Despite the fact he's something like 3-4 in playoff games... If he's overated,

Rivers is a very good QB having a horrendous year. He probably wasn't as good as some previously thought and he isn't as bad overall, as he is playing this year.

The truth lies somewhere in between but there is no denying - he is stinking up the joint this year.

I am still a huge fan of Rivers and I still think he's a great QB.

Vince Young is ranked 96th all time in passer rating.

Well, he's obviously better at throwing pick sixes at the moment...

(channels Jim Carrey)

So, he's one of the 100 greatest QBs who ever lived??
