Well the Dak fan boys love Daks passing yards so they should love Rivers too since he finished 4th in passing behind 1. Jameis, 2. Dak, 3. Goff, 4. Rivers. Elite production...

Rivers also tossed 7 fewer TD passes than Dak. He had 20 INT’s and had a passer rating of 88.5. Rivers went through a stretch of 7 straight games where he tossed an INT. The Chargers were thinking about benching him.

I think he's terrible but I don't think any of the top 5 throwers this year are very good QB's.

Right. he just had to get his weak point in the thread.

Johnny Appleseed has like 9 kids already, there's no telling what will happen once he retires.

Players with enough talent and good coaching can excel, look at Ryan Tannehill. Rivers never had a good o-line, he was on his back most of his time as a QB.

this reminds me of the semantics of when Garret was "fired" Was he fired or just not re-signed? Same here if his contract ran out and they don't want to sign Rivers again is it really being released?
doesnt matter, why am I wasting time asking

For sure Chargers will draft a QB or try to trade up.

How do you release a free agent?

Not good enough for starter money anymore.
Not sure if he would want to be a back up, He already moved his family to Florida, nor sure if he would want to move again, try to get on in a team in Florida or retire.

geez Im in Florida and I would love to live in San Diego instead. If I had his millions it wouldnt be a question. He must have family in FLA

Yea, but imagine what he would do if he had a real coach with a real scheme.

Rivers may end up in the Hall of Fame with the numbers he put up, he had a great career in San Diego with the scheme he was in. He’s clearly in decline and is pushing 39. He was released for a reason. Not interested!

Too late for that. He cant even throw the ball 20 yards down the field without it looking ugly.

Maybe...as a cheap veteran backup

So, you're saying he's the perfect trade-off for Dak "dink and dunk?"

Hook'em#11 · Feb 10, 2020

Sweet, Get rid of Dak, sign up Rivers as a Backup and Brady.. Good to go!!!! hahahahahhaa

Joe Realist · Feb 10, 2020

Is he really in the decline though?

It's not really fair to judge Rivers unless he has a real OL, real RB, real WR, real defense and a real coach now is it?

erod · Feb 10, 2020

He should retire, but he's got 19 mouths to feed.

You are clinging to an old argument. Dak was 5th in the NFL in yards per attempt in 2019.

No Just no

And yet the man is an 8x Pro Bowler.
