Could Rivers be McCarthy's Garcia or Gannon?

[CouchCoach]

The word is the Chargers are hot for Herbert and letting Rivers walk and while I admit I didn't watch him play in 2019 as much as I have in the past, he is still one of the most accurate passers and is that guy that can make every throw. He does throw more picks because he does have a little gunslinger in him but he's also 6'5" with a cannon.

I don't know what Big Mike thinks of him but with this offense around him but I think they could get him on a shorter term deal than Prescott. Garcia and Gannon both became better QB's with a change in coaching and were allowed to use their skills.

He is 38 and I don't know how much he would cost but it is an option if Prescott is too set on his contract demands.

I guess the question comes down to which QB you think is the better one but with these weapons around Rivers, it intrigues me to think of him as the DC QB for 2-3 seasons. He's all about getting the ball out and into a playmaker's hands.

The other QB FA's, Brady, Brees, Bridgewater, Keenum, Tannehill don't do a lot for me but Rivers is that guy that has seldom had a really good team around him and he had to carry it too often. I also don't think Brady or Brees hits the bricks and I don't see Bridgewater as an upgrade over Prescott but he might be more affordable.

 

[CATCH17]

We need to see how the QB chips fall first because Rivers would be down on my list.

I think Derek Carr in our offense would be really good and at worst he would be Dak out there.

Rivers at the right price would be better then Dak but my gosh is he a statue at this point.

Who knows what could happen with Brady, Brees, Cam, and how many other pieces start falling after that.

This offseason could be incredible to see where QB's end up.

Honestly chargers have just as good if not better weapons then Dallas.

He threw 20 picks last yet. He's not a better option than Dak.

I'm factoring in potential contract as well. I would take Dak over Rivers at this point if all things are equal.

Dak is terrible value for what he is.

 

[ShiningStar]

no.

Raider's fans can't wait to be rid of Carr.

 

[CATCH17]

Raider's fans can't wait to be rid of Carr.

Yeah because he has been Dakverage for them. Very similar TD/INT ratio's on a team thats not nearly as optimal for QB play as ours.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Even Romo is laughing at this thread's topic.

They didn't want him there when he had Amari and you want to put them back together.

I suspect Carr would give us something similar to Dak. I just don't see making a change for "something similar". Of course, the contract situation is the big key. If Dak were to demand $10 million/year more than Carr, then maybe you look at a change, but if the contracts are at least in the same neighborhood I wouldn't favor a change.

Sure.. Amari made a pro bowl with Carr and part of why Amari does so well here is because he can get good matchups because of Zeke.

Amari makes Dak.. Don't get it twisted. That has been clear since he got here. When he isn't good the team isn't good.

How much have you actually watched Carr?

 

[CATCH17]

Laugh all you want by try and pay attention.

3-5 before acquiring him.. 7-1 after..

Look at when we did well this year. When Amari started sputtering so did the entire team.

Amari is one of the few explosive players we have.

Our defense doesn't make big plays... Our RB stopped making big plays... Nobody else really makes big plays besides Amari and this league is all about big plays.

This was 2 years ago Dak vs Carr: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...scott-wholl-end-up-with-more-super-bowl-rings

That being when it was, I'd love to see another one, I bet Dak gets more votes today. Rivers looked off last season to me and I'd take Dak over Carr for sure at this point.

Enough to know that he would do well in an optimal QB environment.
