Lofton says Rivers is not a HoF'er.....

That's funny because when I think of least deserving HOF'ers, Lofton is probably #1.

If I remember correctly, Norv fired him and replaced him with Charlie Joiner who was previously coaching in KC. And Joiner had done a very good job for us during those Norv years. Norv made coaching change after speaking with the players, getting their honest opinion, in the process of the evaluation of the previous season.

Rivers must had saying something, lol. Lofton was butt hurt. His "opinion" is neither logical or making any sense. If Rivers doesn't deserve HOF then who is, Lofton? Rivers is SD all-time passing leader and is a surefire Hall of Famer. I'm not sure it's even worth debate on. The guy that doesn't deserve to be in the HOF is Eli Manning, who is an interception machine and relied on his dominant defensive-lines and lucky bounces on those 2 SB wins.

Plenty of QBs in HOF that haven't won Superbowls: Marino, Fouts, Tarkenton, Moon, ... If we follow Lofton's approach, more than half HOFers shouldn't be in there. Lofton is full of it.

FOUTS

One thing that is not accounted for and under appreciated about Rivers, is that he played in a tough division for so long. As good as Brady, Manning and Brees are, they played in weak divisions for majority of their careers, and I wonder how they would have done if they had to play in some of toughest venues like Arrowhead, Mile High & Coliseum every year.

Joe Montana played in a crap Division for a long time too.
